Something in the air has got me confused
I know you see perfectly well that I've been abused
But the black of your hair and the blue of your eyes reminds me...
We are the disenchanted, we've been torn, we've been used
That's why it's clear that our lives have been fatefully fused
Now the light of the stars that conceives our disguise, it blinds me...
Years ago I fell
Now I am bound by a spell
Write it out, and I'll sing aloud
And we'll tear inhibitions down
And they'll be the best audience around
'Cause we'll make them feel...
I was so close to abandoning this vision
'Til you gave me a breath to make an eminent decision
Now I'm awaiting the curtain call so we can start the show
It's a good thing you and I both have excellent ambition
Never thought I'd find a savior in this musical magician
Dark, handsome, and tall
You make it easier to let go
I fooled myself by thinking I could just surrender
Now I must replace these dull shadows with shiny dark splendor
Write it out and I'll sing aloud
And we'll tear inhibitions down
And they'll be the best audience around
'Cause we'll make them feel like dancing
Let it out! Come on, make me proud!
And we'll tear all their buildings down
And we'll be the ones who will make 'em drown
In their own tears
He can't smell the smoke
See my face in the mirror
Hear the beating of the drums
Take his senses, make them clearer
Find his soul and bring it nearer
(And while we are pretending)
Take my doubts and my fears
Give me a reason to sing
In your mind, I am so intoxicating
In your dreams, I fascinate
Make me a star, we'll be a team
So we can swim in this dream
