[English]

I'm saying I'm here you're here this is

a big romantic wedding why don't we just

dance and have a great time and then

when it's over never see each other

again

unless no one laughs no emails no phone

tarnished

and then enrolled in Gray we'll look

back on this night and it'll be perfect
