[English]

You said what are the chances

We'd find each other through all the madness

I don't need an answer

I've always heard that these things just happen

I know what you're feelin', I do

Because you know I'm feelin' it, too

No pill gets me higher than you

The hardest part is we ain't goin' home yet

How many people in the world out lookin' for a love like this tonight?

How many people in L.A. out there just searching for a sign?

How many people in the crowd and I still wind up by your side?

Never, never let you go, never, never let you go

We're two in a million, we're two in a million (Hey, hey)

We're two in a million, we're two in a million (Hey, hey)

We're two in a million

We're getting faster

I can't imagine wanting to slow down

Baby, you're getting closer

Testing the water, I wanna know how deep it goes

I know what you're feelin', I do

'Cause you know I'm feelin' it, too

No pill gets me higher than you

Hardest part is we ain't goin' home yet

How many people in the world out looking for a love like this tonight?

How many people in L.A. out there just searching for a sign?

How many people in the crowd and I still wind up by your side?

Never, never let you go, never, never let you go

We're two in a million, we're two in a million (Hey, hey)

We're two in a million, we're two in a million (Hey, hey)

We're two in a million
