Turn it up, I never wanna go home I only wanna be part of your breakdown She got caught by the four on the floor It picked her up, and she'll never get let down And now I can't stop thinkin' about it All you people at the top don't know nothin' about it We don't give a f*ck what the price is So just leave us to our own devices, and we'll leave you alone I'll be there when your heart stops beating I'll be there when your last breath's taken away In the dark, when there's no one listening In the times when we both get carried away When we both get carried away She says it all without a thought in her head She says it all as she's pressed up against me A little something just to take off the edge A little more, and I'll fall off the planet entirely I'll be there when your heart stops beating I'll be there when your last breath's taken away In the dark, when there's no one listening In the times when we both get carried away When we both get carried away I'll be there when your heart stops beating I'll be there when your last breath's taken away In the dark, when there's no one listening In the times when we both get carried away When we both get carried away When we both get carried away (I'll be there when your heart stops beating) When we both get carried away (In the dark, when there's no one listening) When we both get carried away
