[English]

You know the deepest cuts by the coolest bands

Spent a year abroad solo in Japan

Wrote your senior paper 'bout exploding stars

How they're made up of the same things we are

Thinkin 'bout what's next

Talking 'bout my life, could spend the rest

I can see you now in that white dress

Feel like I should call and thank your ex

Sittin' here like

Damn, how could anybody let you get away,

Get away, get away

I can't think of any time i've ever felt this way

Felt this way, felt this way (felt this way)

What more could somebody want?

Like god let me draw you up

Damn, how could anybody let you get away

Get away, i won't let you get away

You wouldn't be caught dead wearin' yoga pants

You're more Paris, Texas than Paris, France

You know every word sung by Kurt Cobain

Look, you're perfect is what I've been trying to say so

Damn, how could anybody let you get away

Get away, get away

I can't think of any time I've ever felt this way

Felt this way, felt this way (felt this way)

What more could somebody want

Like God let me draw you up

Damn, how could anybody let you get away

Get away, i won't let you get away

Thinkin 'bout what's next

Talking 'bout my life, could spend the rest

I can see you now in that white dress

Feel like I should call and thank your ex

Sittin here like

Damn, how could anybody let you get away

Get away, get away

I can't think of any time I've ever felt this way

Felt this way, felt this way (felt this way)

What more could somebody want

Like God let me draw you up

Damn, how could anybody let you get away

Get away, i won't let you get away
