[English]

Take it slowly

'Cause it feels like time has got something to show me

Through a crowded room, look at me like you know me

Ain't it funny how a second lasts forever when we're together

And I might get enough one day

But I won't let this feeling fade away

I know it won't stop if we turn the love up

Why should we change? We were amazing yesterday

Remove the pressure and if it's meant forever

I'll make you stay, don't let this feeling fade away

...

Don't let this feeling fade away

...

Don't you hurry

I will show you all the treasures that I buried

Try to hide but you just always see right through me

Sometimes I feel like giving up but you're the reason that I'm not leavin'

I know it won't stop if we turn the love up

Why should we change? We were amazing yesterday

Remove the pressure and if it's meant forever

I'll make you stay, don't let this feeling fade away

...

Won't let this feeling fade away

I know it won't stop if we turn the love up

Why should we change? We were amazing yesterday

Remove the pressure and if it's meant forever

I'll make you stay, don't let this feeling fade away
