Walking on a dream How can I explain Talking to myself Will I see again We are always running for the thrill of it thrill of it Always pushing up the hill searching for the thrill of it On and on and on we are calling out and out again Never looking down I'm just in awe of what's in front of me Is it real now When two people become one I can feel it When two people become one Thought I'd never see The love you found in me Now it's changing all the time Living in a rhythm where the minutes working overtime We are always running for the thrill of it thrill of it Always pushing up the hill searching for the thrill of it On and on and on we are calling out and out again Never looking down I'm just in awe of what's in front of me Is it real now When two people become one I can feel it When two people become one Is it real now When two people become one I can feel it When two people become one Catch me I'm falling down Catch me I'm falling down Don't stop just keep going on I'm your shoulder lean upon So come on deliver from inside All we got is tonight that is right 'till first light Is it real now When two people become one I can feel it When two people become one Is it real now When two people become one I can feel it When two people become one
