[English]
Dopamine pouring out, tall glasses to forget
I leave my body and go after it
Dopamine stumbling, there’s pleasure even in the debris
I trade the bad for the good it brings
Salt mouth, I know I deserve it
Don’t drown me now
I want everything at once
Dopamine, come back, morning’s about to hurt
Three coffees, to come back to life
Just now I was out somewhere else
And now I just want to get in
Salt mouth, I know I deserve it
Don’t drown me now
I want everything at once
Salt mouth, I know I deserve it
Don’t drown me now
I want everything at once
...
A ship by the river, took its cue and docked
And the city, actually, even let it go, didn’t care
Chanel No. 5, red wine, feeling the lipstick’s trace
She wants me to hold on, from these people, and I don’t even know if I’m still here
...
A ship by the river, took its cue and docked
And the city, actually, even let it go, didn’t care
Chanel No. 5, red wine, feeling the lipstick’s trace
She wants me to hold on, from these people, and I don’t even know if I’m still here
...
I want everything at once, I want everything at once
I want everything at once, I want everything at once
I want everything at once, I want everything at once
I want everything at once, I want everything at once
I want everything at once, I want everything at once
I want everything at once, I want everything at once
I want everything at once, I want everything at once
I want everything at once, I want everything at once
