[English]

All that I know

Is that you're scared in the dark

Feeling pressed onto mine is bones intertwined

The touch of my lips

Will climb down to kiss

Your head to your thighs

Explosions arise

But no one's made me feel the way you do

When your body is next to mine [Chorus]

This is the sound of my heart

Blowing up, blowing up

I feel it all building up, building up

Yeah my head is spinning

My body is screaming out for you, you This is the sound of my heart

Blowing up, blowing up

I feel it all building up, building up

Yeah my head is spinning

My body is screaming out for you, you We take our sweet time

From dust 'till sunrise

Your heart is beating out with each single touch

Your scream fills the night

And this feeling inside

You're feeling the love, the lust,

The skin on our bones become one

Oh, but no one's made me feel the way you do

When your body's next to mine [Chorus]

This is the sound of my heart

Blowing up, blowing up

I feel it all building up, building up

Yeah my head is spinning

My body is screaming out for you, you This is the sound of my heart

Blowing up, blowing up

I feel it all building up, building up

Yeah my head is spinning

My body is screaming out for you, you So when she blows in the door

There is a fire in me

She really set it off

I feel it burning free

You got inside of my head

It brought me down to my knee

You lit the fuse now where's the spark

I'm chasing down the line

I hope you're waiting for me [Chorus]

This is the sound of my heart

Blowing up, blowing up

I feel it all building up, building up

Yeah my head is spinning

My body is screaming out for you, you This is the sound of my heart

Blowing up, blowing up

I feel it all building up, building up

Yeah my head is spinning

My body is screaming out for you, you
