Celebrate
Mika Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want the whole world to celebrate (let's go)

I wanna come home
To the only place I know
Where the trees I planted grow
I wanna come home

Once I get up I feel better
Then I pull myself together
I remember those two letters
It will be ok
Everyone says now or never
I say only if it's better
Be a night like this forever
Will we know better

I want the whole world to celebrate
I want the whole world to celebrate
I want the whole world to celebrate
I want the whole world to celebrate

I'll be just fine
When I see you at the finish line
Doesn't matter if I take my time
I'm coming home

Once I get up I feel better
And I pull myself together
I remember those two letters
It will be ok
Everyone says now or never
I say only if it's better
Be a night like this forever
Will we know better

I want the whole world to celebrate
I want the whole world to celebrate
I want the whole world to celebrate
I want the whole world to celebrate

I'm not mad at you at all
But I want the whole world to celebrate, yeah, hmm

Right about now it's time for everybody to stand up, stand up
And have fun
'Cause we just begun

I want the whole world to celebrate (let's go)

Once again if I feel better
Then I pull myself together
I remember those two letters
It will be ok
Everyone says now or never
I say only if it's better
Be a night like this forever

I wanna go home (I want the whole world to celebrate)
I wanna go home (I want the whole world to celebrate)
I wanna go home (I want the whole world to celebrate)
I wanna go home (I want the whole world to celebrate)
And celebrate
I'll get the whole world to celebrate




I want the whole world to celebrate
I want the whole world to celebrate
