Hearts are racing at the speed of light Eyes are opening and rolling right Sinking feeling it's almost like It wouldn't matter if we died tonight We are beautiful Breakable We're gonna lose it all to the light 'Cause in time, we all burn as one, in the sun, in the sky Like a shooting star, it's just who we are Pushin', pushin', pullin', movin' on A sense of freedom we've been hanging on I've cut the chord and now it won't be long Before we find out where it's coming from We are beautiful Breakable We're gonna lose it all to the light 'Cause in time, we all burn as one, in the sun, in the sky Like a shooting star, it's just who we are We are beautiful Breakable We're gonna lose it all to the light 'Cause in time, we all burn as one, in the sun, in the sky Like a shooting star, it's just who we are
