Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Soon as I get my head 'round you

I come around catchin' sparks off you

I get an electric charge from you

That secondhand livin', it just won't do

[Chorus]

And the way I feel tonight

Oh, I could die and I wouldn't mind

And there's somethin' goin' on inside

Makes you wanna feel, makes you wanna try

Makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky

I can't stand up, I can't cool down

I can't get my head off the ground

[Verse 2]

As soon as I get my head 'round you

I come around catchin' sparks off you

And all I ever got from you

Was all I ever took from you

[Chorus]

And the world could die in pain

And I wouldn't feel no shame

And there's nothin' holdin' me to blame

Makes you wanna feel, makes you wanna try

Makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky

And I'm takin' myself to the dirty part of town

Where all my troubles can't be found

[Chorus]

Makes you wanna feel, makes you wanna try

Makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky

And I can't stand up, I can't cool down

I can't get my head up off the ground

Makes you wanna feel, makes you wanna try

Makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky

And I can't stand up, I can't cool down

I can't get my head off the ground

[Outro]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro]

I said, hey

Aww, hey

Yeah, hey

Aww, hey

[Outro]

Makes me wanna feel

Makes you wanna try

Makes me wanna feel

Makes you wanna try

Aww, hey

Aww, hey

Aww, hey

Hey

Yeah, yeah, yeah
