[Verse 1]
Birds beware, expect me up there
Me and air are feeling light today
Jets should hide, I'll fly alongside
Me and pride are bolted tight today
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been set off by a pretty little girl
[Chorus]
Like a rocket from a bottle shot free
I've been just explosive since you lit me
I've been up with the larks, I've been shooting off sparks
And I'm feeling in love
[Verse 2]
Hate step back, my smile might just crack
Can't stop grins from going wide today
Hell, look sharp
Angels, play your harp
I feel strong like the tide today
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been set off by a pretty little girl
[Chorus]
Like a rocket from a bottle shot free
I've been just explosive since you lit me
I've been up with the larks, I've been shooting off sparks
And I'm feeling in love
I'm like a rocket from a bottle shot free
I've been just explosive since you kissed me
I've been up in the clouds, I've been shrugging off shrouds
And I'm feeling in love
[Instrumental break]
[Chorus]
I'm like a rocket from a bottle shot free
I've been just explosive since you lit me
I've been up with the larks, I've been shooting off sparks
And I'm feeling in love
I'm like a rocket from a bottle shot free
I've been just explosive since you kissed me
I've been up in the clouds, I've been shrugging off shrouds
And I'm feeling in love
I'm like a rocket from a bottle shot free
I've been just explosive since you lit me
I've been up with the larks, I've been shooting off sparks
And I'm feeling in love
