[English]

One, two

Sometimes I don't wanna try

To calm the chaos inside

And I just let out a sigh

I just sigh, don't know why

But it feels right

Flowing free like the sea

I can just sit here and be

And only listen to me

It's just me

In this moment of the purest devotion

Shutting off my mind

Feel there is no time

When I arrive, right here

Everything is here, no need to try

Palms to the Earth because I feel her breathe

Syncing to a rhythm between I and she

It's the perfect design

Hm

Don't ask questions (ah-ah, ah)

When life's expressing

Itself through you, and speaking the truth

I said, don't ask questions (don't, don't)

Don't ask why

Da-ra-ra-de, da-ra-ra-de

Oh, eh, oh, ooh

Weo, weo, weo, weo (yeah, oh, oh)

Da-ra-ra-te, da-ra-ra-te

Oh, eh, oh, ooh

Weo, weo, weo (yeah)

Sometimes I don't wanna try

To calm the chaos inside

And I just let out a sigh

I just sigh, don't know why

But it feels right

Flowing free like the sea

I can just sit here and be

And only listen to me

It's just me

In this moment of the purest devotion

(Shutting off my mind)

(Feel there is no time) Oh, yeah

(When I arrive, right here)

(Everything is here, no need to try) Ooh

Palms to the Earth because I feel her breathe

Syncing to a rhythm between I and she

It's the perfect design
