Lyrics & Translation
On my head
Let me go blind
Let my teeth rot
If I can't see you
I'm not even interested anymore
Let me forget the language
If you're not going to talk to me
Nothing holds me back anymore
I want to be your friend
I want to be your lover
Go to Greece with you
I'm tired of looking elsewhere
For what I've found in you
I'm tired of looking elsewhere
For what I've found in you
Let me lose my name
And what I like
And what worries me
Let me not recognize
My own reflection
Nor my own handwriting
It's not that hard
To accept that you have
My complete half
I can be your friend
I can be your lover
Go to Greece with you
I'm tired of looking elsewhere
For what I've found in you
I'm tired of looking elsewhere
For what I've found in you
Stay on my pillow, you've got me upset
And I'm not leaving here (I'm not leaving here)
But I'm tired of looking elsewhere
(Tired of looking elsewhere)
I'm tired of looking elsewhere for what I know
What I know I've already found in you
