[English]

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere

Maybe I stare too much, maybe not long enough

Funny how I forget to blink

When you let down your hair, dancin' like no one's there

I know I'm where I'm supposed to be

Say, "I love you" under my breath

More times than you can digest

Music every time I hear your name, oh

Your head's layin' right on my chest

Sun's up, but I still ain't got no rest

Don't wanna close my eyes, I'm scared I'll miss too much

Don't wanna fall asleep, I'd rather fall in love

When I can't feel you, I feel out of touch

Two seconds without you's like two months

Don't wanna close my eyes, I'm scared I'll miss too much

Don't wanna fall asleep, I'd rather fall in love

'Cause eternity with you ain't long enough

Two seconds without you's like two months

And that's too much

Love the way you love your mom

Take on all your friends problems

Still somehow stop the world for us, oh-oh

I still relieve that second

I made my biggest blessing

Prayed for you, look what God has turned

Say, "I love you" under my breath

More times than you can digest

Music every time I hear your name, oh

Your head's layin' right on my chest

Sun's up, but I still ain't got no rest

Don't wanna close my eyes, I'm scared I'll miss too much

Don't wanna fall asleep, I'd rather fall in love

When I can't feel you, I feel out of touch

Two seconds without you's like two months

Don't wanna close my eyes, I'm scared I'll miss too much

Don't wanna fall asleep, I'd rather fall in love

'Cause eternity with you ain't long enough

Two seconds without you's like two months

And that's too much
