[English]

We would start it slow

You would pull me in

Giving me a chill

Running through my skin

If we were a song (If we were a song)

If we were a song (If we were a song)

...

I can hear your voice

Like a melody

Running through my mind

When I try to sleep

And now

Where are we now? (Where are we now?)

I can hear your heart

As it beats with mine

I can feel your thoughts

Like we're in a twilight now

Where are we now? (Where are we now?)

...

We would start it slow

You would pull me in

Giving me a chill

Running through my skin

If we were a song (If we were a song)

If we were a song (If we were a song)

...

I get caught in your head

With you can't get me out

And when I think of us

I never have a doubt

If we were a song (If we were a song)

If we were a song (If we were a song)

...

I can feel your touch

Right upon my legs

Like it's haunting me

Every time we kiss

And now

Where are we now? (Where are we now?)

I'm a part of you

You're a part of me

But I feel my soul

Telling me to leave

And now

Where are we now? (Where are we now?)

...

We would start it slow

You would pull me in

Giving me a chill

Running through my skin

If we were a song (If we were a song)

If we were a song (If we were a song)

...

I get caught in your head

With you can't get me out

And when I think of us

I never have a doubt

If we were a song (If we were a song)

If we were a song (If we were a song)

...

We would...

Oooh nothing can save us now

Cause all we had and all we were is gone

Oooh nothing can hold me down

Cause all we had and all we were is done

Oooh nothing can save us now

Cause all we had and all we were is gone

Oooh nothing can hold me down

...

We would start it slow

You would pull me in

Giving me a chill

Running through my skin

If we were a song (If we were a song)

If we were a song (If we were a song)

...

I get caught in your head

With you can't get me out

And when I think of us

I never have a doubt

If we were a song (If we were a song)

If we were a song (If we were a song)

...

(If we were a song)

(If we were a song)

...
