[English]

Here, where the sky is falling, I'm covered in blue

I'm running and I'm crawling, fighting for you

When the rain stops, then darling, what will I do?

And I know I go all in, but why do I?

You give me a reason, something to believe in

I know, I know, I know

You give me a meaning, something I can breathe in

I know, I know, I know

It's a bittersweet feeling, longing, and I'm leaving

I go, I go, I go

But I wish I was there with you

Oh, I wish I was there with you

...

There's a crack in my window, a bird in my room

Angels all over that watch over you

When I'm walking on water, all my dreams have come true

Still, nothing means nothing without you, you

You give me a reason, something to believe in

I know, I know, I know

You give me a meaning, something I can breathe in

I know, I know, I know

It's a bittersweet feeling, longing, and I'm leaving

I go, I go, I go

Tell my heart to lie, but I know deep inside it's true

That I wish I was there with you

That I wish I was there with you

Oh, I wish I was there with you

...

You give me a reason, something to believe in

I know, I know, I know

You give me a meaning, something I can breathe in

I know, I know, I know

It's a bittersweet feeling, longing, and I'm leaving

I go, I go, I go

Tell my heart to lie, but I know deep inside it's true

That I wish I was there with you

That I wish I was there with you

Oh, I wish I was there with you

...
