Lyrics
This is my confessional
Seven seconds till I hit the ground
But you saved my life!
Now I feel indestructible
So protected when you're around
Yeah, you saved my life!
Bridge:
You make me, you make me feel so incredible
You and I, you and I feels unbelievable
You make it, you make it so undeniable
Chorus:
A million hearts, you're the only one
Who lights it up like I'm glowing in the dark!
A million hearts, you're the only one
Who lights me up like I'm glowing in the dark!
This is my confessional
Seven seconds till I hit the ground
But you saved my life!
Now I feel indestructible
So protected when you're around
Yeah, you saved my life!
Bridge:
You make me, you make me feel so incredible
You and I, you and I feels so unbelievable
