Lyrics:

Stranded and I'm so lost, my mind is wired

Overcome and overdone, my fate is on fire

Eat the drugs and dance to screaming in my head

I'm so happy that we're friends, me and you

I never feel invisible when you're around

With you, I don't blend in with the millions

Together in the light, I swear all for you

Tonight in the dark, we're seeing colors

Hey, I'm just like you

A little messed up and blue

Hey, I'm just like you

Not sure what the fuck I'm to do

We're headstrong tonight (Tonight, tonight)

Racing through the streets 'til we fly

Gold-colored prisms of light (The light, the light)

Headstrong tonight

Sometimes you get so tired of pretending like you're so strong

Everyone you love has gone and decided that you're so wrong

I always feel invincible when you're around

You and me against the millions

Together in the light, I swear all for you

Tonight in the dark, we're seeing colors

Hey, I'm just like you

A little messed up and blue

Hey, I'm just like you

Not sure what the fuck I'm to do

We're headstrong tonight (Tonight, tonight)

Racing through the streets 'til we fly

Gold-colored prisms of light (The light, the light)

Headstrong tonight

We're headstrong tonight (Tonight, tonight)

Racing through the streets 'til we fly

Gold-colored prisms of light (The light, the light)

Headstrong tonight
