Stealing my heart and brain
Flaming my every cell
You make me feel myself

Will you stay on this land forever?

The chorus brings a sense of longing and desire. The repetitive "oh-oh-oh" creates a catchy, almost hypnotic feel. It emphasizes the wish to hold onto this intense moment.

Verse 2

Across the time and space
A never-ending dance
A blooming and a trance
You make me feel my soul

Chorus

There's no more loneliness
Only sparkles and sweat
There's no more single fate
You make me feel myself

Bridge

My body is like a lightning rod
Capsize me and douse me in your bay
A shiver of want, always
When you're on the tip of my tongue

Outro

And in the back of your parked car
I could build a fort
And play all day
Between your lips and mine
Let's stay here forever
