[English]

There's no way to time it

And where you may find it is unknown

Until then, you're a loner

So you see her

She's over in the corner

And you can't ignore her

There must be a reason

You see it, believe it now

Search the definition of shame

I'm sure you'll see my face

Who's gonna save me now?

I hope it's you, my babe

Don't change a thing, you are amazing

I can't believe you've come and saved me

We can stay here, spend every day here

I don't mind, no

Don't change a thing, you are amazing

I can't believe you've come and saved me

We can stay here, spend every day here

I don't mind

See her

She's over in the corner

And I can't ignore her

I hope there's a reason

To see it, I see it now

Search the definition of afraid

And I'm sure you'll see my face

Who's gonna save me now?

I hope it's you, my babe

Don't change a thing, you are amazing

I can't believe you've come and saved me

We can stay here, spend everyday dear

I wouldn't mind

Don't change a thing, you are amazing

I can't believe you've come and saved me

We can stay here, spend every day here

Oh, I don't mind, that's all right
