This can't be real
My heart is burning
How does it feel ?
Well, let's say I'm learning
It had to come
The ship has landed
It's time to run
The crew are stranded

We're having the time of our lives
We're lost in a cruel paradise

Someone like you could make me feel like I used to do
Return my heart, yeah
Make it real like it was at the start
Someone like you, someone like you, yeah

You're everything to me:
The sweetest symphony
All that I try to be
You are my harmony
I guess what I mean to say
Is you keep the wolves at bay
We're children on holiday
Here comes the cloud

We're having the time of our lives
We're lost in a cruel paradise

Someone like you could make me feel like I used to do
Return my heart, yeah
Make it real like it was at the start
Someone like you, yeah, someone like you, yeah
