Lyrics & Translation
When our hearts beat as one
I won't mind, in a place so unknown
Reaching for the moon and the endless sky
La-la-lai, la-la-lai
Will I find you there?
I feel so lost when you shut me out
I wanna know who you are, I wanna know it all
When life comes crashing down
There's no way to ignore it
You're cut off from the world
You thought you belonged to
But close your eyes and let it go
The illusion you haven't found
No one else can decide
The words you hold in your heart
So line up, the party's happening now
Everyone's welcome, come jump in the fire
Step up, we can be whatever we want
We are free, it's all we desire
When you break through the fantasy
There's a world that moves just for you and me
La-la-lai, la-la-lai
How can I find my love?
Lost in time, the stars hold the key for me
Across the endless galaxy, forever we'll roam
La-la-lai, la-la-lai
I will follow the signs, I know it's true
When I reach the end, it's you I'll see
We can't waste a moment, now or never is the time
Nature's relentless force
The face of what's to come
It feels like fate has never been on our side
But as I stand here in the storm
I want you right here beside me
You're all I need to fly into a perfect sky
Stand up, the party's happening now
Everyone's welcome, come jump in the fire
Keep up, let go of all your fears
Stand strong and proud, we'll never tire
Line up, the party's right over here
Everyone's welcome, let's follow the north star
Step in, you can be whatever you want
You are free, just like everyone here
Dance away a world you never loved from the start
It's our ride to the future, are you ready to go far?
La-la-lai, la-la-lai
When our hearts beat as one
I won't mind, in a place so unknown
Reaching for the moon and the endless sky
La-la-lai, la-la-lai
Will I find you there?
I feel so lost when you shut me out
I wanna know who you are, I wanna know it all
Maybe it's a dream, I don't want to wake
Even if the light comes on, I don't want reality
We didn't waste a moment, now or never is the time

Key Grammar Structures
-
When our heartbeats collide, I won't mind, in a place we've never been before
➔ Subjunctive Mood (in the 'mind' clause), Relative Clause ('we've never been before')
➔ The phrase "I won't mind" implies a hypothetical situation, making the subjunctive mood applicable. "we've never been before" is a relative clause modifying the noun 'place'.
-
Though I feel left behind sometimes when you close the door, I wanna know who you are, I wanna know it all
➔ Subordinate Clause of Concession ('Though I feel left behind'), Embedded Question ('who you are')
➔ "Though I feel left behind..." shows a contrasting idea. "who you are" functions as the object of the verb "know" and is presented in statement order, not question order.
-
You're disconnected from the world you thought you were part of.
➔ Relative Clause (defining 'world', with omitted relative pronoun), Passive Voice ('disconnected')
➔ The relative pronoun (that/which) is omitted but implied. 'Disconnected' uses the past participle form of the verb to show that the subject is receiving the action.
-
But if you close your eyes and let go of the mirage you haven't met, nobody else decides the words you see in your heart
➔ Conditional Sentence (Type 1 - Possible condition), Implied Subject (in the second part of the sentence)
➔ This is a type 1 conditional indicating a realistic possibility. The implied subject is "nobody else".
-
When you pass through the veil of fantasy, There's a world with a rhythm for you and me
➔ Simple Present Tense (for general truths/likely events), Existential 'There is/are'
➔ The simple present shows a general occurrence when passing through the veil. "There's" introduces the existence of a world.
-
All the way across the galaxy, go on forever
➔ Imperative Mood (Go on), Adverbial Phrase (All the way across the galaxy)
➔ "Go on" is a command. "All the way across the galaxy" modifies the verb and explains direction.
-
I will follow the signs 'cause I know when I reach the end, it's you I'll see
➔ Future Tense (I will follow), Subordinate Clause (of reason: 'cause I know...), Cleft Sentence (It's you I'll see)
➔ "I will follow" describes a future action. "'Cause I know..." provides the reason. The cleft sentence emphasizes 'you'.
-
Sometimes I know it feels like fate is never on our side
➔ Impersonal 'it' (It feels like), Negative Adverb ('never')
➔ "It" doesn't refer to a specific subject but conveys a general feeling. "Never" negates the idea of fate being on our side.
-
Even if a light goes up, I don't wanna know reality
➔ Conditional Clause (introduced by 'Even if'), Contraction (don't)
➔ 'Even if' introduces a hypothetical situation that contrasts with the main clause. 'Don't' is a contraction of 'do not'.
