I'm going back to 505 00:12
If it's a seven-hour flight or a 45-minute drive 00:16
In my imagination, you're waiting lying on your side 00:23
With your hands between your thighs 00:30
00:35
Stop and wait a sec' 00:40
Oh, when you look at me like that, my darling, what did you expect? 00:43
I'd probably still adore you with your hands around my neck 00:51
Or I did last time I checked 00:57
01:02
Not shy of a spark 01:08
A knife twists at the thought that I should fall short of the mark 01:11
Frightened by the bite, though it's no harsher than the bark 01:18
The middle of adventure is such a perfect place to start 01:25
I'm going back to 505 01:34
If it's a seven-hour flight or a 45-minute drive 01:38
In my imagination, you're waiting lying on your side 01:45
With your hands between your thighs 01:52
01:57
But I crumble completely when you cry 02:28
It seems like once again you've had to greet me with goodbye 02:33
I'm always just about to go and spoil a surprise 02:40
Take my hands off of your eyes too soon 02:47
02:52
I'm going back to 505 02:56
If it's a seven-hour flight or a 45-minute drive 03:00
In my imagination, you're waiting lying on your side 03:07
With your hands between your thighs and a smile 03:14

[English]

I'm going back to 505
If it's a seven-hour flight or a 45-minute drive
In my imagination, you're waiting lying on your side
With your hands between your thighs

Stop and wait a sec'
Oh, when you look at me like that, my darling, what did you expect?
I'd probably still adore you with your hands around my neck
Or I did last time I checked

Not shy of a spark
A knife twists at the thought that I should fall short of the mark
Frightened by the bite, though it's no harsher than the bark
The middle of adventure is such a perfect place to start
I'm going back to 505
If it's a seven-hour flight or a 45-minute drive
In my imagination, you're waiting lying on your side
With your hands between your thighs

But I crumble completely when you cry
It seems like once again you've had to greet me with goodbye
I'm always just about to go and spoil a surprise
Take my hands off of your eyes too soon

I'm going back to 505
If it's a seven-hour flight or a 45-minute drive
In my imagination, you're waiting lying on your side
With your hands between your thighs and a smile
