Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He says
"Have no fear
Open up
Let me in"
He says
"Take a chance
Here's your song
Time to dance"
[PreChorus]
What you gonna do when it comes for you?
Listen to your heart
[Chorus]
Oh
You gotta listen to your heart
Listen to your heart
Oh
Why don't you listen to your heart?
[Verse 2]
He says
"Here's your sky
Don't look down
We can fly"
You said
You're a little bit scared
Just hold on
We're almost there
[PreChorus]
What you gonna do when it comes for you?
Listen to your heart
[Chorus]
Oh
You gotta listen to your heart
Listen to your heart
Oh
Why don't you listen to your heart?
[Bridge]
You never know until you try
Why so scared when hearts don't lie?
Turn off the world and close your eyes
Lose yourself
[Chorus]
And listen to your heart
Oh
Why don't you listen to your heart?
Listen to your heart
Oh
Why don't you listen to your heart?
Hey
[Outro]
Yeah, you know what to do when it comes for you
Hey
Hey, yeah
Yeah
You gotta listen, baby
Gotta listen, baby
Gotta listen, baby
Gotta listen, baby
Uh-huh, huh
Gotta listen to it
Oh, can't you hear it?
Gotta listen, baby
Mhmm
