SPARK
5.06 - Fitz and The Tantrums Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You think it's over now
You think we'll go away
But we keep climbing up
You can't keep us down

A temporary no
This shit is not for play
We're not your typical
That ain't what we're here for

It's time we light it up
Our match's to the grade
The tension's driving in
We ain't looking down

Watch how we take the throne
Drop like a cannonball
We take the lead, no
We're never gonna follow

Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Don't they know, the speaker is about to explode?
Don't they know, this building is about to blow?
This building is about to

Blow, oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Three years of digging holes
Been burning through our clothes
Yeah we keep on rising high
You can't touch us now

We give it every night
Our hearts are dynamite
We spit that fire
So you better listen up

Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Don't they know, the speaker is about to explode?
Don't they know, this building is about to blow?

Don't they know, the speaker is about to explode?
Don't they know, this building is about to blow?
This building is about to

Blow

Bang bang here we go
Everything's about to blow (oh oh, oh oh)

Our moment's going up
Blast it up and lift it up
Sky high sky high
Here we go 'bout to fly

Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Don't they know, the speaker is about to explode?
Don't they know, this building is about to blow?

Don't they know, the speaker is about to explode?
Don't they know, this building is about to blow?
This building is about to





Blow, oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

TheFameMobster

You'll be able to buy it when their new album is released on May 7th ;) I highly recommend giving their other songs a listen. They're a great band!

Ramma

They dont make fifa's like this anymore

TheVlogger110

@First name Last name EXACTLY! I actually still play FIFA 13 because of songs like these and the quality is really different and my favourite team was in League one (3rd English Division). How times have changed.

First name Last name

FIFA still have good songs but they don't even compete with ones such as this

libville

Great song. I love how they changed up the music and still have that magic to create great music. I must say the Noelle Scaggs' voice is just so rich that she makes every song 5 times better than it would be without her.

Alessandra Roberta

Conheci a música através do Fifa 2013, e adorei, mas fiquei decepcionada por não ter clipe. :(

Iury Cliff

Estou em 2019, relembrando essa música na época que jogava Fifa 13. Mas deu uma nostalgia de leve também.

Alessandra Roberta
