Don't Look Down – English Lyrics

• By: Martin Garrix, Usher

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Is your head spinning?

Is your heart racing?

Is there fire in your veins?

Are your bones burning?

Is your skin yearning?

'Cause you're driving me insane

I kind of feel like I feel like I saw the light

You got me way up a thousand miles

Can we stay right here in this atmosphere?

Like we're flying in outer space

Don't look down

Up this high we'll never hit the ground

Don't look down

See that sky, we're gonna reach it now

Do you feel the lightning inside of you?

Will you follow through if I fall for you?

Don't look down

Up this high, we'll never hit the ground

...

...

Are your hands shaking?

Are your fears breaking?

Are you climbing over walls?

Are the times changing?

Is the noise fading?

'Cause I want to get it on

Oh, I kind of feel like I feel like I saw the light

You got me way up a thousand miles

Can we stay right here in this atmosphere?

Or are you afraid to fall?

Don't look down

Up this high we'll never hit the ground

Don't look down

See that sky, we're gonna reach it now

Do you feel the lightning inside of you?

Will you follow through if I fall for you?

Don't look down

Up this high, we'll never hit the ground

...

Don't look down

...

Do you feel the lightning inside of you?

Will you follow through if I fall for you?

Don't look down

Up this high, we'll never hit the ground

...
