Lyrics
[Verse 1] I came in with a grin and a bruise on my sleeve New shoes on the floor, but I move with the beat Paper cup coffee, cold in my hand Big dreams talking loud, small town plan You said, “Bet you can’t turn that spark into flame” I said, “Watch me,” then I stepped in the frame Bass line bouncing like a bus on Fifth Heart kept time with the backbeat lift [Pre-Chorus] Hands up, don’t blink Feel that room breathe in One more step, then we leap Say my name again [Chorus] Oh, we go up tonight We go up tonight Sing it back to life We go up tonight Clap that love in time Clap that love in time Hands in the air, all mine We go up tonight [Verse 2] Heel on the floor and the floor says “yeah” I talk my talk with a crooked smile stare She pulled me close like “show me the way” I said, “Follow the sound, we can make this day” Sax in the back like a gold-lit sigh Crowd got loud when I raised my eyes Every old doubt tried to get in line But I turned it loose like a bird on a wire [Bridge] Oh-oh, hear it rise From the chest, from the sky No fear in the light We were born for this night [Chorus] Oh, we go up tonight We go up tonight Sing it back to life We go up tonight Clap that love in time Clap that love in time Hands in the air, all mine We go up tonight
