Oh, it’s a nightmare
Infected by the sight and sound
You and I are lost in a daydream
When I’m with you, there’s no one around

I’ll keep your skin as a souvenir
And your heart inside my hand
But I won’t look you in the eyes, my dear
Don’t want your heart to shrink to sand

Oh, I feel alive
Kaleidoscope inside my mind
You’re the real thing, no, we all are
It’s amazing when we fly
When we fly

Go on, take a photo
A memory you can keep for the road
I’ll stay on your phone ‘till I’m corrupted
Don’t save me, I was meant to corrode

Well, you could say I’m unnatural
That we were just too weird to survive
You could say it’s the stars that told you
That this day was always gonna arrive

Oh, I feel alive
Kaleidoscope inside my mind
You’re the real thing, no, we all are
It’s amazing when we fly
When we fly

If you don’t yet know, you’re deep in my bones
And I can’t keep on gazing at your beauty from afar
I’ll love you ‘till I fade away and die
You’re the closest there is to heavenly euphoria on earth

Oh, I feel alive
Kaleidoscope inside my mind
You’re the real thing, no, we all are
It’s amazing when we fly
When we fly
