[English]

I'm not a fan of the way we're movin'

No explanation for why we do this

(Ah, ah, you'll be alright, ah, ah, you'll be alright)

Let's solve this over a drive-in movie

When you're not there (there), I smile a lot

I feel emotionally out of a job, you know

(Ah, ah, you'll be alright, ah, ah, you'll be alright)

Why aren't you tired of the way you

Let it all go

Let it all go (go)

Let it all go (go)

Let it all go (go)

Let it all go (go, maybe you can try that)

Let it all go (go)

I never liked it when you'd do me like that (let it all go)

I never liked it when you'd do me like that (let it all go)

I never liked it when you'd do me like that (let it all go)

I never liked it when you- (let it all go)

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on (let it all go)

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on (don't go)

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on (don't let me, don't let me)

I'm not a fan of the way we're movin'

No hesitation when I remove this

Photograph from my home, I have things to take from

Days I'll think of staying up with you on purpose, miss the bus home

Think of me, you can't pay for therapy (for therapy)

Nothing left to bleed, you spent all your clarity (clarity)

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on

Let it all go (go, go)

Let it all go (go)

Let it all go (go)

Let it all go (go, maybe you can try that)

Let it all go (go)

I never liked it when you'd do me like that (let it all go, go)

I never liked it when you'd do me like that (let it all go, go)

I never liked it when you'd do me like that (let it all go, go)

I never liked it when you (let it all go, go)

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on

Let it all go (go, go)

Let it all go (go)

Let it all go (go)

Let it all go (go)

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on (let it all go)

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on (don't go)

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on (don't let me, don't let me)

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on (don't let me, don't let me)

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on (don't let me, don't let me)

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on

Yeah, mm, yeah, come on
