So we stay in this mess this beautiful mess tonight And we don't have a thing to lose no matter what they say or do I don't want nothing more our love is untouchable Even in the line of fire when everything is on the wire Even up against the wall our love is untouchable Our love is untouchable! When the colours turn grey and the lights all fade to black again Water so deep how do we breathe how do we climb? So we stay in this mess this beautiful mess tonight 'Cause we don't have a thing to lose no matter what they say or do I don't want nothing more our love is untouchable Even in the line of fire when everything is on the wire Even up against the wall our love is untouchable Oooo Ooooo Oooo No! Even in the line of fire when everything is on the wire Even up against the wall our love is untouchable Our love is untouchable! ## Results Second Semi-Final1 Grand Final2Official partnerOfficial partnerOfficial lighting partnerOfficial sponsorOfficial partner ### The Eurovision Family Eurovision Song ContestJunior Eurovision Song ContestEurovision Young MusiciansEurovision Young DancersEurovision Choir of the YearTerms of UsePrivacy & Cookie PolicySupport© European Broadcasting Union 2002- 2017.All rights reserved.
