Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What goes underneath your armor
Underneath your clothes
Do you know?
Let's find out together
Let's find what we're looking for
We'll explore
[Verse 2]
Leave your house of mirrors
Hear me out
Fear no consequence
Forget your doubts
[Verse 3]
I don't know where the road leads
You don't know if I'll break your heart
We don't know how the winds will blow
And we won't know
We won't go
Unless we start
Ooh, start
[Verse 4]
Fall into the sea of possibility
And hope
We're letting go
Float away with me
Until we can't see any coast
That we know
[Verse 5]
Hold on tight
Until we become one
Find our island
Underneath the sun
[Verse 6]
I don't know where the road leads
You don't know if I'll break your heart
And we don't know how the winds will blow
And we won't know
We won't go
Unless we start
Ooh, start, yeah
[Verse 7]
All the love inside us
All you want to give
Only happens if we let it live
[Verse 8]
And I don't know where the road leads, ooh
You don't know if I'll break your heart
We don't know how the winds will blow
And we won't know
We won't go
Unless we start
Ooh, start, yeah
Unless we start
Let's start
Yeah
Unless we start
