United State of Pop 2012 (Shine Brighter) Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Aw, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ho

[Verse 1]
Never had much faith in love or miracles
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, hey)
Yeah, I was dreaming for, for too long
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ho)
There's no religion that could save me
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
So I let it all go
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
How did I read the stars so wrong?

(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
And I can't believe you don't know
(Remember it) Which way is right
Which way is wrong

And you should know that
It ain't hard to tell
You don't know (Remember it)
So come on (Oh, come on)

[Chorus]
Let's set the world on fire tonight
I hear your heartbeat tonight
We could burn brighter
Shine bright
Carry me home tonight (Ho)
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I was in the dark
Looking for somebody
(Aw, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, hey)
Still stuck in that time I used to know
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
And I'm not sleeping now (And I'm not sleeping now)
I'm wide awake, I'll be waking up
I get a feeling I am born again
I can't wait to see the light
I'm born again tonight
And I can't believe
You don't know (Remember it)
All those fairytales are full of it
They were never true, never true
It ain't hard to tell
You don't know (Remember it)
So come on (So co-come on)

[Chorus]
Let's set the world on fire tonight
I hear your heartbeat tonight
We could burn brighter
Shine bright
Carry me home tonight
(Eh-eh, eh-eh-eh, eh)
I set fire tonight
I'm letting go tonight
Let's make the most of the night
Dancing to the beat of the drums
In the sky (Hey)
[Bridge]
Carry me home tonight (Baby)
Just carry me home tonight
(My universe will never be the same)
Carry me home tonight
(Try to chase me)
Will someone come and carry me home?
Tonight (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Aw, yeah-yeah) And it feels like I am
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Somebody that I used to know
I like crazy, foolish, stupid
Gangnam Style-fist pumping music
Two-Oh-One-Two's it, how we do’z it
I gotta say that but the music
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Let’s do this one more time

[Chorus]
Let's set the world on fire tonight
I hear your heartbeat tonight
We could burn brighter
Footsteps even lighter than the sun
(Eh-eh, eh-eh-eh, eh)
I set fire tonight
Starships were meant to fly (Oh-whoa)
Let's do this one last time
Let's make the most of the night
Dancing to the beat of the drums
In the sky (Eh-eh, eh-eh-eh, eh)
Let's set the world on fire tonight
Can't stop 'cause we’re so high (Oh-whoa)
Let's do this one last time (Let it burn)
Let’s make the most of the night
Dancing to the beat of the drums
In the sky
[Outro]
Spend the rest of my days here
I’ll carry you home tonight

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
