Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Dream me to life
Write our names in the pillow skies
We can meet in our minds
If our days count us out of time
[Pre-Chorus]
And we'll stay alive
In seas of city lights
Where you and I collide
[Chorus]
So let's go
Swimming in the stars tonight
Oh, and we'll glow
And shimmer in the diamond lights
We'll dive in
Head first, all the way down
In gravity's arms we'll drown
The world is ours
When we're swimming in the stars
When we're swimming in the stars
[Verse 2]
Keep me in reach
Hold your breath till we're in too deep
Where the sun's out of hеat
We're awake in thе deepest sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
And we'll stay alive
In shades of neon highs
Where you and I collide
[Chorus]
So let's go
Swimming in the stars tonight
Oh, and we'll glow
And shimmer in the diamond lights
We'll dive in
Head first, all the way down
In gravity's arms we'll drown
The world is ours
When we're swimming in the stars
When we're swimming in the stars
[Bridge]
What if we could float here forever?
In these Gemini dreams together
Let me take your breath right now
Promise that I'll never breathe out
[Chorus]
So let's go (Let's go)
Swimming in the stars tonight (In the stars tonight)
Oh, and we'll glow (We'll glow)
And shimmer in the diamond lights (Oh)
We'll dive in
Head first, all the way down
In gravity's arms we'll drown
The world is ours
When we're swimming in the stars (When we're swimming in the stars)
When we're swimming in the stars
[Outro]
Swimming in the stars tonight
Oh, and we'll glow
Swimming in the stars tonight
When we're swimming in the stars
