TOUCH THE SUN

Verse 1

Tell you my dreams

I spread my wings¹

One shot, the gun²

I touch the sun³

My love, my muse

My point of view⁴

My car, your place

Go fast, don’t wait⁵

Chorus

Off the ground⁶, keep it heavy⁷, need a bounce now

Off the ground, keep it heavy, need a bounce now

I’ve been off the ground, but things are moving down now.

Off the ground, keep it heavy, need a bounce now

Verse 2

Tell you my dreams

I spread my wings

One shot, the gun

I touch the sun

I spill my blood

My seed, my son⁸

My will, my sin⁹

My pill, my skin¹⁰
