Lyrics
[Verse 1] You came in like a match To the dry grass of my plans Every old scar shook loose When you took my hand I was stuck in the dust With my feet in yesterday Now the whole room leans in When you look my way [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I can feel it rise From the floor to the sky One more step, one more breath We’re alive tonight [Chorus] Hands in the air Hands in the air We’re not going back now Whoa-oh, whoa-oh Whoa-oh, whoa-oh We’re gonna burn this town Hands in the air Hands in the air Say it like you mean it now Whoa-oh, whoa-oh Whoa-oh, whoa-oh Louder than the crowd [Verse 2] Your laugh hits the walls Like a spark on gasoline Every little doubt I had Just fell between the seams Got a mile in my chest And a thunder in my feet We don’t need a map tonight We just need belief [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I can feel it rise From the floor to the sky One more step, one more breath We’re alive tonight [Chorus] Hands in the air Hands in the air We’re not going back now Whoa-oh, whoa-oh Whoa-oh, whoa-oh We’re gonna burn this town Hands in the air Hands in the air Say it like you mean it now Whoa-oh, whoa-oh Whoa-oh, whoa-oh Louder than the crowd [Bridge] Hold on Hold on I can see the whole world turn Hold on Hold on Let the last old shadow burn [Key Change Chorus] Hands in the air Hands in the air We’re not going back now Whoa-oh, whoa-oh Whoa-oh, whoa-oh We’re gonna burn this town Hands in the air Hands in the air Say it like you mean it now Whoa-oh, whoa-oh Whoa-oh, whoa-oh Louder than the crowd
