Take your last shot you know you're gonna hit it

Something's in the air, somethings in the air

Pushing and pulling and it's grabbing me

If we clap our hands, the walls will break

Take this rock and start a fire
Raise this up, we're feeling high
They can't tell us anything
'Cause something big is happening

Something big I feel it happening
Out of my control
Pushing and pulling and it's grabbing me
Feel it in my bones like

Oh oh oh oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
