[English]

Mine, immaculate dream made breath and skin

I've been waiting for you

Signed with a home tattoo

"Happy birthday to you" was created for you

(Can't ever keep from falling apart at the seams)

(Can I believe you're taking my heart to pieces?)

Ah, it'll take a little time

Might take a little crime to come undone

Now we'll try to stay blind to the hope and fear outside

Hey child, stay wilder than the wind and blow me in to cry

Who do you need?

Who do you love?

When you come undone

Who do you need?

Who do you love?

When you come undone

...

Words, playing me deja vu

Like a radio tune, I swear I've heard before

Chill, is it something real?

Or the magic I'm feeding off your fingers

(Can't ever keep from falling apart at the seams)

(Can I believe you're taking my heart to pieces?)

Lost, in a snow filled sky

We'll make it alright to come undone

Now we'll try to stay blind to the hope and fear outside

Hey child, stay wilder than the wind and blow me in to cry

Who do you need?

Who do you love?

When you come undone

Who do you need?

Who do you love?

When you come undone

(Can't ever keep from falling apart)

Who do you need?

Who do you love?

When you come undone

(Can't ever keep from falling apart)

Who do you need?

Who do you love?

(Can't ever keep from falling apart)

Who do you love?

When you come undone

(Can't ever keep from falling apart)
