Hela, hela, headlights

Hela, hela, headlights

Hela, hela, headlights

Oh, oh, I'm gonna use every heartbeat

Oh, oh, today not tomorrow

Oh, oh, I'm diving in so deep

Oh, oh, far from the shallows

Baby, I'm all about headlights

Blinded by, blinded by the headlights

Running in, running in the headlights

Light me up, light me up, headlights

Baby, I'm all about headlights

Blinded by, blinded by the headlights

Running in, running in the headlights

Light me up, light me up, headlights

Baby, I'm all about headlights

Oh, oh, I got a taste of the good life

Whoa-oh, I'll never let it go

A wild cat, gotta use all my nine lives

Whoa-oh, I'm gonna do it all

And oh, I'm tipping on the edge

And oh, I don't wanna be saved

And oh, don't you pull the breaks

And oh, just take me all the way

Baby, I'm all about headlights

Blinded by, blinded by the headlights

Running in, running in the headlights

Light me up, light me up, headlights

Baby, I'm all about headlights

Blinded by, blinded by the headlights

Running in, running in the headlights

Light me up, light me up, headlights

Baby, I'm all about headlights

Hela, hela, headlights

Hela, hela, headlights

Hela, hela, headlights

Baby, I'm all about headlights

Hela, hela, headlights

Hela, hela, headlights

Hela, hela, headlights

Oh, oh, I got a taste of the good life

Whoa-oh, I'll never let it go
