Now That I've Found You – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Flashback to the time in your life

When you thought it would be easy

But it's hard when you take on the world alone

The one shot that you fire at the sky

Hoping someone else can see it

Just a sign that you're not out there on your own

We come one tonight

I've been waiting for your wake-up call

Growing stronger now

I can hear it in a thunderstorm

We sing, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I don't want to do this without you

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I won't let go now that I've found you

Now that I've found you

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I won't let go now that I've found you

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I won't let go now that I've found you

Now that I've found you

Some say you can never go back

To the city built for dreamers

But I know we can find it on our own

The one shot that we fire at the sky

But this time we are together

Right here in this moment where we belong

We come one tonight

I've been waiting for your wake-up call

Growing stronger now

I can hear it in a thunderstorm

We sing, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I don't want to do this without you

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I won't let go now that I've found you

Now that I've found you

Now that I've found you

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I won't let go now that I've found you

Now that I've found you
