[English]

Got the top down, can't stop now

Let's burn down a one-way highway

We both know where it goes

And I love it when you're here beside me

Just you and I, life's rushing by

Baby, we're alive

Let's hit a high

Let's light up the sky

Let's burn like a fire, oh-oh

Let's hit a home run

I love when you come

Let's get the job done, oh-oh

Take my hand and don't say a word

Let the universe do all the work

And kiss me like it's the last night on Earth

...

Don't look back, been and done that

Let's go where they'll never find us

No one needs to know

Where we're gonna go

Gonna leave it all, all behind us

Just you and I, life's rushing by

Baby, we're alive

Let's hit a high

Let's light up the sky

Let's burn like a fire, oh-oh

Let's hit a home run

I love when you come

Let's get the job done, oh-oh

Take my hand and don't say a word

Let the universe do all the work

And kiss me like it's the last night on Earth, yeah

...

Light up the sky

Let's burn like a fire, yeah

Let's hit a high

Let's light up the sky

Let's burn like a fire, oh-oh

Let's hit a home run

I love when you come

Let's get the job done, oh-oh

Take my hand and don't say a word

Let the universe do all the work

And kiss me like it's the last night on Earth

...

Light up the sky

Let's burn like a fire, yeah

Come on
