[English]

A hundred days

I don't wanna see

During day

I just can't believe

Where did that go?

I need to know the deepest blame

I get sucked in

thinkin' of the sea

I talk to you

With my head up in the clouds

See that light shinin' through

Might be the moon

Givin' way throughout the night

Feel the night

When I'm daydreaming

When I'm daydreaming

Maybe we're just passin' through

Two souls venturin' into the new

The life before

whoever really knows

We live in truth

we got a different point of view

Common ground

of flowers bloom

Pink, yellow, red, and blue

Make it through the meadow

Make it oh, so simple, so simple

I talk to you

With my head up in the clouds

See that light shinin' through

Might be the moon

Givin' way throughout the night

Feel the night

When I'm daydreaming

When I'm daydreaming

When I'm daydreaming

When I'm daydreaming

When I'm daydreaming

When I'm daydreaming
