[Chorus: Brandi Carlile, Elton John & Brandi Carlile]
Go on and swing for the fences
Take a shot at the moon
A dandelion that dances
Takes chances and fancies every little light in the room
[Verse 1: Brandi Carlile, Elton John & Brandi Carlile]
Don't hold your shoulders like a high school dance
A white flag holder in a hopeless romance
Red light kids crossing over the line
Breaking step with the times, driving cars through the signs
Be a heartbeat cannon in a quiet spot
A white picket fence in a parking lot
It's a long game and they're gonna tell you it's not
They're high-five dodgers
And, baby, they don't deserve you
[Refrain: Elton John & Brandi Carlile]
Beautiful you
They got nothing on you
Yeah, I'm talking to you
Get out of the blue
They got nothing on you
[Chorus: Brandi Carlile, Elton John & Brandi Carlile]
Go on and swing for the fences, oh, yeah
Take a shot at the moon
A dandelion that dances
Takes chances and fancies every little light in the room
[Verse 2: Elton John & Brandi Carlile]
Be a heartbeat cannon in a quiet spot
A white picket fence in a parking lot
It's a long game and they're gonna tell you it's not
They're high-five dodgers
And, baby, they don't deserve you
[Refrain: Elton John & Brandi Carlile]
Beautiful you
They got nothing on you
Yeah, I'm talking to you
Get out of the blue
They got nothing on you
[Outro]
Ah-ah-ah, ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah, ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah, ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah, ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah, ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah
