作曲 : Zara Larsson/PinkPantheress/Helena Gao/Uzoechi Emenike/Margo Wildman

No nightmares when you can still see the light

Can't find me, I'm not in the city tonight

I like your playlist, boy, turn it up a little louder

Road's empty, so you drive a little faster

Ain't taken nothing tonight, but I'm feeling so high

...

Show my tan lines, low-rise, rooftop down

It's golden hour all the time

...

It's the midnight sun-kissed skin under the red sky

Layin' on your chest like this

Hold me like the pebbles in your hand, initials in the sand, yeah

Summer isn't over yet

Skinny-dipping with your heart out, it's my favorite part now

We ain't gotta tell no one

A never-ending midnight sun

...

A never-ending midnight sun

...

There's no darkness when you can still feel the light

And I'm on something tonight, so I'm feeling so high

...

I've travelled here and I've travelled there

I took a flight, I'm in Delaware

Someone told me about Mexico City

On the beach and they're staring at me

Get me further to Paraguay

Tell me what you might do tonight

Suddenly, a midnight sun has entered your eyes

...

And skinny-dipping with your heart out, it's my favorite part now

We ain't gotta tell no one

A never-ending midnight sun

...

A never-ending midnight sun

A never-ending midnight sun

...

Feeling so high, feel-feeling so high

Feel-feeling so high, feel-feeling so high

Feel-feeling so high, feel-feeling so high

Feel-feeling so high

Feel-feeling so high, feel-feeling so high

Feel-feeling so high, feel-feeling so high

A never-ending midnight sun
