There's something in the way you walk
Everyone can see but
You don't know

How you make me feel girl
I'm chasing daylight

To get you by my side

I need to know
What can I do?
Hey you
Do you know you got me going out of my mind
Your love makes me blind
Hey you
I wanna make it up to you if fake it right
You love me tonight

Hey you (you you you)
Hey you (you you you)
So if you want me girl
I wanna hear you say
You (you you you)

What's on your mind
I wanna know if
You and I
Could become one
We're chasing daylight
Running them red lights

We both know
So let's run away
Hey you
Do you know you got me going
Out of my mind
Your love makes me blind

Hey you
I wanna make it up to you if
I fake it right
You love me tonight

So if you want me girl
I wanna hear you say
Hey you (you you you)
