Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What are we doin' alone? Time standing still
Just waitin' for this moment
What are we holding on for? Hesitating, both our hearts are open
Why would you wanna leave? Don't you feel secure?
Rest assured I got you covered
Got your back, let's take it forward
Go the distance, nothin' shorter
[Verse 2]
What are we here for?
What are we here for?
What are we here for?
[Verse 3]
Let's be an example right now
We don't wanna regret this
What are we here for?
Don't say, "Maybe later then" baby turn, it's too late
What are we here for?
[Verse 4]
What are we doin' alone, starin' up at the moon?
Oh while the night is waitin' Oh yeah
Do you wanna go? Do you wanna stay?
I see you contemplatin'
Why take a chance and drop the ball?
We got the world in our hands
If we touchin' the sky, why would we land?
So you don't have to question, no
[Verse 5]
What are we here for?
What are we here for?
Oh can you let me know?
What are we here for?
[Verse 6]
Let's be an example right now
We don't wanna regret this
What are we here for?
Don't say, "Maybe later then" baby turn, it's too late
What are we here for?
[Verse 7]
What are we doin' alone, starin' up at the moon?
Oh while the night is waitin' Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Do you wanna go? Do you wanna stay?
I see you contemplatin'
What are we here for?
What are we here for?
I just wanna know
What are we here for?
What are we here for?
[Verse 8]
Let's be an example right now
We don't wanna regret this
What are we here for?
Don't say, "Maybe later then" baby turn, it's too late
What are we here for?
