[Verse 1]
Have you ever felt so strong
That it made you feel weak?
Long days, long nights and you just can't sleep
Have you ever been so sure
That it gave you cold feet?
That you felt on edge, you can feel your heart beat

[Chorus]
Well, I never knew this feeling, never
Now I hope it stays and lasts forever
I am riding high
Don't wanna come down
Hope my wings don't fail me now
If I can touch the sky
I'd risk the fall just to know how it feels to fly

[Refrain]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah

[Verse 2]
Have you ever felt so lost
But didn't know 'til you were found?
Looking everywhere, but you finally see now
In a room full of people
Feel like no one's around
Got your head in the clouds and your feet up off the ground

[Chorus]
Say, I never knew this feeling, never
Now I hope it stays and lasts forever
I am riding high
Don't wanna come down
Hope my wings don't fail me now
And if I can touch the sky
I'd risk the fall just to know how it feels to fly

[Bridge]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
We get to go (High)
Higher (High)
Higher
Higher

[Chorus]
I am riding high
Don't wanna come down
Hope my wings don't fail me now
If I can touch the sky
I'd risk the fall just to know how it feels to fly
I am riding high
Don't wanna come down
Hope my wings don't fail me now
If I can touch the sky
I'd risk the fall just to know how it feels to fly

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Forever
