[Verse 1] Started out on training wheels Scripts and toys and sugar code Thought I knew what power was Till those angle brackets showed Manual dreams I hold the reins Pointer scars But I don't fold Closer to the metal pulse Every line a bar of gold [Chorus] C plus plus You got that rush Raw control inside my touch Other tongues feel slow and soft You just hit You lift me up C plus plus I feel that spark Template storms in glowing dark When it has to blaze and fly You're the one that never dies (oh yeah) [Verse 2] They say "stay safe Let go the wheel" I just laugh and override RAII romance Clean and clear Stack-frame flowers in my mind From tiny chips to towering clouds Same sharp soul in different skins One true core No training wheels Just pure speed beneath my grin (hey!) [Chorus] C plus plus You got that rush Raw control inside my touch Other tongues feel slow and soft You just hit You lift me up C plus plus I feel that spark Template storms in glowing dark When it has to blaze and fly You're the one that never dies [Bridge] Generics dressed in metal art Concept kisses Modern heart Move me Steal me Perfect fade Zero cost in every phrase Old-school soul and future shine We compile through space and time Love expressed in curly grace Every brace a warm embrace [Chorus] C plus plus You got that rush Raw control inside my touch Other tongues feel slow and soft You just hit You lift me up C plus plus I feel that spark Template storms in glowing dark When the world demands its prime You're my language for all time
