Lyrics

English

Too epic to be true
But here I am with you
The spark between us
Wrote the plot for us
Too epic to be true

Maybe this could be heaven
Maybe I'm just a fool
Maybe we're closer than we think
And I've got a clear view

When I said I loved you
I meant it
It's not so hard to believe it

(Chorus)
Maybe I am so reckless, I don't play by the rules
But we're closer than we think
And we've got the clear view

When I said I loved you
I meant it
It's not so hard to believe it

My life was uncontrolled
Pure rebel rock'n'roll
Before you came to me, like that

(Outro)
Too epic, too epic, too epic, epic to be true
Too epic, too epic, too epic, epic to be true
The spark between us, wrote the plot for us
Too epic to be true
