Never Look Back
Oliver Heldens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thunder and lightning, we're gonna detonate
Don't lose your mind when you watch me walk away
Thunder and lightning
And we never look back
Solid gold, saw you walking like that
Step too close, turn to liquid like that
And we never look back
Fill it up, motor oil like that
Butter bomb and you light it like that
Throw it over your shoulder like that
And we never look back
Shh, don't wake the lion
Come meet the flame
Don't wake the lion
Uh oh, too late
Solid gold, saw you walking like that
Step too close, turn to liquid like that
Sleek and bold, can we keep it like that?
And we never look back
Don't lose your mind when you watch me walk away
Thunder and lightning, we're gonna detonate
Don't lose your mind when you watch me walk away
Thunder and lightning
And we never look back
Never look back
And we never look back
Keep it like that
We never look back
Never look back
And we never look back
Keep it like that
And we never look back

Come meet the flame
Don't wake the lion
