[English]

Waking up in your bed

It's almost like I've been here forever

I'm obsessed with your brain

And I'd unfold it if you let me

What if we move to Canada

And buy some things we don't need?

Bring your mother's dog

Your paintbrush and some candy

And when they talk about those

People who up and leave

That could be us

That could be you and me

How you talk with your hands

And how you're sad like a movie

And we got luck so bad we have to laugh

I guess we're lucky that we don't need much outside of us, do we?

What if we move to Canada

And buy some things we don't need?

Bring your mother's dog

Your paintbrush and some candy

And when they talk about those

People who up and leave

That could be us

That could be you and me

Ah, that could be you and me

Ah, that could be you and me

Ah, that could be you and me

Ah

So why don't we move to Canada

And buy some things we don't need?

Bring your mother's dog

Your paintbrush and some candy?

And when they talk about those

People who up and leave

That could be us

That could be you and me

Move to Canada

And buy some things we don't need

Bring your mother's dog

Your paintbrush and some candy

And when they talk about those

People who up and leave

That could be us

That could be you and me

That could be you and me
