Lyrics[]
I'm not gonna sleep tonight Till the morning fills the sky No one's getting left behind This is our time, This is our time! We're gonna live this night, ye-yeah Live it like it's our last night 'Cause nobody cares, If there's no tomorrow. I'm not thinking 'bout the future, It's somewhere out there We're too busy being human We remember Hearts' spinning all around on me (together) Now they're surrounding me This is how we get connected Running out the shadows into light! We're gonna love this night, ye-yeah Loving like it's our last night Stars up in the air, ye-yeah It's our last night in the city! I've been traveling around now Big world with my brothers, Always moving to a new town No time to put the roofs down We can't stop believing (can't stop) Now we believe in you 'Cause when you're standing in the spotlights The only thing that matters is tonight!! We're gonna live this night, ye-yeah Live it like it's our last night 'Cause nobody cares, If there's no tomorrow. We're gonna love this night, ye-yeah Loving like it's our last night Stars up in the air, ye-yeah It's our last night in the city! Ye-yeah Last night in the city Ye-yeah Last night in the city I'm not gonna sleep tonight Till the morning fills the sky No one's getting left behind This is our time, This is our time! We're gonna live this night, ye-yeah Live it like it's our last night 'Cause nobody cares, If there's no tomorrow. We're gonna love this night, ye-yeah Loving like it's our last night Stars up in the air, ye-yeah It's our last night in the city! Ye-yeah Last night in the city Ye-yeah Last night in the city
