J.C. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

High as a satellite, flashing lights burning bright, like we're on the edge of the sun
Choking on puffs of smoke and fireballs, in the halls are faces I've never met but I like yours
I thought you came with a crew
I saw you here with your friends
So why you standing alone
You told me that you don't know where they went but your so happy I'm here
Now that you got me let's go
Vertigo

Hold on
Oh we're gonna ride this coaster all the way down
Let's see where we wake up tomorrow
I'll make sure you get home
I'll make sure you get home
Eyes like kaleidoscopes, twisted and colorful, like were in a hot air balloon
And I know I should be scared of falling but I don't care cause gravity don't exist here in this room
Got no control of my feet
Don't know if we stand a chance
I'll stay with you till it's over anyway
Want you to follow my lead
So put your hand in my hand
Now that I got you let's go
Vertigo
Hold on
Oh we're gonna ride this coaster all the way down
Let's see where we wake up tomorrow
I'll make sure you get home
I'll make sure you get home
Make sure you get
I won't let go of you
Look at the mess we've become
I wouldn't get this way with anyone else
Go to sleep holding you
Lost in the time cause the night is a blur
The night is a blur
The night is a blur
Vertigo
Hold on
Oh we're gonna ride this coaster all the way down
Let's see where we wake up tomorrow
I'll make sure you get home

I'll make sure you get home
I'll make sure you get high as a satellite, flashing lights burning bright, like we're on the edge of the sun
