    Never Coming Down

    by: Brackles

    Yeah, yeah, yeah
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Come here yeah
    Something in your eyes
    Draws me in each and every time
    Losing focus
    No turning back
    Can't find the reason why
    It's too much, I'm taken
    Everyone else is right here
    I found it
    Find me in the clown space
    Come join me
    Cause I ain't leaving
    I'm not coming down from here
    Oh, I'm not coming down from here
    Oh, I'm not coming down from here
    Oh, I'm not coming down
    It's easy to let go
    If you control my mind
    And some now
    This world is enchanted
    I'll make a spell and I don't care
    We have got it
    It's simple to see that I have no fears
    Cause I'm free and I'm living
    I feed off this love that you're giving
    And I'm not coming down from here
    Oh, I'm not coming down from here
    Oh, I'm not coming down from here
    Oh, I'm not coming down
    Never would I do from this pain
    Hypnotized when I stare in to your face
    I found a love I can't replace
    And I'm not leaving
    And I'm not leaving
    And I'm not leaving
    And I'm not leaving
    And I'm not leaving
    I'm not coming down from here
    Oh, I'm not coming down from here
    Oh, I'm not coming down from here
    Oh, I'm not coming down
    I'm not coming down from here
    Oh, I'm not coming down from here
    Oh, I'm not coming down from here
    Oh, I'm not coming down
    I'm not coming down from here
    Oh, I'm not coming down from here
    Oh, I'm not coming down from here
    Oh, I'm not coming down
    And I'm not leaving
    And I'm not leaving
