[English]

Maybe it's time to take a leap of faith (ah-ah, ah-ah)

And come to my senses and take my shirt off in the rain (ah-ah, ah-ah)

Strike a fuckin' match of love and desire

And warm my hands up in the flame

Whatever happened to freedom and honesty? (Ooh)

...

What matters to you, you, you, it's not that deep to me

Fuck that shit, ah, yeah

Flip the script, ah, yeah

Inside of me, ah, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

...

Fuck that shit, I am

Over it, ah, yeah

Off the grid, ah, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (fuck that shit)

I'm in love, you're on game

Switchin' up, switchin' lanes

Won't fight the urge, I'll go insane

I'll say what I want if this shit's true (true)

Ah, yeah, if that shit's true (if that shit's true)

Whatever happened to freedom and honesty?

What matters to you, you, you

It's not that deep to me

Fuck that shit, ah, yeah

Flip the script, ah, yeah

Inside of me, ah, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Fuck that shit, I am

Over it, ah, yeah

Off the grid, ah, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (fuck that shit)
