Lyrics & Translation

[English]

We're both on the shore

You're killing me

You're holding me down

You call me for sure

...

You're killing me

You're holding me down

Little talks for the better

Top, top on your shoulder

I felt love, but it's over

I grow down, down, down

Black sharps going under

My skin getting older

Felt love, but it's over

I grow down

And you are just

Fading away

It's getting cold, I'm felling colder

And you are just

Finding away

Little talks for the better

Top, top on your shoulder

I felt love, but it's over

I grow down, down, down

Black sharps going under

My skin getting older

I felt love, but it's over

I grow down, down, down

...

We're both on the road

You're breaking me

You're holding me down

We shared all our hearts

...

You're breaking me

You're holding me down

Red lips for the hotter

None has swing better

I felt love, but it's over

I grow down, down, down

Fake blood and a finger

Together and wilder

I felt love, but it's over

I grow down

And you are just

Fading away

It's getting cold, I'm felling colder

And you are just

Finding away

Red lips for the hotter

None has swing better

I felt love, but it's over

I grow down, down, down

Fake blood and a finger

Together and wilder

I felt love, but it's over

I grow down, down, down

Little talks for the better

Top, top on your shoulder

I felt love, but it's over

I grow down, down, down

Black sharps going under

My skin getting older

I felt love, but it's over

I grow down, down, down

...

Little talks for the better

Top, top on your shoulder

I felt love, but it's over

I grow down, down, down

Black sharps going under

My skin getting older

I felt love, but it's over

I grow down, down, down

...
