Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Have you ever felt so strong that it made you feel weak?
Long days, long nights, and you just can't sleep
Have you ever been so sure that it gave you cold feet?
That you felt on edge, you can feel your heart beat?
[Chorus]
Well, I never knew this feeling, never
Now I hope it stays and lasts forever
I'm running, I don't wanna come down
Hope my wings don't fail me now
If I can touch the sky, I'd risk the fall
Just to know how it feels to fly
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Have you ever felt so lost, but didn't know till your were found?
Looking everywhere, but you finally see now
In a room full of people, feel like no one's around
Got your head in the clouds, and your feet are off the ground
[Chorus]
Say, I never knew this feeling, never
Now I hope it stays and lasts forever
Forever
I'm running, I don't wanna come down
Hope my wings don't fail me now
If I can touch the sky, I'd risk the fall
Just to know how it feels to fly
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
We get to go
Forever
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Higher
High
Higher
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Fly high
[Chorus]
I'm running, I don't wanna come down
Hope my wings don't fail me now
If I can touch the sky, I'd risk the fall
Just to know how it feels to fly
I'm running, I don't wanna come down
Hope my wings don't fail me now
If I can touch the sky, I'd risk the fall
Just to know how it feels to fly
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Forever
