[English]

Digital day-dream

Spinnin' out

I can't tell you if you are here or not around

Is it a mirage I see

Standing right next to me?

I feel it now

As the fever in my body ripples down

This love is such a limerence, baby

And I don't wanna come down safely

So we call to relapse, want nothin' more

Are we just fools in a void, going back and forth? (I)

Fall through the cracks onto your couch, what am I to do?

I can't be with you, but can't go without

You don't even get it, you're all I see

Feels like we're two ghosts in the cemetery

Dancin' with the angels under our feet

And to think we were stuck in purgatory

You read me like a poem, and it makes me weak

To think that there is someone who really sees

My never-ending sadness through opacity

How did I find such a digital daydream?

Cinema

Did you know it's s what you've made my mind became?

Such a rom-comedy

Playin' in my head for free

But I need you now

I'm nothing without your sound

Piercin' through me

So I'll stay by this payphone waitin'

You don't even get it, you're all I see

Feels like we're two ghosts in the cemetery

Dancin' with the angels under our feet

And to think we were stuck in purgatory

You read me like a poem, and it makes me weak

To think that there is someone who really sees

My never-ending sadness through opacity

How did I find such a digital daydream?

You're such a, you're such a (digital, digital)

You're such a, you're such a (digital day-)

You're such a, you're such a (digital, digital day-dream)

(Digital)

...

Looking through a glass that never breaks

It just reflects the empty space

How could we ever call this fate

When half in love and half in pain?

Is this too much to say so soon?

Am I projecting onto you?

Ooh, just forget it, let's resume

'Cause if you spin me 'round, I'll spin you

Don't say that I'm a fool, in paradise with you

If you spin me 'round, I'll spin you on a digital

...
