I'm on fire and nothing's gonna hold me backEndless blue sky and a pocket full of tricks to tryYou pick a colour and I'll sing it for youI know you feel the same waySay, say, say you feel the same way.
Chorus:Fingertips alive – superhuman touchCan't get enough of this electric loveBurning the sun with just a wave of your handSparks flying out in every directionThere's more of this to come I think it must be heavenBurning the sun with just a wave of your hand
I'm on fire, golden echoes upon my faceTell those dreamersThey can dream up all they like in this placeYou pick a colour and I'll sing it for youI know you feel the same waySay, say, say you feel the same way
Chorus
Just one day like this will keeping (sic.!) me going onTender kisses will keep me going on
Chorus
Seems like heaven's broken looseIt couldn't be more beautifulI just want to burn the sun with youA messed up garden to inspireThe greatest minds in all their powerI just want to burn the sun with youIn just a wave of your hand.

I never really know who you areYou could be a ghost for all I knowwhenever you're homePicking up pieces of my heartLike leaves that have fallen on our garden path
Who's gonna fly your planeWhen you need to make your getaway?
But I'm still holding onCalling you back home, calling you back
I never really know who you areYou could be a ghost for all I knowwhenever you're homeUsed to be closer to my skinTurned a blind eye to the odds and I bet everything
Who's gonna fly your planeWhen you need to make your getaway?
But I'm still holding onCalling you back home, calling you back
You hear my flesh and my bonesThey're calling you back home, calling you back
This house lives in silence for most of the yearYou're a million miles away but you couldn't be nearerPlease break my heart just so I can feelAt least I would have something I could believe
But I'm still holding onCalling you back home, calling you backYou hear my flesh and my bonesThey're calling you back home, calling you back
OH OH OH

I waded through the darkest fields you'd imagineYour pretty face sketched on the barrel of my gunAnd I know you'll be the first to welcome meWhen I climb into eternityOh, oh
The forest always kept us warmBut it doesn't feel like home anymoreAnd I know there's bigger mountains where you areAnd a better climate for my heartOh, oh
Chorus:I've been racing the clockAnd I've run out of steamI am ready for my final symphonyOh my body is weakBut my soul is still strongI am ready to rest in your arms
Though many battles I have wonI lost too many friends I could count onAnd I know, they'll be the first to welcome meWhen I parachute into eternityOh, oh
Chorus
And the rain beat down on the rooftopsBut there was no soundThere was no soundAnd all my friends and family carried meThey carried me homeCarried me home
Chorus 2x

Don't hold your breath cause we're running in circlesSilence runs along phone linesI feel like I am swimming through pavementsAnd then the dark throws me a lifeline
Chorus:I'll be the sky that lights up with fireworksWhenever Novembers comesAnd you could be the greatest thing that has happened to meThough I don't know you now
Don't hold your breathcause we've already been hereThere are trees to remember you byThose treese are cold but they're anticipatingThe sun is gonna give the kiss of life
Chorus
I'm blowing breath on the windowpaneSketching your name with my fingerI'm blowing breath on the windowpaneSketching your face with my finger
Chorus 2x

Mother do you still love this child?Baby on the runFather would you forgive me now?When you see what I have become
Love come rescueLove come rescue
There's a swallow on the phone wireSinging songs unto my painSongs I will rememberTo lift me up again
Love come rescueLove come rescueLove come rescueLove come rescue

I was lost oh noAnd my heart beat with the stereoAs the sun rose in your eyesYou shot a look that killed me
Can you work it out for yourself?I couldn't work it out for myself
Chorus:Keep it coming and I'll light the way homeKeep it coming and I'll light the way homeI'll be there to take your hurtEven if I come off worseKeep it coming and I'll light the way homeKeep it coming and I'll light the way homeI'll be there to take your hurtEven if I come off worse
I was lost for wordsLost inside your dream world
Can you work it out for yourself?I couldn't work it out for myself oh no
Chorus 2x

Let your world be wide openAnd your fears be blown apartMay your voice be louder than bombsSomewhere in silence find one to trust
Chorus:Lift your head upUntie the knotMy little sunshineHope is neven light-years away
Let your senses be ignitedBy streams of neon singing in the darkConnected to the planetA million neighboursA sea of stars
Chorus
Leaders, lovers come and goOutside forces you can't controlOh I see you smiling at the unknownOh I see you smiling at the unknown
Chorus 2x

My heart is a stoneYou don't want to go thereBut I don't mind if you try
If you should goI'll be a soldierBut I can't fight without you
And outside love moves onTo an imaginary worldWhere we both belongIn an imaginary world
My heart is a stoneYou don't want to go thereBut I don't mind if you try
We studied the coldYeah we made friends with itAnd it brought us backOur bodies intact
And no one knows how I love youNo one comes even closeAnd sunlight runs through my veins for you
And outside love moves onTo an imaginary worldWhere we both belongIn an imaginary world
And no one knows how I love youNo one comes even closeAnd sunlight runs through my veins for youAnd no one knows how I love you
And no one knows how I love youNo one comes even closeAnd sunlight runs through my veins for youAnd no one knows how I love you
I put my hands up'Cause this is so obviousThat look in your eyeOf an awkward goodbye

You'll always be my pretty dancerSpinning trails of fairy dustMaking moves like nobody elseOn your ownIf anybody needs a reason it's right here
Giving me shockwavesThose magical mistakesSending shockwaves through my atmosphereIf anybody needs a reason it's right here
If those eyelids were the shutter to my cameraMaybe I would see the world in different lightYou wear that smile like nobody elseOn your ownIf anybody needs a reason it's right here
Giving me shockwavesThose magical mistakesSending shockwaves through my atmosphereIf anybody needs a reason it's right here
Stay goldKeep your balance on the tightropeChasing afterMy pretty dancer
Giving me shockwavesThose magical mistakesSending shockwaves through my atmosphereIf anybody needs a reason it's right here
Giving me shockwavesThose magical mistakesSending shockwaves through my atmosphereIf anybody needs a reason it's right here

The world is too heavyToo big for my shouldersCome take the weight off me nowThousands of answersTo one simple questionCome take the weight off me now
Oh I'm like a kid who just wont let it goTwisting and turning the colours in rowsI'm so intent to find out what it isThis is my rubik's cubeI know I can figure it out
Lost in the playgroundLate night nostalgiaOpen the sky for me nowFriends round the fireOutside in decemberOpen the sky for me now
Oh I'm like a kid who just wont let it goTwisting and turning the colours in rowsI'm so intent to find out what it isThis is my rubik's cubeI know I can figure it out
Credits all overThe edge of horizonsThat I havent discovered yet
