[English]

I don't know

Just hold me close to your hip bones

I don't know

Just hold me close to your hip bones

All guns and shields on ground

I left mine at the doorstep

I know I let you down

I treat the ones I love

With a rough hand, I don't know why I do it

Maybe just to test your will

You got jaded, I started fading

Crazy, how the time flew

Let me into your arms, baby

You can't keep me away

We will remember ourselves as we forget yesterday

You say, "Love, where do we go from here?"

I say, "I, I don't know, just hold me close to your hip bones"

I don't know

Just hold me close to your hip bones

Come, let your fears be free

I locked mine up for ages

Be face to face with me

Push the ones I love

With a rough hand, away from me

I don't wanna do it this time, no, no

Let me into your arms, baby

You can't keep me away (you can't keep me away)

We will remember ourselves as we forget yesterday (forget yesterday)

You say, "Love, where do we go from here?"

I say, "I, I don't know, just hold me closer"

...

...

Let me into your arms, baby

You can't keep me away (can't keep me away)

We will remember ourselves as we forget yesterday (forget yesterday)

You say, "Love, where do we go from here?"

I say, "I, I don't know, just hold me close to your hip bones"

I don't know

Just hold me close to your hip bones
