"On the Other Side of the Crowd"

I see you across the sea of faces
Your smile hits hard, my heartbeat races
There's something magic, hanging in the air
Electric sparks and a silent prayer

And when you're near, time slows its pace
Each second burns, I can't replace
Don't want a moment that fades and dies
I want your fire, your light, your sky

It's an explosion, a fever so loud
In your arms I’m alive, lost in the sound
We dance by the moon, forget all our pain
The beat takes us over, again and again!

We've had too much, the world's gone wild
The suits keep lying, greedy and vile
And we’re the ones left picking up the tab
Toasting this life that moves so fast

We could lose it all, the world might break
But side by side, it's ours to take
This bond we share is strong and true
In your arms, I see what's real in you

The ground is shaking, music lifts us high
We move as one, no need to try
Our eyes connect, a spark, a sign
This fleeting moment feels divine

It's an explosion, a fever so loud
In your arms I’m alive, lost in the sound
We dance by the moon, forget all our pain
The beat takes us over, again and again!

We’ve drunk too much, the world’s a mess
While fat cats feed with no regrets
We raise our glass to days gone by
To dreams that fade but never die

The same old lies on every screen
But here and now, we’re breaking free
Tonight we live, we fight, we shine
This is our moment, our own lifeline

Neon lights blur on streets below
A shadow moves, a face I know
In this quiet city, my thoughts drift far
Chasing a wish, a fallen star

It's an explosion, a fever so loud
In your arms I’m alive, lost in the sound
We dance by the moon, forget all our pain
The beat takes us over… again and again!
