View the lyrics
You're in control. pressing pause on my heartbeat
Someone stole all the air, so I can't speak now
I know the chase is on
I feel as though my time has come

How many times do I fly through your head space
Now it's speeding away from a safe place
Yeah, your skin, your touch, the kiss
The rush too much and here it comes

When your lips touch mine
It's the kiss of life, I know
I know that it's a little bit frightening
We might as well be playing with lightning

We touch like
Like it's our first time, oh-oh
I know that it's a little bit frightening
We might as well be playing with lightning now

Just you and me and the coats in the back room
Learning things they don't teach in classroom
Now, you're here and feel the fear
But everything is all so clear

I've been addicted to you since it first hit
Out of control like a surge of electric
Yeah, your skin, your touch, the kiss
The rush too much and here it comes

When your lips touch mine
It's the kiss of life I know
I know that it's a little bit frightening
We might as well be playing with lightning

We touch like
Like it's our first time, oh-oh
I know it's a little bit frightening
We might as well be playing with lightning now

Your skin, your touch, the kiss, too much
Your skin, your touch, the kiss, the rush
Your skin, your touch, the kiss, too much
The rush, the rush, the rush, the rush

When your lips touch mine
It's the kiss of life, I know
I know that it's a little bit frightening
We might as well be playing with lightning

We touch like
Like it's our first time, oh-oh
I know it's a little bit frightening
We might as well be playing with lightning now
