Torches
DJ Antoine Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me your wildest dream
Don’t you hold back a thing
The future’s calling tonight
So don’t you hold your breath
At night you won’t forget
We’ve never felt so bright

I’m chasing lights

Running after you
Shoot out the stars
Meet me on the moon

Raise them high
We’re torches in the sky
Honey you and I
We can burn forever
So tonight keep running
For our lives
Leave the world behind
We can go together
Ooh, yeah, we’re torches
Ooh, yeah, we’re torches

I’m tearing at the seems
Soak me in gasoline
And spark me up inside
I’ll be your Babylon
So won’t you take me on
Paint me across your skies

I’m chasing lights
Running after you
Shoot out the stars
Meet me on the moon

Raise them high
We’re torches in the sky
Honey you and I
We can burn forever
So tonight we’re running
For our lives
Leave the world behind
We can go together

Yah we’re on our way down
Ain’t no turning back now
Shining in the black out
Is all we know
Raise them high
We’re torches in the sky
Honey you and I
We can burn forever

Ooh, yeah, we’re torches
Ooh, yeah, we’re torches
