Overdrive
Oliver Heldens Ft Becky Hill Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take a moment for yourself
Get close with the lights down low
You and I and no one else
I get the feeling that I wanna explode
Baby, you grab my attention
Tension burning, fever high
Take me to another dimension
Tonight the rules do not apply

Oh, I can't stop this feeling baby
Only you can make me come alive
When we're crashing, let's have passion
Boy, you've got my heart on overdrive

I can't stop this feeling baby
Only you can make me come alive
When we're crashing, let's have passion
Boy, you've got my heart on overdrive

This is where I wanna be (this is where I wanna be)
Hands up, feel the bass in my heart
Give me faith and I will leave (I will leave)
I take the risk 'cause you're never too far
Right now I'm drowning in emotion
Caution flies right out the door
Baby, you're pushing this devotion
I can only ask for more

Oh, I can't stop this feeling baby
Only you can make me come alive
When we're crashing, let's have passion
Boy, you've got my heart on overdrive

When my head is spinning, all hands to the ceiling
I begin to come alive
When we're crashing, let's have passion
Boy, you've got my heart on overdrive
