[English]

Tell me when you leave

You won’t take off that necklace

That I got for you

Couple weeks back in Paris

Let’s just drive in circles

For hours no exits

Can we keep pretending?

That nothing’s gonna change

And we can stay like this forever

I don’t wanna say bye to ya

I don’t wanna let a good night slip away

Whole car ride crying

I try and I try but I just can’t say it

I don’t wanna say bye to ya

Wish that holding you would never have to end

So I keep driving

I try and I try but I just can’t say it

Text me when you land

And you’re home in the Midwest

I’ll be going through

All our pictures, I’m obsessed

Don’t even know when I’ll see you again

Oh, I know it’s getting late

But can we stay like this forever?

I don’t wanna say bye to ya

I don’t wanna let a good night slip away

Whole car ride crying

I try and I try but I just can’t say it

I don’t wanna say bye to ya

Wish that holding you would never have to end

So I keep driving

I try and I try but I just can’t say it

You and me could spend all night

Cruisin’ down the A1 Parisian lights

Wouldn’t have to say goodbye

Forget that 8:20 flight

I don’t wanna say bye to ya

I don’t wanna let a good night slip away

Whole car ride crying

I try and I try but I just can’t say it

I don’t wanna say bye to ya

Wish that holding you would never have to end

So I keep driving

I try and I try but I just can’t say it
