A combination makes the spark We fuel the fire then watch it grow A stimulation to the heart I lose my head Out of control Pulling me over, running me through I'd be right there in a beat (beat) boy I'd do anything to be with you I lose my breath Out of control You make my heart beat faster And that's all that matters You make my heart beat faster And that's all that matters You make my heart beat faster And that's all that matters You make my heart beat faster And that's all that matters Imagination turn the key Snap the shot It's in my head Anticipation grabbing me I lose my breath Out of control A combination makes the spark We fuel the fire then watch it grow A stimulation to the heart I lose my head Out of control
