[English]

So close, no matter how far

Couldn't be much more from the heart

Forever trusting who we are

And nothing else matters

...

Never opened myself this way

Life is ours, we live it our way

All these words, I don't just say

And nothing else matters

...

Trust I seek and I find in you

Every day for us something new

Open mind for a different view

And nothing else matters

...

Never cared for what they do

Never cared for what they know

But I know

So close, no matter how far

It couldn't be much more from the heart

Forever trusting who we are

And nothing else matters

...

Never cared for what they do

Never cared for what they know

But I know

...

I never opened myself this way

Life is ours, we live it our way

All these words, I don't just say

And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you

Every day for us something new

Open mind for a different view

And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say

Never cared for games they play

Never cared for what they do

Never cared for what they know

And I know, yeah, yeah

...

So close, no matter how far

Couldn't be much more from the heart

Forever trusting who we are

No, nothing else matters

...
