Because you always do that something,
Something I'm not quite sure of,
But just for today,
Let go and slide away,
Cause I read you mind,
I read it because it takes me where I can't find,
Because you always do that something,
Something I'm not quite sure of,
But just for today,
Let go and burn away,
I was thinking maybe we could go outside,
Let the night sky cool you foolish pride,
Don't you feel alive?
These are our times and your highs,
Slide away, burn away,
Slide away, burn away,
I read you mind, read your mind,
Because it takes me where I can find,
I read your mind, read your mind, ohh
I was thinking maybe we could go outside,
Let the night sky cool you foolish pride,
Don't you feel alive?
These are our times and our highs,
Baby maybe we could go outside,
Let the night sky cool your foolish pride,
Open up, you feel alive,
These are your times and my highs.
