[English]

I was on my own and finally

trying to hear myself, who thought that

roaring trains of changing doubt

that pulled in the station

Your inner light beamed blue and green

Something about it made you seem like

you could fill the seat next to me

without complication

So it took me by surprise

the string between us getting tight

The constellation of our lives

shifting every night

When I see you in my bed

I lay my head down on your chest

I listen to the ocean bending

moonlight in your eyes

Tracing back lucky stars

in my mind

Was it fate or coincidence

that brought you into my life?

Oh, oh, oh

You were down to change your plans

You found me in a foreign land

Picked me up when I was down

Yeah, honey, I was stranded

The thing I like about you most

You always make me feel at home

You fill the empty space I hold

And it's nothing like I imagined

So it took me by surprise

the string between us getting tight

The constellation of our lives

shifting every night

When I see you in my bed

I lay my head down on your chest

I listen to the ocean bending

moonlight in your eyes

Tracing back lucky stars

in my mind

Was it fate or coincidence

that brought you into my life?

Tracing back lucky stars

in my mind

Was it fate or coincidence

that brought you into my life?

I will follow

The brightness of the glow

I will follow (I will follow)

Your star shine 'til we're home

I will follow (I will follow)

The brightness of the glow (The brightness of the glow)

I will follow (I will follow, I will follow)

Your star shine 'til we're home (Your star shine 'til we're home)
