Cannonball Lyrics by Emily James

Illuminate

2022

[Verse 1]
Corduroy jacket, vintage eyes
And when he touches me, I, I could die
Electric kiss, oh, when his lips get close
The current it takes me back when
[Pre-Chorus]
We were just friends on FaceTime
Who fell in love in the summertime
It's funny how it works like that
Now we're…
[Chorus]
Dancin' on the rooftop, stars surround me
City never felt so small
It's late, my baby won't stop staring at me
Sippin' on his alcohol
Move a little closer, hands around mе
Crashing like a cannonball
Crashing like a cannonball
[Verse 2]
Let's takе the fire escape, I'll lead the way
As long as you're by my side, I
Don't have to worry, there's no hurry
We've got hours 'til daylight, mm, right?
[Pre-Chorus]
I could do this forever
Don't wanna let a moment pass us by
If we just stay together
Now we're…
[Chorus]
Dancin' on the rooftop, stars surround me
City never felt so small
It's late, my baby won't stop staring at me
Sippin' on his alcohol
Move a little closer, hands around me
Crashing like a cannonball
Crashing like a cannonball
[Bridge]
And I wanna live in this forever
Gravity holding me, don't let go
And I wanna live in this forever
Gravity holding me, don't let go
[Chorus]
Dancin' on the rooftop, stars surround me
City never felt so small
It's late, my baby won't stop staring at me
Sippin' on his alcohol
Move a little closer, hands around me
Crashing like a cannonball
Crashing like a cannonball
