Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I do stumble

Stumble and fall

Over you

You

Trip every night

Trip every day

Over me

When we try to swim

We're drowning even harder

Gravity controls

The way we're falling

Gravity controls

The way we sink

We're floating into space

So boy, why don't you kiss me?

(So boy, it's so nice to be kissed by you)

Waves

Suck you down

To the bottom

Of the deep dark sea

A twister

Lifts me up

Till the point

I can't breath

When we try to jumpP

The floor is even harder

Why don't you tumble down

So why don't you hit the ground

So I can keep on fightin

Against natures laws

No longer...

...
