I put my spacesuit on Count back 10 to one The gravitation pull gets stronger Oh My skin it burns away My veins are all ablaze The way its feeling it is bliss As I fly over you Watch out am I the view? I contemplate the lies and secrets This is the best thing that has ever happened to me These are the colors that I've always wanted to see And although I've never said it before I love you, I need you, I need you, I love you Now I'm embracing you From the highest altitude The telescopes our friends they watch us These heights are dangerous From here I can see why Our astronauts retire early This is the best thing that has ever happened to me These are the colours that I've always wanted to see And although I've never said it before I love you, I need you, I need you, I love you Oh oh oh oh hey hey etc This is the best thing Ooh This is the best thing that has ever happened to me (this is the best thing) These are the colours that I've always wanted to see This is the best thing that has ever happened to me These are the colours that I've always wanted to see This is the best thing that has ever happened to me These are the colours that I've always wanted to see And although I've never said it before I love you, I need you, I need you, I love you Best thing This is the best thing This is the best thing This is the best thing I love you, I need you, I need it, I love you
