[English]

Live the life you wanna lead

Spend the same day on repeat, on repeat, on repeat, on repeat, on repeat

Isolate yourself from me

Spend the same day on repeat, on repeat, on repeat, on repeat, on repeat

Keep on floating through a dream

If this is who you wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be

Trying to serve, afraid to see

On the run from something real, something real, something real

On repeat

...

On repeat

...

On repeat

...

On repeat

...

But it's you again

Was always wondering where to begin

But it's you again

Was always wondering where to begin

Live the life you wanna lead

Spend the same day on repeat, on repeat, on repeat, on repeat, on repeat

Isolate yourself from me

Spend the same day on repeat, on repeat, on repeat, on repeat, on repeat

...

On repeat

Live the life you wanna lead

Spend the same day on repeat, on repeat, on repeat, on repeat, on repeat

Isolate yourself from me

Spend the same day on repeat, on repeat, on repeat, on repeat, on repeat

Keep on floating through a dream

If this is who you wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be

Trying to serve, afraid to see

On the run from something real, something real, something real

On repeat

...
