I need your touch, but your hands are locked away
I hear your voice, you’ve got nothing left to say
I’ll take this scar off my heart
I’ll take this bullet, I’ll take it for love
So if the lights in the sky come crashing down
I still can find your love even in the crowd
But will you remember me?
Will you remember my name? (Ooh-ooh)
Remember my name (Ooh-ooh)
Will you remember my name? (Oh-oh)
Remember my name
I love you, I love you, I love you
Remember my—
I love you, I love you, love you
Remember my name
I love you, I love you, love you
Remember my—
I love you, I love you, I love you
Remember my name
I need your kiss, but your lips are far away
So I have no choice, so I guess I’ll have to steal your love away
And I’ll take this scar from my heart, bang-bang
I take this bullet (Bang-bang), I take it for love (Bang-bang)
I take it for love (Bang-bang), I’ll take it for us
Will you remember my name? (My name, my name, my name)
Remember my name (My name, my name)
Will you remember my name? (My name, my name, my name)
Oh, remember my name (My name)
I love you, I love you, I love you
Remember my—
I love you, I love you, love you
Remember my name
I love you, I love you, love you
Remember my—
I love you, I love you, I love you
Remember my name
Floating above the clouds and sky, wishing upon a falling star
Hoping my love hasn’t forgotten my name
It’s automatic this attraction, this love is so strong
Two birds up above, baby, wishing we could float off
And we can fly higher, babe, higher babe
Higher babe, higher babe, higher babe
Just fly higher, babe, higher babe
Higher babe, higher babe
All gas, no breaks, I just wanna levitate
All gas, no breaks, I just wanna levitate
All gas, no breaks, I just wanna levitate
Just wanna levitate, I just wanna levitate
Will you remember my name? (My name, my name, my name, remember my name)
Remember my name (My name, my name, remember my name)
Will you remember my name? (Oh-oh, my name, my name)
Remember my name (My name)
Remember my—
Remember my name
Remember my—
Remember my name
