Adventure of a Lifetime
Kenzie Nimmo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Turn your magic on
To me she′d say
Everything you want's a dream away
We are legends every day
That′s what she told me
Turn your magic on,
To me she'd say
Everything you want's a dream away
Under this pressure, under this weight
We are diamonds
And I feel my heart beating
(Heart beats)
I feel my heart underneath my skin
I can feel my heart beating
Cause you make me feel
Like I′m alive again
(Alive, alive, alive)
Alive again
(Alive, alive, alive)
Cause you make me feel
(Alive, alive, alive)
Like I′m alive again
(Alive, alive, alive)
Said I can't go on,
Not in this way
I′m a dream that died by light of day
Gonna hold up half the sky and say
Only I own me
And I feel my heart beating
(Heart beats)
I feel my heart underneath my skin
I can feel my heart beating
'Cause you make me feel
Like I′m alive again
(Alive, alive, alive)
Alive again
(Alive, alive, alive)
Yeah, you make me feel
Like I'm alive again
(Alive, alive, alive)
And if we′ve only got this life
This adventure, oh, then I
If we've only got this life
You get me through
And if we've only got this life
In this adventure, oh, then I
Want to share it with you
With you
With you
Woohoo
Woohoo
Woohoo
With you
With you
Woohoo




Woohoo
Woohoo
