Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

Take off all of your skin, I'm brave when you are free
Shake off all of your sins and give 'em to me
Close up, let me back in
I wanna be yours, wanna be your hero
And my heart beats
Like the empires of the world unite, we are alive
And the stars make love to the universe
You're my wildfire every single night, we are alive
And the stars make love to the universe
And you touch me
And I'm like, and I'm like
And I'm like (whoo, whoo)
And I'm like (whoo, whoo)
And I'm like (whoo, whoo)
And I'm like (whoo)
I will follow you down wherever you go
I am, baby, I'm bound to you and do you know?
Closer, pull me in tight
I wanna be yours, wanna be your hero
And my heart beats
Like the empires of the world unite, we are alive
And the stars make love to the universe
You're my wildfire every single night, we are alive
And the stars make love to the universe
And you touch me
And I'm like, and I'm like
And I'm like (whoo, whoo)
We are alive (whoo, whoo)
And I'm like (whoo, whoo)
We are alive (whoo)
I'm just gonna raise my head
Welcome to the final edge
And I'm gonna fall
(And the stars make love to the universe)
I'm just gonna raise my head
And hold you close
Like the empires of the world unite, we are alive
And the stars make love to the universe
You're my wildfire every single night, we are alive
And the stars make love to the universe
And you touch me
And I'm like, and I'm like
And I'm like (whoo, whoo)
And I'm like (whoo, whoo)
And I'm like (whoo, whoo)
And I'm like (whoo)
