[English]

I woke up with a crush

We never got to touch

One night was not enough

Went tripping in a dream

You there in front of me

Like L-O-V-E love

It felt so real

And I could feel

That emotion, that emotion

Taking over me

The night was ours

Was seeing stars

Last night I dreamt I fell in love

Last night I dreamt I fell in love

Last night I dreamt I fell in love

It’s heaven in your arms

Hit snooze on the alarm

And take me back to sleep

Just think of all the ways

That psychedelic haze

That’s where I wanna be

It felt so real

And I could feel

That emotion, that emotion

Taking over me

The night was ours

Keep seeing stars

Last night I dreamt I fell in love

Last night I dreamt I fell in love

Last night I dreamt I fell in love

Come to me, fever dream

Higher than I’ve ever been

One more night, we can try

Let’s keep the dream alive

Close your eyes, meet me there

We’re dancing in the air

Never stop, seeing us

Last night I dreamt I fell in love

La la la la la

La la la la la

La la la la la

La la la la la

Last night I dreamt I fell in love
