We live on miracles baby, with this tonight
So why don't you touch me so I
So I can feel that connection
Don't be afraid lets get it high
'Cause love is the only direction
It's time to let her know
Can't hold it in no more
It's burning deep inside and we got to let it go
They tell us turn it down, we're never growing up
Forever living young, the world
Come on and get it
We light the sky (come on and get it)
A billion lights tonight (come on and get it)
Flashing in your eyes (come on and get it)
A spark might start a fire (come on and get it)
A million miles an hour (come on and get it)
And they can't stop the power (come on and get it)
We light the sky (come on and get it)
A billion lights tonight (come on and get it)
It's just that freedom we're tasting
No drink, no pills
Don't mind that ruckus we're making
We're living for the thrill
So why don't you hold me so I
So I can feel that connection
Don't be afraid lets get it high
'Cause love is the only direction
It's time to let her know
Can't hold it in no more
It's burning deep inside and we got to let it go
They tell us turn it down, we're never growing up
Forever living young, the world
Come on and get it
We light the sky (come on and get it)
A billion lights tonight (come on and get it)
Flashing in your eyes (come on and get it)
A spark might start a fire (come on and get it)
A million miles an hour (come on and get it)
And they can't stop the power (come on and get it)
We light the sky (come on and get it)
A billion lights tonight (come on and get it)
(Come on and get it)
(Come on and get it)
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
(Woooah Woooah oh oh oh oh oh...)
We light the sky (come on and get it)

Flashing in your eyes (come on and get it)
A spark might start a fire (ah)
