Lyrics & Translation

[English]

It's the boy you never told "I like you"

It's the girl you let get away

It's the one you saw that day on the train

But you freaked out and walked away

It's the plane you wanna catch to Vegas

Things you swear you'll do before you die

It's the city of love that waits for you

But you're too damn scared to fly

Hit the lights

Let the music move you

Lose yourself tonight

Come alive

Let the moment take you

Lose control tonight

Hit the lights

Let the music move you

Lose yourself tonight

Come alive

Let the moment take you

Lose control tonight

It's the time that you totally screwed up

Still you're tryna get it out your brain

It's the fight you had when you didn't make up

It's the past that you're dying to change

It's all the money that you're saving

While the good life passes by

It's all the dreams that never came true

'Cause you're too damn scared to try

Hit the lights

Let the music move you

Lose yourself tonight

Come alive

Let the moment take you

Lose control tonight

Hit the lights

Let the music move you

Lose yourself tonight

Come alive

Let the moment take you

Lose control tonight

It's a mad, mad world, gotta make an escape

It's a perfect world when you go all the way

Hit the lights

Let the music move you

Lose yourself tonight

So let's go, go, go, go all the way

Yeah, let's go, go, go night and day

From the floor to the rafters

People, raise your glasses

We could dance forever

...

Hit the lights

Let the music move you

Lose yourself tonight (lose yourself tonight)

Come alive

Let the moment take you

Lose control tonight

It's a mad, mad world, gotta make an escape

It's a perfect world when you go all the way

Hit the lights

Let the music move you

Lose yourself tonight
