I stole the keys to the skies We'll leave this place for the final time No crying words, no goodbyes Yes tonight we're burning all the tough times Drown all the fears that we had These are the things that we'll never understand This time fight fire with fire 'Cause baby tonight the world belongs to you and I This boy's in love, love This boy's in love (Under city, under city lights) Don't tell the world what we've known We've come so far but there's still a way to go It's dark, there's no need for lights When the fire in his eyes is so bright This boy's in love, love This boy's in love (Under city, under city lights) Tonight, turn out the lights Don't wait, too late to die Look out, hold on, hold tight Tonight, all night I'm getting ready so Love, love, love, love This boy's in love This town, these streets, your friends You'll never see this place again You'll think about it now and then (Love) You'll never see our face again (This boy's in love) Goodbye, this town, these streets, your friends You'll never see this place again You'll think about it now and then (Love) You'll never see our faces again
