[English]

I've been watching you for some time

Can't stop staring at those ocean eyes

Burning cities and napalm skies

15 flares inside those ocean eyes

Your ocean eyes

No fair

...

You really know how to make me cry

When you give me those ocean eyes

I'm scared

...

I've never fallen from quite this high

Falling into your ocean eyes

Those ocean eyes

I've been walking through a world gone blind

Can't stop thinking of your diamond mind

Careful creature made friends with time

He left her lonely with a diamond mind

And those ocean eyes

No fair (no fair)

You really know how to make me cry

When you give me those ocean eyes (those ocean eyes)

I'm scared (I'm scared)

I've never fallen from quite this high

Falling into your ocean eyes

Those ocean eyes

...

Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

Mmm, mmm, mmm

...

No fair

...

You really know how to make me cry

When you give me those ocean eyes

I'm scared

...

I've never fallen from quite this high

Falling into your ocean eyes

Those ocean eyes

...
