If it takes control of your body and soul
Embrace it
If it makes you cry or leaves you wondering why
Don't turn around, face it

But do turn cold
If they promise you gold...for the price of silver
If it's chemically made by people you hate
Pinch yourself to make sure you're still awake

Everything you want is what I've got to give you
You just have to let yourself come with me now
Everything you want is what I've got to give you
There's no time to hesitate, come with me now
Let's go and watch the sun rise

Let your heart
Run along to the rhythm of your song
Run along to the rhythm of your song

Run along to the rhythm of your song
Run along to the rhythm of your song
Run along to the rhythm of your song
Run along

Everything you want is what I've got to give you
You just have to let yourself come with me now
Everything you want is what I've got to give you
There's no time to hesitate, come with me now
Everything you want is what I've got to give you
You just have to let yourself come with me now
Everything you want is what I've got to give you
There's no time to hesitate, come with me now
Let's go and watch the sunrise
