[Verse 1]
In outer space, love
It’s where we revive
Away from all the people
Away from all the street noise
Illuminating
We keep escaping
Flying through waterfalls
[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause you’re lighting me up like fire
You’re lighting me up
You’re lighting me up like fire
You’re lighting me up
Yeah, you’re lighting me up like fire
Lighting, lighting me up
You’re lighting me up like fire
You’re lighting me up
[Chorus 1]
Oh no, ’cause I don’t wanna go home yet
I don’t wanna go home yet
I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna go
I don’t wanna feel regret
I don’t wanna go home yet
You’re the lighter to my cigarette
I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna go
I don’t wanna go home yet
[Verse 2]
Too young and too bold
Smoking our lungs old
Running from the crowd
Chasing heavy clouds
We were our own kind
Closed eyes, open minds
'Til our bodies overload
[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause you’re lighting me up like fire
You’re lighting me up
You’re lighting me up like fire
You’re lighting me up
Yeah, you’re lighting me up like fire
Lighting, lighting me up
You’re lighting me up like fire
You’re lighting me up
[Chorus 2]
Oh no, ’cause I don’t wanna go home yet
I don’t wanna go home yet
I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna go
I don’t wanna feel regret
I don’t wanna go home yet
You’re the lighter to my cigarette
Body overload, I don’t wanna go
I don’t wanna go home yet
[Bridge]
We’re chasing an image created simply just for us
So come on, let’s get out
Let’s go find new places untouched
In you I place every single drop left of my trust
So come out with me and let’s go find new places
Let’s go find new places to love
[Chorus 3]
Oh no, ’cause I don’t wanna go home yet
We’re chasing an image created for us
I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna go
I don’t wanna feel regret
I don’t wanna go home yet
You are the lighter to my cigarette
Body overload, I don’t wanna go
So come out with me and let’s go find
I don’t wanna go home yet
I don’t wanna go home yet
I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna go
I don’t wanna feel regret
[Outro]
I don’t wanna go home yet
You’re the lighter to my cigarette
I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna go
I don’t wanna go home yet
