[Intro]
Helium, whoa-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1]
I wanna crawl up and get what I want
Got crystals on all my guns
Makin' it snow in the party with friends who I
I wanna stay up and stare through the sun
Blue pills in the battle gun
We're on a level, feelin' so right that it's so wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
We're gonna stay in the starlight for days
This is my song, baby, dance when it plays
Turn it up louder, yeah, turn it up louder
Yeah, turn it up, turn it up, turn it up (Wooh)
I want, I want, I want, I want, I want, I want love

[Chorus]
Wish I could stay in this moment forever
High on helium tonight
We'll take a hit and we take off together
High on helium tonight
Open up, feel the rubber to your lips
Take a deep breath, inhale, have a good trip
Wish I could stay in this moment forever
High on helium tonight

[Verse 2]
I wanna see silver sparks in my eyes
Feel like I could almost fly
Just take my hand, follow me, no need to ask me why
I wanna spin and let's dance 'til we die
Laughin' 'til we start to cry
Dance in the feeling with everybody by my side

[Pre-Chorus]
We're gonna stay in the starlight for days
This is my song, baby, dance when it plays
Turn it up louder, yeah, turn it up louder
Yeah, turn it up, turn it up, turn it up (Wooh)
I want, I want, I want, I want, I want, I want, I want love

[Chorus]
Wish I could stay in this moment forever
High on helium tonight
We'll take a hit and we take off together
High on helium tonight
Open up, feel the rubber to your lips
Take a deep breath, inhale, have a good trip
Wish I could stay in this moment forever
High on helium tonight

[Outro]
Wish I could stay like this forever
All night long, all night long
Wish I could stay like this forever
All night long, all night long
Helium, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Helium, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Wish I could stay in this moment forever
High on helium tonight

Charli XCX

Charlotte Emma Aitchison (born 2 August 1992), known professionally as Charli XCX, is an English singer-songwriter known for her eclectic style. She began making music at fourteen, and her debut release was a 2008 limited-edition album aptly titled 14.

By 2010, Charli signed to Atlantic Records, and released her debut single “Stay Away” in May 2011. She released her “real” debut album, True Romance, in 2013. The record met critical acclaim but failed to attain much commercial success. Charli’s true breakthrough came with the release of hit collaborations like Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and Icona Pop’s “I Love It.”

In April 2014, Charli found solo success with “Boom Clap,” which was featured on the soundtrack of The Fault in Our Stars. It’s now certified triple platinum in the United States and gold in her native United Kingdom. Her sophomore album, Sucker, was a pop-punk oriented effort and enjoyed more success than her debut. “Break The Rules,” “Doing It” (featuring Rita Ora), and “Famous” all performed well on the UK singles chart.
