[Verse 1]
I had a dream, or was it real?
We crossed the line and it was on, we crossed the line
It was on this time
I've been denying how I feel
You've been denying what you want, you want from me
Talk to me, baby
[Pre-Chorus]
I want some satisfaction, take me to the stars (Hey)
Just like ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
[Chorus]
I wanna cut through the clouds, break the ceiling
I wanna dance on the roof, you and me alone
I wanna cut to the feeling, oh yeah
I wanna cut to the feeling, oh yeah (Woo)
I wanna play where you play with the angels
I wanna wake up with you all in tangles, oh
I wanna cut to the feeling, oh yeah
I wanna cut to the feeling, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
Cancel your reservations
No more hesitations, this is on, can't make it stop
Give me all you got
I want it all or nothing
No more in-between, now give your everything to me
Let's get real, baby
[Pre-Chorus]
A chemical reaction, take me in your arms (Hey)
And make me ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
[Chorus]
I wanna cut through the clouds, break the ceiling
I wanna dance on the roof, you and me alone
I wanna cut to the feeling, oh yeah
I wanna cut to the feeling, oh yeah (Woo)
I wanna play where you play with the angels
I wanna wake up with you all in tangles, oh
I wanna cut to the feeling, oh yeah
I wanna cut to the feeling, oh yeah (Yeah, yeah)
[Bridge]
(Hey, woo)
(C'mon) Take me to emotion (Hey)
I want to go all the way (All the way)
Show me devotion and take me all the way
Take me to emotion (Take me, take me)
I want to go all the way
Show me devotion (Take me, take me)
And take me all the way (Take me, take me)
All the way, all the way, all the way
Take me all the way (Ah-ah-ah)
[Chorus]
I wanna cut through the clouds, break the ceiling
I wanna dance on the roof, you and me alone
I wanna cut to the feeling (Oh), oh yeah
I wanna cut to the feeling (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah), oh yeah (Woo)
I wanna play where you play with the angels
I wanna wake up with you all in tangles (Yeah), oh
I wanna cut to the feeling, oh yeah
I wanna cut to the feeling, oh yeah
[Outro]
I wanna cut through the clouds
Mmm, cut to the feeling
I wanna dance on the roof, oh-oh-oh, yeah
I wanna cut to the feeling, I wanna cut to the feeling
I wanna cut to the feeling, I wanna cut to the feeling
