Die Tonight
Charli XCX Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, I could die tonight
'Cause I got the magic in my veins
And I'm goin' hard with all my friends
I could die tonight

Let's get it started, pool side of the party
Rolling Stones on my phone
Hangin' in yo' bedroom, feelin' like we're rock n' roll
End of the summer, I've been down with lovers
Laying under stars to shine
Hold up your bombs now
Don't you know that it's not time?

Oh, I could die tonight
'Cause I got the magic in my blood
And I'm staying 'til the sun comes up
Oh, I could die tonight
'Cause I got the magic in my veins
And I'm goin' hard with all my friends
I could die tonight

Back at the hotel, ringin' all the doorbells
Now we're feelin' so alive
Come to the top floor jumpin' like we're 'bout to fly
No one's leavin', 'bout to blow the ceilin'
When we turn it up to ten
Wake up in the mornin', gonna do it all again

Oh, I could die tonight
'Cause I got the magic in my blood
And I'm staying 'til the sun comes up
Oh, I could die tonight
'Cause I got the magic in my veins
And I'm goin' hard with all my friends
I could die tonight

Oh, I could die tonight
'Cause I got the magic in my blood
And I'm staying 'til the sun comes up
Oh, I could die tonight
'Cause I got the magic in my veins
And I'm goin' hard with all my friends
I could die tonight
(Na na na na na na na na)
(Na na na na na na na na)
(Na na na na na na na na)
(Na na na) I could die tonight
(Na na na na na na na na)
(Na na na na na na na na)




(Na na na na na na na na)
(Na na na) I could die tonight
