Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We've been waitin' for this far too long
Ready to surrender what we've done
We'll be pushin' away that pain, pushin' away that poison
You say, "Love's a losing game," but you're only hearing that noise
And it's only 'cause we've been waiting for this far, far, far too long
[Verse 2]
Say, yeah, it's the way that we livin'
We've been holdin' it down, 'cause we are one in a million
Yeah, ain't no way we're givin' in
Love is stronger than bombs, we've been lost in the storm
They say we're never gonna make it, but we made it here
Where there's no gravity
We know we're not coming down, say
Yeah, it's the way that we livin'
We've been holdin' it down, 'cause we are one in a million
[Verse 3]
We've been fightin' for this far too long
Ready to set fire to what we've done
We'll be pushin' away that pain, pushin' away that poison
You say that we can change, look how the mighty have fallen
And it's only 'cause we've been fightin' for this far, far, far too long
[Verse 4]
Say, yeah, it's the way that we livin'
We've been holdin' it down, 'cause we are one in a million
Yeah, ain't no way we're givin' in
Love is stronger than bombs, we've been lost in the storm
They say we're never gonna make it, but we made it here
Where there's no gravity
We know we're not coming down, say
Yeah, it's the way that we livin'
We've been holdin' it down, 'cause we are one in a million
[Verse 5]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 6]
Say, yeah, it's the way that we livin'
We've been holdin' it down, 'cause we are one in a million
Yeah, ain't no way we're givin' in
Love is stronger than bombs, we've been lost in the storm
They say we're never gonna make it, but we made it here
Where there's no gravity
We know we're not coming down, say
Yeah, it's the way that we livin'
We've been holdin' it down, 'cause we are one in a million
[Verse 7]
Yeah, it's the way that we're livin'
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
We've been holdin' it down, 'cause we are one in a million
Yeah, ain't no way we're givin' in
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Love is stronger than bombs, we've been lost in the storm
They say we're never gonna make it, but we made it here
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Where there's no gravity
We know we're not coming down, say
Yeah, it's the way that we're livin'
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
We've been holdin' it down, 'cause we are one in a million
