  • You know, I like it here
    And it's weird when it appears
    The magic in the space between us
    You, me, this place we dreamed up
    You go outside to feed the meter
    Until I next see ya

    I'll keep moving 'til I see you cruising in
    And I am an average dancer
    That's not the point that I am after
    I'll be your midnight bootleg firecracker
    I could blow up in your hand
    It could be great or a disaster
    That's the point that I am after

    There's risk, I guarantee
    When there's skin you tend to bleed
    But I'd rather be fighting a losing battle
    Than to live with me and my shadow
    There's always a chance on the way for a win
    And even a small one

    So I'll keep moving 'til I see you cruising in
    And I am an average dancer
    That's not the point that I am after
    I'll be your midnight bootleg firecracker
    I could blow up in your hand
    It could be great or a disaster
    That's the point that I am after

    (That's the point that I am after)
    (That's the point that I am after)
    (That's the point that I am after)
    (And that's the point that I am after) Writer/s: Hannah Cameron, Timothy Fitzmaurice
