I stared up at the sun Thought of all the people, Places and things I've loved You can feel the light start to tremble Washing what you know out to sea You can see your life out of the window, tonight If I lose myself tonight It'll be by your side If I lose myself tonight Wooh, wooh, wooh! If I lose myself tonight It'll be you and I Lose myself tonight I woke up with the sun Thought of all the people Places and things I've loved You can feel the light start to tremble Washing what you know out to sea You can see your life out the window, tonight If I lose myself tonight It'll be by your side If I lose myself tonight Wooh, wooh, wooh! If I lose myself tonight It'll be you and I Lose myself tonight Wooh! Lose myself tonight Wooh, wooh, wooh, wooh Wooh, wooh, wooh, wooh
