Lyrics to 1000 Stars :
I'm breathing, in pieces
Just tasting, the feeling
All open, suggestions
Unspoken within
And it takes me to another place
The universe, the endless space above, above
And the world is like a mirror ball
I'm spinning in the afterglow of love
One thousand stars
One thousand breathes
One thousand voices singing
One thousand heart beats under my skin
This is where we begin, right here
Skin diving, slow motion
The colours are running
You call me, I'm coming
I'm taking it in
And it takes me to another place
The universe, the endless space above, above
And the world is like a mirror ball
I'm spinning in the afterglow of love
One thousand stars
One thousand breathes
One thousand voices singing
One thousand heart beats under my skin
This is where we begin, right here
One thousand stars
One thousand breathes
One thousand voices singing
One thousand heart beats under my skin
This is where we begin, right here
One thousand stars
One thousand breathes
One thousand voices singing
One thousand heart beats under my skin
This is where we begin, right here
I'm breathing, in pieces
Just tasting, the feeling
All open, suggestions
Unspoken within
And it takes me to another place
The universe, the endless space above, above
And the world is like a mirror ball
I'm spinning in the afterglow of love
One thousand stars
One thousand breathes
One thousand voices singing
One thousand heart beats under my skin
This is where we begin, right here
Skin diving, slow motion
The colours are running
You call me, I'm coming
I'm taking it in
And it takes me to another place
The universe, the endless space above, above
And the world is like a mirror ball
I'm spinning in the afterglow of love
One thousand stars
One thousand breathes
One thousand voices singing
One thousand heart beats under my skin
This is where we begin, right here
One thousand stars
One thousand breathes
One thousand voices singing
One thousand heart beats under my skin
This is where we begin, right here
One thousand stars
One thousand breathes
One thousand voices singing
One thousand heart beats under my skin
