Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I was small, there was a fire
Burning my heart up
If they only know you're my desire
The world would put an end to us (Whatchu do, baby?)
[Verse 2]
I'll ride in the night on the back of your bike
With my hands, my hands to the sky
So fast, we could fly, let's leave it behind
So alive, I ain't scared anymore (Hands up)
[Verse 3]
Hand in hand, we run, hiding from the sun
Under your starlight
Till the break of day, my body should stay
Under your starlight
[Verse 4]
Oh, you wan' get away? Brace yourself, full throttle
Well gassed, just to get the brakes
Grip your waist, hear you shake like a figure 8
Lemme get a taste for infinity like the length of space
[Verse 5]
Tell the haters, get away or we'll fight here
I'ma have your hand probably for a lightyear
I got a lion pride, baby, get it quite clear
I'm a shot of top shelf stash, not a light beer
[Verse 6]
So, tell them buds, get wiser, wild up, burn brighter
'Cause me and you are solar
We make a big bang, shine like a supernova
Create a whole new world, influence culture
[Verse 7]
Yeah, I'm a king and you a queen
Tiana, Hakeem, they can call us Takeem
And the biggest power couple ever on the scene
And we reign supreme
[Verse 8]
Hand in hand, we run, hiding from the sun
Under your starlight
Till the break of day, my body should stay
Under your starlight
[Verse 9]
Under starlight
Let the light come down
Let's ride
Ride out right now
Fast life
And we won't slow down
Tonight
No, we won't slow down
[Verse 10]
Under starlight
Let the light come down
So bright
So bright like, ow
Fast life
Yeah, we won't slow down
Tonight
[Verse 11]
Run fast, don't look back, babe
(Starlight) Come here
The past out of our way
(Starlight) Yeah
[Verse 12]
Run fast, don't look back, babe
(Starlight) Yeah
The past out of our way
(Starlight)
[Verse 13]
Hand in hand, we run, hiding from the sun
Under your starlight
Till the break of day, my body should stay
Under your starlight
[Verse 14]
Under starlight
Let the light come down
Let's ride
Ride out right now
Fast life
And we won't slow down
Tonight
No, we won't slow down
[Verse 15]
Under starlight
Let the light come down
So bright
So bright like, ow
Fast life
Yeah, we won't slow down
Tonight
