[Verse 1]
I had a dream, or was it real?
We crossed the line and it was on, we crossed the line
It was on this time
I've been denying how I feel
You've been denying what you want, you want from me
Talk to me, baby

[Pre-Chorus]
I want some satisfaction, take me to the stars (Hey)
Just like ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

[Chorus]
I wanna cut through the clouds, break the ceiling
I wanna dance on the roof, you and me alone
I wanna cut to the feeling, oh yeah
I wanna cut to the feeling, oh yeah (Woo)
I wanna play where you play with the angels
I wanna wake up with you all in tangles, oh
I wanna cut to the feeling, oh yeah
I wanna cut to the feeling, oh yeah

[Verse 2]
Cancel your reservations
No more hesitations, this is on, can't make it stop
Give me all you got
I want it all or nothing
No more in-between, now give your everything to me
Let's get real, baby

[Pre-Chorus]
A chemical reaction, take me in your arms (Hey)
And make me ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

[Chorus]
I wanna cut through the clouds, break the ceiling
I wanna dance on the roof, you and me alone
I wanna cut to the feeling, oh yeah
I wanna cut to the feeling, oh yeah (Woo)
I wanna play where you play with the angels
I wanna wake up with you all in tangles, oh
I wanna cut to the feeling, oh yeah
I wanna cut to the feeling, oh yeah (Yeah, yeah)

[Bridge]
(Hey, woo)
(C'mon) Take me to emotion (Hey)
I want to go all the way (All the way)
Show me devotion and take me all the way
Take me to emotion (Take me, take me)
I want to go all the way
Show me devotion (Take me, take me)
And take me all the way (Take me, take me)
All the way, all the way, all the way
Take me all the way (Ah-ah-ah)

[Chorus]
I wanna cut through the clouds, break the ceiling
I wanna dance on the roof, you and me alone
I wanna cut to the feeling (Oh), oh yeah
I wanna cut to the feeling (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah), oh yeah (Woo)
I wanna play where you play with the angels
I wanna wake up with you all in tangles (Yeah), oh
I wanna cut to the feeling, oh yeah
I wanna cut to the feeling, oh yeah

[Outro]
I wanna cut through the clouds
Mmm, cut to the feeling
I wanna dance on the roof, oh-oh-oh, yeah
I wanna cut to the feeling, I wanna cut to the feeling
I wanna cut to the feeling, I wanna cut to the feeling

Carly Rae Jepsen is a Canadian singer and songwriter. Born in 1985, she first came to fame by finishing in third place on the TV show Canadian Idol. Shortly afterwards, she released her debut album, Tug Of War, including the Canadian top 40 singles “Tug Of War” and “Bucket.”

Three years later, she released the single “Call Me Maybe” and planned to follow it with what would have been her second album, Curiosity. However, after the song caught the ear of fellow Canadian, Justin Bieber, he referred her to his manager, Scooter Braun, which led to her signing an international deal with Interscope Records. Before long, it became one of 2012’s most enduring hits, racking up over a billion YouTube views and topping the charts in 21 countries, including the US and Canada. The aforementioned Curiosity album was cut down to EP length, and work continued on her eventual sophomore LP, Kiss. Released in September 2012, it also featured the Owl City collaboration “Good Time”, which reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Jepsen returned in March 2015 with “I Really Like You,” the lead single from her third studio album. The song received a more muted reception than her breakout hit–although it did reach #2 in the United Kingdom–and consequently, the album, E•MO•TION, failed to make a substantial impact chartwise. Despite this, the album drew in a new wave of fans with its more experimental and mature sound; such was the amount of praise among both the public and critics that a follow-up EP of album outtakes–E•MO• Side B–was released on the album’s first anniversary.
