[English]

Melt

Into me

We go like water

We go like water

Bleed

We all bleed

We go like water

We go like water

Give

Everything

We go like water

We go like water

All night

Close my eyes

Can’t sleep

Cry tonight

Give me life

Rain down on me

all I need

all I need

all I need

all I need

you’re all I need

you’re all I need

all I need

all I need

all I need
