Lyrics & Translation

[English] No one can come between you and me
Even if we're apart, it doesn't change
You arrived late at the dimly lit restaurant
Our seats suddenly felt like a different planet
I'm used to conversations that don't go anywhere
When I talk with you, morning comes in no time
It's like electricity or something
Between us
Between us
Electricity between us
Between us
Between us
We moved to this city and made it happen
Convenient routines and friends
Sorry, I don't need them anymore
Beautiful minerals and sunsets
Came to see the famous green
Which galaxy are you from?
It's like electricity or something
Between us
Between us
Electricity between us
Between us
Between us
Fearing things we can't understand
Hooked on conspiracy theories
To all humankind like that
A letter Einstein wrote to his daughter
I want you to read it
Love is light, love is our essence

Stories engraved in our details
Even if the words disappear from this star, it won't end
I just want to celebrate with you
I just want to celebrate with you
I just want to celebrate with you
I just want to celebrate with you
