[English]

Don’t stress about it, honey, casual feelings, shimmers of light

Tastes just like a daydream, drinking my coffee and so far

I’ve been unsure of my own emotions

Look and you’ll find a real roller coaster

Something that people really crave their whole life long

Could it be magic ‘cause it’s more than I can imagine

Been falling for you for a long time

You just swim out, swim out, swim on, baby

But imma pause here if you don’t mind

I can’t tell if you want me in the same way

I’ve been unsure of you ‘cause I’m nervous

Look and you’ll find my heart on the surface

Something that people really crave their whole life long

Could it be magic ‘cause it’s more than I can imagine

And I’m sinking into the feeling that we could be so much more

I’m not who I was before, could it be magic?

And my world keeps turning I can’t explain it, honey

Only know for sure that I’m all yours

Could it be magic ‘cause it’s more than I can imagine

And I’m sinking into the feeling that we could be so much more

I’m not who I was before, could it be magic?
