[English]

Diving deep in the woods

Plant my feet where you stood

I get lost in your mind

Come and find me

Hear your voice, are you there?

Through the trees, fill the air

Follow me, I won't leave

Stay beside me

'Cause girl, I need it

Bad as breathing

Keep me here, never lemme go, lemme go

All I want is to be close to you

Baby, I

I know I met you in another life

You're unforgettable

It's like you're my dream, my déjà vu, a ghost

You'll be right there wherever I go

I...

Diving deep in the woods

Plant my feet where you stood

I get lost in your mind

It's exciting

Shadows climb up the stairs

Hold them 'til you're not scared

Promise you I'll be there

Come and find me

I want your body

On my body

All the way, yeah, I'm letting go, letting go

All I want is to be close to you

Baby, I

I know I met you in another life

You're unforgettable

It's like you're my dream, my déjà vu, a ghost

You'll be right there wherever I go

I...

I know where you hide, and

I'll go deep in the woods

I know where you hide, and

I'll go deep in the woods

'Cause girl, I need it

Bad as breathing

Keep me here, never lemme go, lemme go

All I want is to be close to you

Baby, I

I know I met you in another life

You're unforgettable

It's like you're my dream, my déjà vu, a ghost

You'll be right there wherever I go

I...

...
