Line by Line Meaning
We shine when the lights go out
We're at our best when no one is watching
I wanna kiss you in the nightclub
I want to be close to you, in a public place, surrounded by others
Lips brush right across your mouth
Our lips touch each other softly, passionately
My heart is beating and it won't stop
I'm caught up in the moment, feeling intense emotions that won't subside
You, you got me feeling a second away
You have me so captivated that I feel like I could lose control at any moment
You make me feel like I wanna scream out
You make me feel so good that I want to express my excitement loudly
Ooh, we got this moment, don't let it slip away
We have a special opportunity right now, let's not waste it
So tell me, now I gotta find out
I need to know if you feel the same way and if you want to pursue this moment with me
Do you want to roll with me?
Do you want to have an adventure with me, to experience something exciting together
Do you want to roll with me? (say yeah!)
Are you feeling the same way I am, do you want to pursue this moment with enthusiasm
Do you want to roll with me? (do ya, do ya?)
Are you interested in joining me on this adventure, do you feel the same attraction and excitement that I do
Your touch got me off the ground
Your physical contact has lifted me up, given me a rush of adrenaline and emotion
It's like we're living in a daydream
This moment feels so surreal, like we're in a fantasy or a dreamlike state
Skyline's spinning 'round and 'round
We feel like we're moving through the world at a dizzying pace, everything is swirling around us
And then you tell me that you love me
You express your deep emotions to me, letting me know that you feel the same way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
An expression of enthusiasm and excitement

@Canal de Meteorologia No one asked for your opinion

@Canal de Meteorologia "if she can't why is she in* the music business" being in this line doesn't just mean you have to hit the highest notes possible to man. It's about being different and bringing something new, putting your own twist to things and expressing yourself through music. If you ask me, that's exactly why she's in this business. She may not be the best singer, that's nothing new to many Angels, but she has something different about her and she puts her own style into the songs she sings.
juju
she put her twist on it! nothing to hate about that
