[Verse 1]
Heaven only knows where you've been
But I don't really need to know
I know where you're gonna go, uh
On my heart, where you're resting your head
And you just look so beautiful
Just like you were an angel
[Pre-Chorus]
Can I stop the flow of time?
Can I swim in your divine?
'Cause I don't think I'd ever leave this place
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, turn the lights, turn the lights down low (Woo)
Yeah, now I'm feeling you breathing slow (Woo)
'Cause, baby, we're just reckless kids
Tryna find an island in the flood
Oh-oh, turn the lights, turn the lights down low, oh-ooh
[Verse 2]
Under hеavy skies in the rain
You're dancing in your barе feet
Just like we're in the movies (Woo)
Grab my hand and we're chasing the train
I catch you looking back at me
Running through a cloud of steam
[Pre-Chorus]
Can I stop the flow of time?
Can I swim in your divine?
'Cause I don't think I'd ever leave this place
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, turn the lights, turn the lights down low (Woo)
Yeah, now I'm feeling you breathing slow (Woo)
'Cause, baby, we're just reckless kids
Tryna find an island in the flood
Oh-oh, turn the lights, turn the lights down low, oh-ooh
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh-oh, oh-ooh, oh, oh (Now turn the lights down low)
Oh, oh-oh, oh-ooh, oh, oh
[Bridge]
And I will give you everything, baby
Can you feel this energy? Take it
You can have the best of me, baby (Woo)
And I will give you everything (Oh, oh-oh, oh-ooh, oh, oh)
Can you feel this energy? Take it (Oh, oh-oh, oh-ooh, oh, oh)
You can have the best of me, baby
[Post-Bridge]
Oh-oh, turn the lights turn the lights down low
Yeah, now I'm feeling you breathing slow, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, turn the lights, turn the lights down low (Woo)
Yeah, now I'm feeling you breathing slow (Woo, real slow, real slow)
'Cause, baby, we're just reckless kids
Tryna find an island in the flood
Oh-oh, turn the lights, turn the lights down low, oh-ooh
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh-oh, oh-ooh, oh, oh (Now turn the lights down low)
Oh, oh-oh, oh-ooh, oh, oh (Real slow, real slow)
Oh, oh-oh, oh-ooh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh-ooh, oh, oh
