## Lyrics

I just wanna get high with my lover

Veo una muñeca cuando miro en el espejo

Kiss, kiss, looking dolly, I think I may go out tonight

I just wanna ride, get high in the moonlight

I just wanna get high with my lover

Veo una muñeca cuando miro en el espejo

Kiss, kiss, looking dolly, I think I may go out tonight

I just wanna ride, get high in the moonlight

Forget the small talk

The surface level ain't much that I care for

Putting on my lip gloss

I saw you stare from my peripheral, yeah

Baby, it's been a hell of a day

But I know a place we can escape

Find out how it feels to let go of everything, be free

When you're here with me

I just wanna get high with my lover

Veo una muñeca cuando miro en el espejo

Kiss, kiss, looking dolly, I think I may go out tonight

I just wanna ride, get high in the moonlight

I just wanna get high with my lover

Veo una muñeca cuando miro en el espejo

Kiss, kiss, looking dolly, I think I may go out tonight

I just wanna ride, get high in the moonlight

There's nothing like peace of mind

And you take the time to make sure that I'm okay

I know I can put stress on your brain

You still love me, put no one above me

You always go out of your way

To show me that I'm your priority

Find out how it feels to let go of everything, be free

When you're here with me

I just wanna get high with my lover

Veo una muñeca cuando miro en el espejo (I just wanna get high with my lover)

Kiss, kiss, looking dolly, I think I may go out tonight

I just wanna ride, get high in the moonlight

I just wanna get high with my lover (Get high)

Veo una muñeca cuando miro en el espejo (High with my lover)

Kiss, kiss, looking dolly, I think I may go out tonight

I just wanna ride, get high in the moonlight

Get higher with you

Get higher and higher with you

Let's go to the moon

And leave behind all that

How does it feel, here by my side getting higher and higher?

Under the moonlight's glow

There's nowhere we won't go

Together go higher and higher

No-no-nowhere we won't go
