## Lyrics

**[Intro: MIIA]**

Lo-o-ove

Lo-o-ove

Lo-o-ove

**[Verse 1: Chris King]**

Ye, ye, I'm tryin' to let the feeling settle in (Oh)

'Cause we larger than we ever been (Ye)

Long hours on my cell phone (Ha)

Love letters for text messages

Say I stole your heart, yeah, I bet I did (Yeah)

And I don't care what the weather is

Supersize, I show you what different levels is

**[Chorus: MIIA]**

Yeah, we're larger than life

It's written in the sky

Your signal's hittin' my heart just like a satellite

And in the moment I reach ya, the world ignites

There's nothin' bigger than us

'Cause we're larger than life

Larger than life

Lo-o-ove

Lo-o-ove

Lo-o-ove

**[Post-Chorus: MIIA & *Chris King*]**

We're larger than life

Lo-o-ove

Lo-o-ove (*Larger than life*)

Lo-o-ove (*Ye*)

We're larger than life

**[Verse 2: Chris King]**

All I know is that it feels right

When I'm with you I just know it be a good night (Ye)

I want it all and I ain't tryin' to be the rude type (Nah)

But you know love messy like a food fight

When I see you I need you baby it's all sight

And they can hate from the bleachers baby, they off sight

I feel a hundred feet tall, I shoulda' balled, right? Right (Ye)

**[Pre-Chorus: MIIA & *Chris King*]**

When it's brighter than the sun

And you know that it's true

*You shine bright like your smile and the stars and the moon*

When you know this is the one

*And all I know is that it feels right, yeah*

**[Chorus: MIIA, *Brandon Skeie & Chris King*]**

Yeah, we're larger than life

It's written in the sky

Your signal's hittin' my heart just like a satellite

And in the moment I reach ya, the world ignites

There's nothin' bigger than us

'Cause we're larger than life

Larger than life (*Oh*)

Lo-o-ove (*Oh*)

Lo-o-ove (*Oh*)

Lo-o-ove (*Ye*)

**[Post-Chorus: MIIA, Brandon Skeie & Chris King]**

*We're larger than life*

Lo-o-ove

Lo-o-ove

Lo-o-ove (*Oh*)

We're larger than life

**[Bridge: Brandon Skeie & *Chris King*]**

So come take the world with me

As big as we wanna be

No stoppin' eternity (Ah-ah) (*Ye*)

Once we take off, we ain't comin' down

Look out 'cause we're upward bound

And nothin' can break us now

**[Outro: MIIA & *Chris King*]**

*Larger than life*

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

We're larger than life (*Yeah*)

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

*We're larger than life*

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

We're larger than life
