Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey
The sun's coming in
Clouds are starting to clear, yeah
I'm starting to feel like I have nothing to fear, woah

The feeling lifts me up
Can't let them hold me down
Not even gravity can keep me on the ground (no, woah, oh, oh)
Can't keep me on the ground oh

I feel like I'm soaring across the sky
I feel like I'm soaring across the sky
Like a firework
Like a shooting star
Like a rocket on it's way to mars
I feel like I'm soaring across the sky
Said baby I'm soaring

I must have wings on my shoes
Because I'm walking on air, yeah
Not a care in the world
Like I'm a billionaire, no

The feeling lifts me up
Can't let them hold me down
Not even gravity can keep me on the ground (no, woah, oh, oh)
Can't keep me on the ground oh

I feel like I'm soaring across the sky
I feel like I'm soaring across the sky
Like a firework
Like a shooting star
Like a rocket on it's way to mars
I feel like I'm soaring across the sky
Said baby I'm soaring

Taking off tonight yeah
And all of the stars will shine extra bright yeah
I'm taking off
I'm taking off
I'm taking off
I'm taking off
I'm taking off
I'm taking off
I'm taking off
I'm taking

I feel like I'm soaring across the sky
I feel like I'm soaring across the sky
Like a firework
Like a shooting star
Like a rocket on it's way to mars
I feel like I'm soaring across the sky
Said baby I'm soaring

I feel like I'm soaring across the sky
I feel like I'm soaring across the sky
Like a firework
Like a shooting star
Like a rocket on it's way to mars




I feel like I'm soaring across the sky
Said baby I'm soaring
