I'm caving
Feeling the bite 'cause you're not leaving
Put it to right, ride of my life, I'm healing
Kissing the knife, falling
Destiny
Destiny
I've seen a lot, I've seen it all
I hit the lotto when I found you
You
I've seen a lot with you on top
I hit the lotto when I found you
You
I got this feeling
The prize belongs to me
Don't I hit the ceiling?
These lights can only mean…
Destiny
Destiny
It's never all that deep
Unleash the rain!
It was cynical of me
To stay out of the chase
Now I'll stay in the right place
I'm just saying it might be
Destiny
Destiny…
I've seen a lot, I've seen it all
I hit the lotto when I found you
You
I've seen a lot with you on top
I hit the lotto when I found you
You
I got this feeling
The prize belongs to me
Don't I hit the ceiling?
These lights can only mean…
Destiny
Destiny
Who cares what I've lost?
I know the cure and the cause
I got cut from your sharp
But I'm still unmarked
And who cares what you've done
With a body like God
I got cut by your sharp
But I'm still unmarked
