Attitude – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Maybe I act on confused behavior

Maybe waves crash like semi-trailer

Maybe I'll spend my off-time without you

It seems like we need our own space

And all this time I've wasted away

To not feel good unless you stay, stay, stay

And all this time I've chased you away

Simply to catch back up with

Your solitude is welcome, welcome

Your attitude is welcome, welcome

Your solitude is welcome, welcome

Your attitude is welcome

All you see is red lights behind me

Maybe this isn't what you wanted, baby

And I don't blame you falling backwards

No one's ever quite confused you this way

And all this time we wasted away

Don't feel good unless we're gray

And all the times I chased you away

I simply don't feel good

Your solitude is welcome, welcome

Your attitude is welcome, welcome

Your solitude is welcome, welcome

Your attitude is welcome

You are welcome

You are welcome

You are welcome

You are welcome

All this time, we heard alarms

Come to find, we fell apart

This whole thing has crashed down, crashed down

All this time, we heard alarms

Your solitude is welcome, welcome

Your attitude is welcome, welcome

Your solitude is welcome, welcome

Your attitude is welcome

You are welcome

You are welcome

You are welcome

You are welcome

Welcome, welcome

Welcome, welcome

Welcome, welcome
