Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Riding high
When I was your star, mm

Lightning strikes
Right at the heart, mm
Paradise calling
All I've ever wanted
Something to believe in (oh-oh, oh)
Something to believe in (ah, ah)
Both eyes wide open
So high, still falling
If you could only feel (oh-oh)
If you could only feel our love

Our love

Light us up
Open the door
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh
And we could find a way out the dark
This could be the spark
And you don't know the ways of the heart
This could be the start
Paradise calling
All I've ever wanted
Something to believe in (oh-oh, oh)
Something to believe in (ah, ah)
Both eyes wide open
I'm so high, still falling
If you could only feel (oh-oh, oh)
If you could only feel our love
We could find a way out the dark
The dark
You don't know the ways of the heart
The heart
We could find a way out the dark
The dark (dark)
You don't know the ways of the heart
This could be the start
Paradise calling
All I've ever wanted
Something to believe in (oh-oh, oh)
Something to believe in, our love
Both eyes wide open
I'm so high, still falling
If you could only feel (oh-oh, oh)
If you could only feel our love

Our love

Our love

Our love
