## Lyrics

[Verse 1: Lorde]

A couple rebel top gun pilots

Flyin' with nowhere to be, oh

Don't know you super well

But I think that you might be the same as me

Behave abnormally

[Pre-Chorus: Lorde]

Let's let things come out of the woodwork

I'll give you my best side, tell you all my best lies

Yeah, awesome right?

So let's let things come out of the woodwork

I'll give you my best side, tell you all my best lines

Seeing me rollin', showin' someone else love

Dancin' with our shoes off

Know I think you're awesome, right?

[Chorus: Lorde]

Our rules, our dreams, we're blind

Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

Our friends, our drinks, we get inspired

Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

[Verse 2: Khalid]

I wanna feel the light, pushin' our limits

Unbuckled for the ride, mhmm

We're way too far from home

Let's be honest with ourselves, we're way too high to drive

So let's take on the night

If the light is in, yeah

Open, finally, we're goin' and we're free

[Chorus: Khalid & Lorde]

Our rules, our dreams, we're blind

Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

Our friends, our drinks, we get inspired

Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

[Verse 3: SZA]

I checked your girl at the door

I sent your friend to the store

It's only me and you

Finally you're still and I don't regret

Drinkin' this liquor

And makin' you listen

And I know you don't know me well

My girl's at the door

And I left my pretense at home

And it ain't no goin' back (goin' back)

[Chorus: SZA & Lorde]

Our rules, our dreams, we're blind

Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

Our friends, our drinks, we get inspired

Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

[Verse 4: Post Malone]

Walk, never fall, but we still run

So pour up, pour up another one

I know, I know we on to somethin'

We got, we got a loaded gun

Go and shoot me the look in your eyes

And you're here, I'm yours, you're mine

Find each other when we're losin' our minds

Then we take it all off

You're a runaway train, yeah

And you got me so faded

And I don't wanna chase it

You know I think you're awesome, right?

[Chorus: Post Malone & Lorde]

Our rules, our dreams, we're blind

Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

Our friends, our drinks, we get inspired

Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite, yeah, yeah

Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

Blowin' shit up with homemade d-d-d-dynamite

Blowin' shit up

[Outro: Lorde]

Now you know it's really gonna blow
