Come on, come on

Cant stop thinking bout it

Settle down inside my love

How much longer will it take to cure this

Come on, come on

Just to cure it cause I cant ignore it if its love (love)

Jump a little higher

Makes me wanna turn around and face me but I dont

know nothing

Come on, come on

If you feel a little lighter

We were once

Come on, come on

Upon a time in love

Turn a little faster

Were accidentally in love

The world will follow after

Come on, come on

Because everybodys after love

Accidentally

So I said Im a snowball running

Im in love, Im in love, (x 3)

Running down into the spring thats coming all this love

Accidentally (x 2)

Melting under blue skies

Belting out sunlight

Come on, come on

Shimmering love

Spin a little tighter

Come on, come on

Well baby I surrender

And the worlds a little brighter

To the strawberry ice cream

Come on, come on

Never ever end of all this love

Just get yourself inside her

Well I didnt mean to do it

But theres no escaping your love

Love Im in love

These lines of lightning

Mean were never alone,
Never alone, no, no
