[English]

Double blind

Recognising (Oh)

You anchor me

Even though we go wild

What it is, baby

I don't wanna fall, but tell me, would you jump from here?

I'm ready to dive

Following your orders, show me what you want from me

...

If the world stops turning

After we let it go

Hold me as we're burning

After we let it go wrong

Oh, give it to me

You can get it all day

Make sure we're committed in the worst way

Even though we go wild, feel me

I can feel your earthquake

Make sure that you do me in the worst way

Even though we go wild

What it is, baby

I don't wanna fall, but tell me would you jump from here?

I'm ready to dive

Following your orders, show me what you want from me

If the world stops turning

After we (let it go) let it go

Hold me as we're burning

After we (let it go) let it go wrong (if the world stops turning)

If the world stops turning

After we (let it go) let it go

(Hold me as we're burning) Hold me as we're burning

After we let it go wrong

If the world stops turning

After we let it go (stops turning after we, yeah)

Hold me as we're burning

After we let it go wrong

...
