作曲 : Tyree Hawkins/Nathan Butts

Never thought I had enough

Don't know what you gave me

I know there's a calm in the storm

'Cause I found it in your safety

Safety, safety

Safety, oh

...

Now I don't wanna come down from the stars

Took a lot to get up where we are

When I'm in your arms, I'm good if you take the lead

'Cause I'm right where I'm meant to be

And there's no need to

...

Rush tonight, rush tonight

Take me to heaven when you touch me right

Keep it going till we see the light

We ain't leaving till the sunrise, rise, rise

We ain't leaving till the sunrise, rise, rise

We ain't even gotta rush tonight, rush tonight (No, no)

Take me to heaven when you touch me right

Keep it going till we see the light

We ain't leaving till the sunrise, rise, rise

We ain't leaving till the sunrise, rise, rise

...

You wanna go there, then let's go there

Don't hold back, I got no fear

Feel like you're singing to me now when I'm all ears

Put the rhythm on me now till the morning

And all I ask is don't go too fast

Savour it

'Cause there's no need to

...

Rush tonight, rush tonight

Take me to heaven when you touch me right

Keep it going till we see the light

We ain't leaving till the sunrise, rise, rise

We ain't leaving till the sunrise, rise, rise

We ain't even gotta rush tonight, rush tonight

Take me to heaven when you touch me right

Keep it going till we see the light

We ain't leaving till the sunrise, rise, rise

We ain't leaving till the sunrise, rise rise

...

We ain't even gotta rush the night
