[English]

If I could find assurance to leave you behind

I know my better half would fade

And all my doubt is a staircase for you

Up and out of this maze

The first step is the one you believe in

The second one might be profound

I'll follow you down through the eye of the storm

Don't worry, I'll keep you warm

I'll follow you down while we're passing through space

I don't care if we fall from grace

I'll follow you down

...

You can have the money and the world

The angels and the pearls

Even trademark the color blue

Just like the tower we never built

In the shadow of all the guilt

When the other hand was pointed at you

Yeah, the first step is the one you believe in

And the second one might be profound

I'll follow you down through the eye of the storm

Don't worry, I'll keep you warm

I'll follow you down while we're passing through space

I don't care if we fall from grace

I'll follow you down to where forever lies

Without a doubt, I'm on your side

There's nowhere else that I would rather be

I'm not about to compromise

Give you up to say goodbye

I'll guide you through the deep, I'll keep you close to me

...

I'll follow you down through the eye of the storm

Don't worry, I'll keep you warm

I'll follow you down while we're passing through space

I don't care if we fall from grace

I'll follow you

...

If I could find assurance to leave you behind

I know my better half would fade

I'll follow you down

...
