[English]

Found my friends, I'm not dead, here we go again

What's the time? How long has it been?

Help me come alive, sail across the sky, take me further

Can we last all night, again

I keep on running beside myself

I keep on running, don't think I'm well

I can't be alone, beside myself

I can't be alone, I need some help!

I found my friends, I found my friends

Can't feel my hands, can't feel my hands

I'm walking out just turn around

I feel left out don't burn me down

Just let me out

...

Swimming deep in a pool filled with swirling thoughts

Come on stay be my company

I see someone else, talking to themselves

Maybe its a mirror looking down on me

I keep on running beside myself

I keep on running, don't think I'm well

I can't be alone, beside myself

I need some help, I need some help!

I found my friends, I found my friends

Can't feel my hands, can't feel my hands

I'm walking out, just turn around

I feel left out, don't burn me down, just let me out

I just wanna dance with you tonight

I just wanna dance with you tonight

I just wanna dance with you tonight

I just wanna dance, I just wanna dance

I just wanna dance with you tonight

I just wanna dance with you tonight

I just wanna dance with you tonight

I just wanna dance, I just wanna dance

I found my friends, I found my friends

Can't feel my hands, can't feel my hands

...
