lyrics

Hanging out on a Friday night
Watching the lights going by and I sing
Baby you’re like a rollercoaster
Running my life at the edge of the brink
And I can go on today

Take control
As the nights get colder
And leaves fall harder
And no one knows
‘Til the lights get brighter
so hold on tighter
If you can’t go on today.

I know that there’s no one
Running my life
No one’s running my life
So I’m taken away
I know that there’s no one
Running my life
I’ve been running my life
You can’t take it away
You can’t take it away

On the floor
As your eyes grow heavy.
Amor, it’s game day in this
Game de amor.

Hanging out
Baby I’m hanging out
Playing, making, breaking all the rules to your game
Getting out baby I’m getting loud
Messing ‘round. Looking round to choke the flame
And I can move on today.

You’ve made it easy to write the
Songs I never want to write.
I never want to write:

I know that there’s no one
Running my life
No one’s running my life
So I’m taken away
I know that there’s no one
Running my life
I’ve been running my life
You can’t take it away
You can’t take it away
