[English]

When she's okay

then I'm alright

When she's awake

I'm up all night

Nothing really matters

Nothing really matters

I see her face

and in my mind

I seize the day whenever she's nearby

It's like nothing really matters, no

Nothing really matters

She completes me

How she reads me

Right or wrong

It's so clear she's

all that I need

all I need

I know what it feels like

I know what it feels like

Swimming through the stars when I see her

And I don't need air 'cause I breathe her

I know what it feels like

I know what it feels like

I breathe her

breathe her

Every time I see her

Every time I see her

When I'm lost

and need a sign

She leads the way

and I'll be fine

Nothing really matters

Nothing really matters

She completes me

How she reads me

Right or wrong

It's so clear she's

all that I need

all I need, yeah

I know what it feels like

I know what it feels like

Swimming through the stars when I see her

And I don't need air 'cause I breathe her

I know what it feels like

I know what it feels like, yeah

I breathe her

breathe her

Every time I see her

Every time I see her

Every time I see her

When she's okay

then I'm alright

When she's awake

I'm up all night

Nothing really matters

Nothing really matters
