[Verse 1]
Laying on our backs in the tall grass
Staring at the midnight, all black
Trying to count the holes in the atmosphere
Underneath your sapphire necklace
I can hear your heartbeat, restless
We could take off right now and disappear
[Pre-Chorus]
There's a wild desire
In your eyes
[Chorus]
So hey, what you say? Let your hair down
Gon' pick you up, get you out of this town
Singing ooh-ooh-ooh, you-ooh-ooh
Strap on your wings, I'll grab my guitar
Let's take it high, get you up in them stars
Singing ooh-ooh-ooh, me and you-ooh-ooh
Like a rocket
[Verse 2]
Strike a match and girl, let's light up
Leave a trail of smoke behind us
Wanna steal your heart, wanna blow your mind
[Pre-Chorus]
So hold on now
Let's burn it out
[Chorus]
So hey, what you say? Let your hair down
Gon' pick you up, get you out of this town
Singing ooh-ooh-ooh, you-ooh-ooh
Strap on your wings, I'll grab my guitar
Let's take it high, get you up in them stars
Singing ooh-ooh-ooh, me and you-ooh-ooh
Like a rocket
[Pre-Chorus]
There's a wild desire
In your eyes
Gonna take this night
And make you mine
[Chorus]
So hey, what you say? Let your hair down
Gon' pick you up, get you out of this town
Ooh-ooh-ooh, you-ooh-ooh
Strap on your wings, I'll grab my guitar
Let's take it high, get you up in them stars
Singing ooh-ooh-ooh, me and you-ooh-ooh
Like a rocket
Yeah, baby, like a rocket
[Outro]
Laying on our backs in the tall grass
Staring at the midnight, all black
Trying to count the holes in the atmosphere
