[English]

Allow me, to the tips of your fingers. Allow me, to the heels of your feet, love. 

Dissolve me inside of your gaze. I never want to let you go.

Leave me bruises so I remember. Break me, bleed me dry until 

Not a single drop of me is left over. I want to drown in you

Until these falling stars fade, 'Til time buries all that remains. 

Through your lips, no matter how cold, Please read my soul. Oh, my soul.

Even if your words cut into me, Carving scars inside of my psyche, 

May they linger on your tongue. Just break me apart if you want.

Look at me and see how I'm hurting: Witness my pain and patch me up. 

Come and quiet my fears, tell me it's okay. Come let me drown in you.

So sick of these nights to come: the silence to which we've succumbed. 

Through your gaze, where I can be seen, Consume me. Yes, me, oh.

To this endless rhythm, We dance our valse a trois temps, 

With our story effaced In forever's embrace.

Until all these falling stars fade, 'Til times up and nothing remains, 

Through your lips, no matter how cold, Please read my soul, oh.

I'm so sick of these nights to come: This silence we can't seem to outrun.

Through your gaze where I'm finally seen, Consume all of me. Yes, me, oh.
