Lyrics

I had a   so big and  
I   so high I touched the clouds
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, wo-o-o-o-o-oh
I   my hands out to the sky
We   with monsters through the night
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, wo-o-o-o-o-oh

I'm never gonna look back
Woah, never gonna give it up
No, please don't wake me now

This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ife
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ife

I   at the moon with friends
And then the sun   crashing in
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, wo-o-o-o-o-oh
But all the  
No limits just epiphanies
Wo-o-o-o-o-oh, wo-o-o-o-o-oh

I'm never gonna look back
Woah, never gonna give it up
No, just don't wake me now

This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ife
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ife

I hear it calling   my window
I feel it in my soul (soul)
The stars were   so bright
The sun was out 'til  
I say we lose control (control)

This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ife
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ife
This is gonna be,
this is gonna be,
this is gonna be
The best day of my life
Everything is   up, everybody up now
This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ife

It's about escaping reality and entering into that dream world."
