Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Soon as I get my head 'round you
I come around catchin' sparks off you
I get an electric charge from you
That secondhand livin', it just won't do
[Chorus]
And the way I feel tonight
Oh, I could die and I wouldn't mind
And there's somethin' goin' on inside
Makes you wanna feel, makes you wanna try
Makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky
I can't stand up, I can't cool down
I can't get my head off the ground
[Verse 2]
As soon as I get my head 'round you
I come around catchin' sparks off you
And all I ever got from you
Was all I ever took from you
[Chorus]
And the world could die in pain
And I wouldn't feel no shame
And there's nothin' holdin' me to blame
Makes you wanna feel, makes you wanna try
Makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky
And I'm takin' myself to the dirty part of town
Where all my troubles can't be found
[Chorus]
Makes you wanna feel, makes you wanna try
Makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky
And I can't stand up, I can't cool down
I can't get my head up off the ground
Makes you wanna feel, makes you wanna try
Makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky
And I can't stand up, I can't cool down
I can't get my head off the ground
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
I said, hey
Aww, hey
Yeah, hey
Aww, hey
[Outro]
Makes me wanna feel
Makes you wanna try
Makes me wanna feel
Makes you wanna try
Aww, hey
Aww, hey
Aww, hey
Hey
Yeah, yeah, yeah
