Lyrics[]

[Verse 1]
I tried to disappear
But you're the only reason I'm floating here
Eyes painted crystal clear
I can see our future through the atmosphere

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you go, no, don't you go
Don't you know I'm up here alone
Yeah, I am like a satellite
Sending you a signal tonight

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh like a streak of light
Oh, oh, oh watch the world fly by
Oh, oh, oh rev your engine up
Everybody's racing at the speed of love

[Verse 2]
You were so hard to find
With oh, so many clouds across my summer sky
You, my constellation prize
Yeah, every single star is sparkling in your eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
So, don't you go, no, don't you go
Because don't you know I'm up here alone
Yeah, so high, like a satellite
I'm sending you a signal tonight

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh like a streak of light
Oh, oh, oh watch the world fly by
Oh, oh, oh rev your engine up
Everybody's racing at the speed of love
Oh, oh, oh like a streak of light
Oh, oh, oh watch the world fly by
Oh, oh, oh rev your engine up
Everybody's racing at the speed of love

[Bridge]
One track, one mind, one race to win
One start, one heart, one life to live
One track, one mind, one race to win
One start, one heart, one life to live

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh like a streak of light
Oh, oh, oh watch the world fly by
Oh, oh, oh rev your engine up
Everybody's racing at the speed of love
Oh, oh, oh like a streak of light
Oh, oh, oh watch the world fly by
Oh, oh, oh rev your engine up
Everybody's racing at the speed of love
