Lyrics

We do it because we want to be loved,
We do what we do what we do,
We do it because, because we want to be loved,

Looking down at your phone,
Are you gonna make that call?
Cause she hit you like a bolt of lightning,
Are you gonna risk that fall?

Are you gonna get on that stage?
Are you gonna say that line?
Cause that applause,
Was the bolt of lightning,
That caused your soul to shine.

Stepping out on that tightrope,
Swaying left and right,
Keep your eyes straight ahead,
Soon you'll see the light.
