Lyrics[]
Fell from the sky
Fell from the sky
And started walking
Leaving our footprints on the ground
It might be a prayer
Or maybe a piece of conversation
Wherever we go we make a sound
So I call your name
The only thing I know
Is I need you
Or you'll be gone
Forever
All that I know
All that I know
Is we're here
Tonight
Turn up the lights
Let go for tonight baby
Let love in your life and be strong
Let go for tonight baby
Who needs sleep tonight?
I need to let go
Let go
Let go
Let go
Turn up the lights
Let love in your life baby
Who needs sleep tonight?
I wanna drive
I wanna drive into the open
Looking for reasons I can't find
So I call your name
The only thing I know
Is I need you
Or you'll be gone
Forever
What do you want?
I need you here or you'll be gone forever
All that I know
All that I know
Is we're here
Tonight
Turn up the lights
Let go for tonight baby
Let love in your life and be strong
Let go for tonight baby
Who needs sleep tonight?
I need to let go
Let go
Let go
Let go
Turn up the lights
Let love in your life baby
Who needs sleep tonight?

The music video starts out with Foxes and several other people sat in a white room at a white table. The song starts focusing on Foxes, and as the chorus swells, everyone begins throwing various food items and paint. This continues throughout the song, until the last bridge, in which Foxes runs out of the room (revealed to be a three-wall stand set up in a hilly field) and into a hilly field, followed by the others. Foxes ends the song being carried by a man.
