[English]

I still see us by the ocean

Drinking up that summer high

Fading in the sunshine

Boy we were killing time

You were like my best friend

You were like the reason I felt alive

Hear you say forever

Think I might be losing my mind

I keep fallin back to when we were together

Only you can make it right

Tell me lies pretend you'll never leave me

Even if I'm dreaming tonight

I just wanna go back to that place

When your heart and mine beat at the same pace

Take me back to when we were together

Only you can make it

Make it right right

Make it right

Make it right right

Make it right

Make me right right

Make me right

Make me right right

Make me right

Only you can make it

Make me right right

Make me right

Only make me right right

Make me right

I keep fallin back to when we were together

Only you can make it right

Tell me lies pretend you'll never leave me

Even if I'm dreaming tonight

I just wanna go back to that place

When your heart and mine beat at the same pace

Take me back to when we were together

Only you can make it

Make it right right

Make it right

Make it right right

Make it right

Make me right right

Make me right

Make me right right

Make me right
