[English]

I think we'll meet by the lake on a Tuesday

It's a long way chasing blue

I think I'll leave it to fate, what would you say?

I feel sick to tell the truth, why-

Tell the truth, why wouldn't you?

Your text just ruined everything, babe

I've just had a really bad day, and

(I) I am complicated

Not easy when I'm frustrated

Scramble into a ball

Take your exit, nice to know you

I am (I am) complicated (complicated)

Not easy when I'm frustrated

Scramble (scramble) into a ball (into a ball)

Take your exit, nice to know you

I think I'll wait in the rain outside your place

By the ocean, it's a doomsday

And if it ended today, what would you say?

I am not myself now, keep regretting everything

Accidents keep happening, why do I do it all?

If I saw a polar bear, then it would be too late

Let's just meet by the lake, at least just for my own sake

I am (I am) complicated (complicated)

Not easy when I'm frustrated

Scramble (scramble) into a ball (into a ball)

Take your exit, nice to know you

I am (I am) complicated (complicated)

Not easy when I'm frustrated

Scramble (scramble) into a ball (into a ball)

Take your exit, nice to know you

I am (I am) more complicated (complicated)

Not easy when I'm frustrated

Scramble (scramble) into a ball (into a ball)

Take your exit, nice to know you
