Lyrics... "Boom boom boom clap You're picture perfect blue Sunbathing on the moon Stars shining as your bones illuminate First kiss just like a drug Under your influence You take me over you're the magic in my veins This must be love Boom clap The sound of my heart The beat goes on and on and on and on and Boom clap You make me feel good Come on to me come on to me now Boom clap The sound of my heart The beat goes on and on and on and on and Boom clap You make me feel good Come on to me come on to me now No silver or no gold Could dress me up so good You're the glitter in the darkness of my world Just tell me what to do I'll fall right into you Going under cast a spell just say the word I feel your love Boom clap The sound of my heart The beat goes on and on and on and on and Boom clap You make me feel good Come on to me come on to me now Boom clap The sound of my heart The beat goes on and on and on and on and Boom clap You make me feel good Come on to me come on to me now You are the light and I will follow You let me lose my shadow You are the sun the glowing halo And you keep burning me up with all of your love Boom clap The sound of my heart The beat goes on and on and on and on and Boom clap You make me feel good Come on to me come on to me now Boom clap The sound of my heart The beat goes on and on and on and on and Boom clap You make me feel good Come on to me come on to me now Boom clap The sound of my heart The beat goes on and on and on and on and Boom clap You make me feel good Come on to me come on to me now Boom clap The sound of my heart The beat goes on and on and on and on and Boom clap You make me feel good Come on to me come on to me now" | Analysis...
