[English]

I can make you feel it closer, baby, one more time (one more time)

I can really feel you closing in, I stayed outside (stayed outside)

I love, I love, I love, no matter how, how much they take (how much they take)

Something tells me we were chosen, so we keep on trying (keep on trying)

She said I'm dumb, surrounded by strangers

When I hear your voice, I'm in too deep

Feeling undone, I can't be the only one

I wanna be forever young

...

I can make you feel it closer, baby, one more time (yeah)

...

...

Cigarettes, cigarettes, sling it in the west

I've got nothin' in my vest (in my vest)

Intimate, intimate, sling it in my chest

May you never lay to rest (lay to rest, lay to rest)

We got here just in time (yeah)

Don't get lost in this life

Levitate, levitate (levitate, levitate)

Like an atom, separate (like an atom, separate)

Elaborate, elaborate (elaborate)

Been a long time, I could see it on the paint (yeah)

I could see it on the paint

I could see it on the paint

Yeah, yeah (ooh, yeah)
