Lyrics[]
[Steven Mertens & Lana Del Rey]:
I was fly like railroad ties when I'm with you
In an ocean deep and wide when I'm with you
Everything's a little brighter
Everything's a little warmer
When I'm with you
[Lana Del Rey & Steven Mertens]:
I was fly like railroad ties when I'm with you
Mmm, I'm with you
Everything's a little brighter, mm
Everything's a little warmer
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
A little brighter
Everything's a little brighter
Everything's a little brighter
Everything's a little brighter
