Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I didn't think I'd find you there

Now we're spending every day together

We brush our teeth

And then you brush my hair

I'm just trying to make you laugh

While your whole world is changing back at home

We can stay in this hotel room

And pretend there's nowhere else to go

Think I'm a masochist

I know you can hurt me

And I'm letting you

'Cause I like you

I just do

Sleeping through another flight

I didn't set an alarm and I don't care

Laying in your arms

Blackout curtains, no daylight

Staying out and drinking beers

I love it when I make your friends laugh

I love how much they love you

And all the fun that you guys have

I just do, I just do

You know I can't help it

I can't keep my mouth shut

I'm fucking my life up

It's what I do, I just do

Think I'm a masochist

I know you can hurt me

And I'm letting you

'Cause I like you

I just do

Think I'm a masochist

I know you can hurt me

And I'm letting you

I don't know why I always do

But I'm letting you

'Cause I like you

I just do

...
