Voltage
Skrillex feat. Bare Noize & Foreign Beggars Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could watch you for a lifetime, you're my favourite movie
A thousand endings, you mean everything to me
I never know what's coming, forever fascinated
Hope you don't stop running, to me 'cause I'll always be waiting.

You gotta believe in the voltage that lives inside us
So let's buckle up and break our walls down
You gotta believe in the voltage that lives inside us
You gotta believe in something more.





You gotta believe in something more.
