[English]

He knows me better than most people do

He answers every question with so much patience

He's my direction, nervously closin'

I think that he knows that

I've been pacing in my room, just thinking about how

Every time we speak, I always spill my heart out

When I'm with him, it doesn't feel so odd

Doesn't feel like silence, feel as it's crazy

Is anybody out there watching me fall in love, love, love?

And see, what I see, see, see? He's too good for me, me, me

Hey, anybody out there? Tell me, this boy is mine, mine, mine

So I can believe, 'lieve, 'lieve, too good, it can't be, be, be

Is anybody out there, somewhere, listenin' to me?

...

Does she know who she's all that's on my mind?

I've never known to be this sure

With what's going on in my life (yeah)

But could it be that I should wait?

I don't know how much I could take, I wonder, I'm lost without her

'Cause lately she's been waking up past afternoon (oh)

I think she's been thinkin' of what I'm thinkin' too (ooh)

She'll stay in her duvet, while I keep thinking of her

Is anybody out there watching me fall in love, love, love?

And see, what I see, see, see? She's too good for me, me, me

Hey, anybody out there? Tell me, this girl is mine, mine, mine

So I can believe, 'lieve, 'lieve, too good, it can't be, be, be

Is anybody out there, somewhere, listenin' to me?
