  • She said let's change our luck
    This night is all we've got
    Drive fast until we crash
    This dead end life
    Sweet dreams that won't come true
    I'd leave it all for you
    Brick walls keep closing in
    Let's make a run tonight

    Blinded by the lights
    Hold you through forever
    Never let you go

    'Cause if you jump I will jump too
    We will fall together
    From the building's ledge
    Never looking back at what we've done
    We'll say it was love
    'Cause I would die for you
    On Skyway Avenue

    She said don't change your mind
    Let's leave this town behind
    We'll race right off the cliff
    They will remember this
    It all got so mundane
    With you I'm back again
    Just take me by the hand
    We're close to the edge

    Blinded by the lights
    Hold you through forever
    Never let you go

    ''Cause if you jump I will jump too
    We will fall together
    From the building's ledge
    Never looking back at what we've done
    We'll say it was love'
    Cause I would die for you
    On Skyway Avenue

    Where are your guts to fly
    Soaring through, through the night
    And if you take that last step
    I'll follow you
    Leave the edge and fly
    We're finally alive

    'Cause if you jump I will jump too
    We will fall together
    From the building's ledge
    Never looking back at what we've done
    We'll say it was love
    'Cause I would die for you
    On Skyway Avenue
    So what's left to prove
    We have made it through Writer/s: DAVID KATZ, SAM HOLLANDER, TRAVIS CLARKE
