[English]

Waves, they're pushing you away

And I'd do anything to stay

To take the weight off of your shoulders (shoulders)

Yeah, time (time)

Is not a friend of mine

'Cause in the blink of an eye

We'll be divided by ocean

USA, Tokyo, Amsterdam, Mexico

Oh-oh, oh, oh

Anywhere that you go, I just wanna let you know

Oh-whoa-oh, oh, oh, oh

No place is ever too far

Home is wherever you are

I'll follow you, follow you right out to the edge of the Earth

However, we make it work as soon as you say the word

I'll follow you, follow you right out to the edge of the Earth

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh

Right out to the edge of the Earth

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh

Life can take you by surprise

But if I've got you by my side

We can ride every emotion

Oh, USA, Tokyo, Byron Bay, Paris, Rome

Oh-oh, oh, oh

Anywhere that you go, I just wanna let you know

Oh-whoa-oh, oh

No place is ever too far

Home is wherever you are

I'll follow you, follow you right out to the edge of the Earth

However, we make it work as soon as you say the word

I'll follow you, follow you right out to the edge of the Earth

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh

Right out to the edge of the Earth

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh

To the edge, to the edge, to the edge, to the edge of the Earth

To the edge, to the edge, to the edge, to the edge of the Earth

I'll follow you, follow you

USA, Tokyo, Amsterdam, Mexico

To the edge, to the edge, to the edge, to the edge of the Earth

Oh-oh, oh, oh

Anywhere that you go, I just wanna let you know

To the edge, to the edge, to the edge, to the edge of the Earth

Oh-whoa-oh, oh

No place is ever too far

Home is wherever you are

I'll follow you, follow you right out to the edge of the Earth

However, we make it work as soon as you say the word

I'll follow you, follow you right out to the edge of the Earth

USA, Tokyo, Amsterdam, Mexico (oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)

Right out to the edge of the Earth

Anywhere that you go, I just wanna let you know (oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)

Right out to the edge of the Earth

Ooh, ooh-ooh
