Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Birds beware, expect me up there
Me and air are feeling light today
Jets should hide, I'll fly alongside
Me and pride are bolted tight today
[Verse 2]
I've been set off by a pretty little girl
Like a rocket from a bottle shot free
I've been just explosive since you lit me
I've been up with the larks, I've been shooting off sparks
And I'm feeling in love
[Verse 3]
Hate step back, my smile might just crack
Can't stop grins from going wide today
Hell, look sharp
Angels play your harp
I feel strong like the tide today
[Verse 4]
I've been set off by a pretty little girl
Like a rocket from a bottle shot free
I've been just explosive since you lit me
I've been up with the larks, I've been shooting off sparks
And I'm feeling in love
[Verse 5]
I'm like a rocket from a bottle shot free
I've been just explosive since you kissed me
I've been up in the clouds, I've been shrugging off shrouds
And I'm feeling in love
[Verse 6]
Oh, I'm like a rocket from a bottle shot free
I've been just explosive since you lit me
I've been up with the larks, I've been shooting off sparks
And I'm feeling in love
[Verse 7]
I'm like a rocket from a bottle shot free
I've been just explosive since you kissed me
I've been up in the clouds, I've been shrugging off shrouds
And I'm feeling in love
[Verse 8]
I'm like a rocket from a bottle shot free
I've been just explosive since you lit me
I've been up with the larks, I've been shooting off sparks
And I'm feeling in love
[Verse 9]
A rocket from a
I'm, I'm, I'm a rocket from a
I'm, I'm, I'm a rocket from a
I'm, I'm, I'm a rocket from a
