Elevate
Gorgon City Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I, I feel electric, feel it coming on
It's what we do
I, I've been waiting just to sing a song
Just to keep, keep it rising with the sun
Keep it rising
Make me feel like number one
Come and fight it
You got me feeling like I'm in a cloud
We were meant to stand out from the crowd
And you know we're never coming down, down, down, down
Elevate, vate
Elevate, vate
I, I've been holding on to us all night (me and you)
Move, move your body like it's supposed to, supposed to
No you seen fighting we have won, reunited
If we're not bringing no love, what we bringin'?
You got me feeling like I'm in a cloud
We were meant to stand out from the crowd
And you know we're never coming down, down, down, down
Elevate, vate
Elevate, vate
Elevate, vate
Elevate, vate
Keep it rising
Keep it rising
Keep it rising
Keep it rising
Elevate, vate
Elevate, vate
Keep it rising
Keep it rising
