## Lyrics

Fell from the sky

Fell from the sky

And started walking

Leaving our footprints on the ground

It might be a prayer

Or maybe a piece of conversation

Wherever we go we make a sound

So I call your name

The only thing I know

Is I need you

Or you'll be gone

Forever

All that I know

All that I know

Is we're here

Tonight

Turn up the lights

Let go for tonight baby

Let love in your life and be strong

Let go for tonight baby

Who needs sleep tonight?

I need to let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Turn up the lights

Let love in your life baby

Who needs sleep tonight?

I wanna drive

I wanna drive into the open

Looking for reasons I can't find

So I call your name

The only thing I know

Is I need you

Or you'll be gone

Forever

What do you want?

I need you here or you'll be gone forever

All that I know

All that I know

Is we're here

Tonight

Turn up the lights

Let go for tonight baby

Let love in your life and be strong

Let go for tonight baby

Who needs sleep tonight?

I need to let go

Let go

Let go

Let go

Turn up the lights

Let love in your life baby

Who needs sleep tonight?

The music video starts out with Foxes and several other people sat in a white room at a white table. The song starts focusing on Foxes, and as the chorus swells, everyone begins throwing various food items and paint. This continues throughout the song, until the last bridge, in which Foxes runs out of the room (revealed to be a three-wall stand set up in a hilly field) and into a hilly field, followed by the others. Foxes ends the song being carried by a man.
