Lyrics

I cherished the night of your marathon kiss
Chemicals flying, oh I love this
What's it all for if you can't feel the ecstasy ?
What's it all for if you can't touch the power
The will to live in the hour ?

Don't steal what I have got, baby
'Cause it's hardly enough for myself
Don't steal what I've got, baby
'Cause the balance is thin like a shell

I cherished the night of your marathon kiss
Chemicals flying, oh I love this
What's it all for if you can't feel the moment ?
What's it all for if you can't feel the moment
The moment of kiss

Fearless when I'm with you
Fearless when I'm with you
Fearless when I'm with you
Fearless through and through

What am I gonna wear ? I don't care
Nobody sees the inside
Oh, the radio's gonna take us out
Take us out on a ride
I put on perfume and I walk in the room
The world stands still with you in the room
I cross the floor and I'm high and I'm rich
When I'm under your lips and your fingertips

I cherished the night of your marathon kiss
Chemicals flying into the mist
What's it all for if you can't feel the moment ?
What's it all for if you can't feel the power ?
What's it all for if you can't, can't live right here
In the hour, in the hour, in the hour ?

Fearless when I'm with you
Fearless when I'm with you
Fearless when I'm with you
Fearless through and through
