## Lyrics

**[Intro]**

Ooooooh ohohohohohoh

Ooooooh ohohohohohoh

Ooooooh ohohohohohoh

Ooooooh ohohohohohoh

Ooooooh ohohohohohoh

Ooooooh ohohohohohoh

**[Verse 1]**

Right now

You got me feeling like I can't believe I let you go

I've been alone so long

And now I wonder what the hell we were thinking of

Oh I can't believe I kid myself again, again

Now I'm letting go

Oh my fear, all my fear

I've been fearing this too long

**[Chorus]**

Back beat, counting time

Pick it up and tell me if you really wanna dance some more

We're borderline wasting time

Pick it up and tell me that you love me like you did before

I understand, understand

I been feeling it so long

I'm flying when I'm in your arms

I'm burning up, burning up

Feeling like I kid myself, kid myself again

Yeah

**[Interlude]**

Ooooooh ohohohohohoh

Ooooooh ohohohohohoh

**[Verse 2]**

Think fast

Don't let the speed of sound leave you feeling paralyzed

Slow down

Cause your words are saying something different than your eyes

Oh, If only we could make it so we didn't have to try so hard

To stay in time again

Show me how, show me how

And you will leave me wanting more

**[Chorus]**

Back beat, counting time

Pick it up and tell me if you really wanna dance some more

We're borderline wasting time

Pick it up and tell me that you love me like you did before

I understand, understand

I been feeling it so long

I'm flying when I'm in your arms

I'm burning up, burning up

Feeling like I kid myself, kid myself again

Yeah

**[Chorus]**

Back beat, counting time

Pick it up and tell me if you really wanna dance some more

We're borderline wasting time

Pick it up and tell me that you love me like you did before

I understand, understand

I been feeling it so long

I'm flying when I'm in your arms

I'm burning up, burning up

Feeling like I kid myself, kid myself again

Yeah

**[Interlude]**

Ooooooh ohohohohohoh

Ooooooh ohohohohohoh

Ooooooh ohohohohohoh

Ooooooh ohohohohohoh

**[Chorus]**

Back beat, counting time

Pick it up and tell me if you really wanna dance some more

We're borderline wasting time

Pick it up and tell me that you love me like you did before

I understand, understand

I been feeling it so long

I'm flying when I'm in your arms

I'm burning up, burning up

Feeling like I kid myself, kid myself again

Yeah
