[English]

I got no regret right now (I'm feeling this)

The air is so cold and low (I'm feeling this)

Let me go in her room (I'm feeling this)

I wanna take off her clothes (I'm feeling this)

Show me the way to bed (I'm feeling this)

Show me the way you move (I'm feeling this)

Fuck it, it's such a blur (I'm feeling this)

I love all the things you do (I'm feeling this)

Fate fell short this time, your smile fades in the summer

Place your hand in mine, I'll leave when I wanna

...

Where do we go from here?

Turn all the lights down now

Smiling from ear to ear (I'm feeling this)

My breathing has got too loud (I'm feeling this)

Show me the bedroom floor (I'm feeling this)

Show me the bathroom mirror (I'm feeling this)

We're taking this way too slow (I'm feeling this)

Take me away from here (I'm feeling this)

Fate fell short this time, your smile fades in the summer

Place your hand in mine, I'll leave when I wanna

(Fate fell short this time, your smile fades in the summer)

(Place your hand in mine, I'll leave when I wanna)

This place was never the same again after you came and went

How could you say you meant anything different

To anyone standing alone on the street

With a cigarette on the first night we met

Look to the past and remember and smile

And maybe tonight I can breathe for awhile

I'm not in the scene I think I'm falling asleep

But then all that it means is I'll always be dreaming of you

Fate fell short this time, your smile fades in the summer

Place your hand in mine, I'll leave when I wanna

Fate fell short this time, your smile fades in the summer

Place your hand in mine, I'll leave when I wanna

Fate fell short this time, your smile fades in the summer

Place your hand in mine, I'll leave when I wanna

Fate fell short this time, your smile fades in the summer

Place your hand in mine, I'll leave when I wanna

Fate fell short this time, your smile fades in the summer

Place your hand in mine, I'll leave when I wanna
