We can learn to live

We can learn to give

We can learn to fly

We can learn to try

Don′t get it caught up
It's getting harder
Can you feel it
Turns out it′s the answer

All of the night, love
So when your ready
Don't stop your surviving
We can try to learn, for now we'll dance
Just let it start up
All of the colors
Down to the speakers
Spreading it like butter
Don′t run for cover
It′s getting heated
Temperature is rising
We can try to learn, for now we'll dance

We can
We can learn to live
(We can learn to live)

Times getting shorter
You can feel it
She's your tiny dancer
All through the night they′re
All getting ready
Don't stop you′re surviving
We can try to learn, for now we'll dance
Just let it start up
All of the colors
Down to the speakers
Let your vision wander
Don't run for cover
It gets repeated
Temperature is rising
We can try to learn, for now we′ll dance
