Heart in my mouth, but my head in the clouds yeah
I can feel it rising
Bound to the Earth but, we could ascend yeah
I’m realizing

I feel both feet lift off the ground
I can levitate
With every chord that plays I close my eyes
And levitate

I can float

The air is electric, it heightens the senses
I can feel it charging
I’ll never forget it, we're transcending
And I know it's starting

I feel both feet lift off the ground
I can levitate (levitate)
With every chord that plays I close my eyes and levitate (levitate)
I levitate (levitate)

Heart in my mouth, but my head in the clouds yeah
I can feel it rising
Bound to the Earth but, we could ascend yeah
I’m realizing

I feel both feet lift off the ground
I can levitate
With every chord that plays I close my eyes and levitate (levitate)

I can float
I can levitate
I can levitate

I feel both feet lift off the ground
I can levitate (levitate)
With every chord that plays I close my eyes and levitate (levitate)
I can levitate (levitate)
