[English]

I know sleep is friends with death but

maybe I should get some rest cuz I've

been out here working all damn

day blueberries and butterflies the

pretty things that greet my eyes when

you call and I say I'm on my way what

two you and me belong

together like cold ice tea and warm the

weather where we lay I laid underneath

the pines and we still have fall and so

shine you and me

belong together all the

time still in line homemade drinks we

throw a cheers the worries sink damn it

is so good to be

alive we know that we don't got much but

then again it's just enough to always

find a way for a good

time you and me belong together like

cold ice tea and warm the weather where

we lay our late underneath the pines and

we still have fun and the sun shine you

and me

belong together this love is all we

need well we've got so much you and me

oh you and me

belong together like cold iced tea and

water

a weather we lay out late underneath the

PES and we still have fall so on shine

you and they

belong together all the time goes on and

on and on goes on and on and on goes on

and on and on hey
