[Verse 1]
Life is like a fairground ride
Up and up, and blinded by the lights
Carousel keeps spinning 'round, faster and faster
But I don't ever want to stop
Don't want to get my bubble popped
I'm losing all reality, I don't care
But now I'm standing on my own
And I'm in someone else's clothes
The darkness is a gaping hole, keeps going under
Thought this was a good idea
Thought that I could have no fears
My body is in overload
Let me go

[Chorus]
Felt like flying
Now I'm crying
But oh, what the hell did I get myself into?
What the hell did I get myself into?
What the hell, what the hell?
Woah-a-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]
I wish that I had a time machine
I could turn up all of the TV screens
I would keep running, and running away
Further and further every day
And now I'm on my own
Friends keep trying to call my phone
I told them that I'd never change, I was wrong

[Chorus]
Felt like flying
Now I'm crying
But oh, what the hell did I get myself into?
What the hell did I get myself into?
What the hell, what the hell?
Woah-a-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Bridge]
Somebody get me back into reality
Somebody pull me back under
I kinda like it up here in the galaxy
Hiding, I will not be found, found
Tears of crystal fall down from my face
Losing my mind, losing my mind
You got my heart
I'm gone

[Chorus]
Felt like flying
Now I'm crying
But oh, what the hell did I get myself into?
What the hell did I get myself into?
What the hell, what the hell?
Woah-a-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Outro]
What the hell, what the hell?
What the hell?
What the hell, what the hell?
What the hell, hell?

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.
