[Intro]
(Oh-oh)
(Oh-oh)

[Verse 1]
I am in love with what we are
Not what we should be
And I am, I am starstruck with every part
Of this whole story (Oh-oh)
So, if it's just tonight
The animal inside
Let it live and die (Oh-oh)
Like it's the end of time
Like everything inside
Let it live and die

[Chorus]
This is our last chance
Give me your hand
'Cause our world is spinning at the speed of light
The night is fading
Heart is racing
Now just come and love me like we're gonna die
Oh-oh

[Verse 2]
I'm not asleep, I'm up for the fight
Into the magic
And I don't want the concrete, I am alive
Comes with the tragic (Oh-oh)
So, if it's just tonight (Oh-oh)
The animal inside (Oh-oh)
Let it live and die

[Chorus]
This is our last chance
Give me your hand
'Cause our world is spinning at the speed of light
The night is fading
Heart is racing
Now just come and love me like we're gonna die
Oh-oh

[Bridge]
(Oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)

[Chorus]
This is our last chance
Give me your hand
'Cause our world is spinning at the speed of light
(It's at the speed of light)
The night is fading
Heart is racing
Now just come and love me like we're gonna die
Oh-oh

[Outro]
(Oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)

Kesha

Kesha Rose Sebert, whose mononymous stage name was previously spelled Ke$ha, is an American singer-songwriter best known for hits like “Tik Tok” and “Praying.” Her mother, Pebe Sebert is also a songwriter, and the two have worked together on songs like “Learn to Let Go.”

In 2005, at age eighteen, Kesha signed a record deal with Dr. Luke’s Kemosabe Records. Her first major recording was an uncredited feature on Flo Rida’s 2009 hit “Right ‘Round,” which she recorded after walking into a session between Flo and Dr. Luke. She released her debut album, Animal, the next year, after choosing from hundreds of songs, and the record debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Lead single “Tik Tok” broke the record for the longest time for a female artist’s debut single to top the Billboard Hot 100.

Nine months after Animal dropped, Kesha rereleased it alongside Cannibal, an extended play featuring hits like “We R Who We R,” which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and “Blow.” In February 2011, Kesha kicked off her Get Sleazy Tour, which travelled through the Americas, Europe, and Australia. During the tour, she began writing for her sophomore album, Warrior, which was released in November 2012. She then embarked on a world tour, and was joined by future “Timber” collaborator Pitbull on the North American leg.
