Lyrics & Translation

[English]
A dream like this not something you wish for
a dream like this not something you ask for
When it's a gift worth taking a chance for
Then this is something you dance for
This is something you dance for
There's a moment when you look to the side
Who will fall, who will survive
That's the moment when you find it inside
On the line, this is your time
And it's all I want
And it's all I do
A dream like this not something you wish for
A dream like this not something you ask for
When it's a gift worth taking a chance for
Then this is something you dance for
A dream like this not something you wish for
A dream like this not something you ask for
When it's a gift worth taking a chance for
Then this is something you dance for
Be-be-be my BFF 'cause IDK what's coming next
And I'll be LMHO with the rest
So TTYLXOX
Be-be-be my BFF 'cause IDK what's coming next
And I'll be LMHO with the rest
So TTYLXOX
Show up in the same dress
We don't know who wore it best
Let's not make a big deal
Act like it's a new trend
Look good when we go 'round here
Try on these boots I found
Miss, a boy who said you're sweet
He's got a best friend
Ooh-ooh-ooh we're in, we're always in
Be-be-be my BFF 'cause IDK what's coming next
And I'll be LMHO with the rest
So TTYLXOX
Be-be-be my BFF 'cause IDK what's coming next
And I'll be LMHO with the rest
So TTYLXOX, XOX
XOX
Be-be-be my BFF / A dream like this not something you wish for
'cause IDK what's coming next / a dream like this not something you ask for
And I'll be LMHO with the rest / When it's a gift worth taking a chance for
So TTYLXOX / Then this is something you dance for
Be-be-be my BFF / A dream like this not something you wish for
'cause IDK what's coming next / a dream like this not something you ask for
And I'll be LMHO with the rest / When it's a gift worth taking a chance for
