Make It Out Alive Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Starin' into lonely eyes
Starin' into my reflection
If all I know is hurt, I'd rather be high
I know it's gonna rain sometimes
Heaven doesn't make exceptions
I never thought I'd see a cloud in the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
Promises that haunt my dreams
You're the storm that's hangin' over me (Oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Every word twists like a knife
And I'm left here high and dry
I don't know if I'll make it out alive
And I'm pushin' it to the edge
'Cause I just want to forget
I don't know if I'll make it out alive
[Verse 2]
All I ever see is bluе
You are so hypnotisin'
The color of your eyеs, I'll never get over you
Maybe that's the way I was made
To hold on to the things that I can't change
I just wish I had the courage to see the truth
Starin' into lonely eyes
Starin' into my reflection
If all I know is hurt, I'd rather be high
I know it's gonna rain sometimes
Heaven doesn't make exceptions
I never thought I'd see a cloud in the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
Promises that haunt my dreams
You're the storm that's hangin' over me (Oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Every word twists like a knife
And I'm left here high and dry
I don't know if I'll make it out alive
And I'm pushin' it to the edge
'Cause I just want to forget
I don't know if I'll make it out alive
[Verse 2]
All I ever see is bluе
You are so hypnotisin'
The color of your eyеs, I'll never get over you
Maybe that's the way I was made
To hold on to the things that I can't change
I just wish I had the courage to see the truth
[Pre-Chorus]
Promises that haunt my dreams
You're the storm that's hangin' over me (Oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Every word twists like a knife
And I'm left here high and dry
I don't know if I'll make it out alive
And I'm pushin' it to the edge
'Cause I just want to forget
I don't know if I'll make it out alive
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (No, no)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (No, no)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Ah, yeah)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Oh yeah)
No, I don't know if I'll make it out
[Outro]
Every word twists like a knife
And I'm left here high and dry
I don't know if I'll make it out alive
Promises that haunt my dreams
You're the storm that's hangin' over me (Oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Every word twists like a knife
And I'm left here high and dry
I don't know if I'll make it out alive
And I'm pushin' it to the edge
'Cause I just want to forget
I don't know if I'll make it out alive
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (No, no)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (No, no)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Ah, yeah)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Oh yeah)
No, I don't know if I'll make it out
[Outro]
Every word twists like a knife
And I'm left here high and dry
I don't know if I'll make it out alive

What did Olly Alexander say about "Make It Out Alive"?
Genius Answer
Another one I had from 2019, when it was much more lo-fi. This version has that sweet spot of nostalgia and the euphoric feeling I get when I hear Kate Bush’s ‘Cloudbusting’. This is definitely the most emotional track, and at first I wondered if it was jarring to have it on the album, because a lot of the songs are about wanting to have fun. This one is like, ‘I don’t know if I’m going to make it out alive.’ But that’s very much how it goes sometimes [in a breakup], isn’t it?
