[English]
He stares
Squinting through the sunlight
There's a tear in the sky
And it bleeds red and it burns bright
All night
I ride the wave along
That takes me
Right through the door of my sanity
I feel the rush, rush
Without your touch, touch
Washin' over me
I feel so much, much
Without your touch, touch
There's something wrong with me
He's an unknown, yeah, and he don't care
Whenever I want him, he'll be right here
Just how I like him
Just how I like him
I scream when I'm mad, but you don't talk back
I know you're not real, but I'm good with that
Just how I like him
Just how I like him
I close my eyes
But I never sleep
I think you live in my head
Counting the stars watching over me
I feel the rush, rush
Without your touch, touch
Washin' over me
I feel so much, much
Without your touch, touch
There's something wrong with me
He's an unknown, yeah, and he don't care
Whenever I want him, he'll be right here
Just how I like him
Just how I like him
I scream when I'm mad, but you don't talk back
I know you're not real, but I'm good with that
Just how I like him
Just how I like him
He stares
Squinting through the sunlight
There's a tear in the sky
And it bleeds red and it burns bright
He's an unknown, yeah, and he don't care
Whenever I want him, he'll be right here
Just how I like him
Just how I like him
I scream when I'm mad, but you don't talk back
I know you're not real, but I'm good with that
Just how I like him (you there)
Just how I like him (maybe you there)
