Now you see me driving my starship
You want me to stop for you to hop onboard
So you can sail through my orbit
And admire my constellations
Well (harmony well, well, well, well)
Well once upon a time when our frequencies were aligned (frequencies were aligned)
And we didn’t think twice how our fields intertwined (intertwined)
You held me in your vastness and I held you in mine
And for a sweet tender moment, All was sublime
(harmony All was sublime)
And what you left behind
(all was sublime)
You just wanted a ride
Ooohs (4 bars)
Solos
Frequencies were aligned (Ooohs)

Verse 1
Dreaming,dreaming
All I think about is my feelings, feelings
Where I wanna be and who I wanna be with
Don’t know why you wanna be without me
Way out, way out
Thinking about the ways it’s going to play out, play out
The way you leave me feeling
When there shouldn’t be a doubt
Chorus
I can’t help but feel like you should know by now
I can’t help but feel like you should know by now
Hook
you know that it really ain’t nice
The way that you’re rollin the dice with me
You know that it really ain’t nice
The way that you’re rollin the dice with me
Verse 2
Right now, right now
Really need some answers gotta find, out find out
Where you wanna be, who you wanna be with
Could be you and I so easily
Way out, way out
Thinking about the ways it’s going to play out play out
The way you leave me feeling
When there shouldn’t be a doubt
Chorus
I can’t help but feel like you should know by now
I can’t help but feel like you should know by now
Hook
You know that it really ain’t nice
The way that you’re rollin the dice with me
You know that it really ain’t nice
The way that you’re rollin the dice with me
Outro
I can’t help but feel like you should
Know by now
By now, by now

I can’t tell you where I’m going
I can’t tell you where I been
You know we keep the party jumpin
Just as soon as we walk in
Late night, talkin’ great night
Where the neon lights outshine the stars
And we don’t care who you are
Cause' you got dressed up to look your best and step out on the floor tonight
Round’ midnight
You know it’s going down at midnight
The party don’t start till midnight
You know it’s going down at midnight
Cause’ madness defines the nightlife
You know it’s going down at midnight
The party don’t start till midnight
You know it’s going down at midnight!
