One Number Away
Lyrics:
[English]
[ Phone ringing ]
"Hey, it's me.
Someone just told me it's 11:11 and to make a wish,
but, you know I couldn't really think of one.
Guess I don't need a wish,
'cause I'm the luckiest girl in the world.
I've already got you. Love you. Bye."

and I guess I just really wanted --"
