[English]

What's your story? What's your sign?

It's like we're twin flames in a different life

Deep connection lights a spark

It's like you know me in the depths of my heart

We're dreamers (don't care what other people say)

We're living (like this could be our final day)

We're dreamers (don't care what the others say)

We're doing this in our own way

We come alive in the nighttime

It's something about how we dance

In the moonlight, that look in your eyes

It tells me that you want me and all my lovin'

We come alive in the nighttime

You and I, we come alive

We come alive

We come alive

What's your weakness? What's your type?

Somehow I wanna know all about you

Deep connection lights a spark

Like you already know me when we dance in the dark

We're dreamers (don't care what other people say)

We're living (like this could be our final day)

We're dreamers (don't care what the others say)

We're doing this in our own way

We come alive in the nighttime

It's something about how we dance

In the moonlight, that look in your eyes

It tells me that you want me and all my lovin'

We come alive in the nighttime

You and I, we come alive

Oh-oh, we come alive

Mm, we come alive

Oh-oh, we come alive (mm)

Tell me that you want me

I can see you want me by the look in your eyes

Tell me that you want me

I can see you want me by the look in your eyes

We come alive (mm-mm)

We come alive

We come alive in the nighttime

It's something about how we dance

In the moonlight, that look in your eyes

It tells me that you want me and all my loving

We come alive in the nighttime

You and I, we come alive

Oh-oh-oh, we come alive, hey

We come alive (oh-oh, oh-oh)

We come alive (mm)

We come alive
