[English]

I've been trying real hard to realize

But some things take a long, long

Long, long time

Long time

Hold the phone, hit repeat

Got me foaming at the knees

Saw the flame, tasted sin

You burned me once again

Cut the cord, she's a creep

Aberdeen

Way back

Way back

Way back

Never saw my dark side in, in your eyes

Back and forth, bloody fingers

Painting up the sky

The sky

Hold the phone, hit repeat

Got me foaming at the knees

Saw the flame, tasted sin

You burned me once again

Cut the cord, she's a creep

Aberdeen

Way back

Way back

Way back

Hold the phone, hit repeat

Got me foaming at the knees

Saw the flame, tasted sin

You burned me once again

Cut the cord, she's a creep

Aberdeen,

Aberdeen

Way back

Way back

Way back

Way back

Way back

Way back

Way back

Way back

Way back

Way back

Way back

Way back

Way back

Way back

Way back
