[English]

Another day in a crazy world

Hanging on for another curve

Every bend, every twist can turn you round and round

Holding on, it's a wild ride

It's all new when you blink your eyes

Suddenly, everything inside feels upside down

Don't matter what's up next

Close my eyes and take that step

I'm ready for whatever, here we go!

Oh-ooh-ooh-oh-oh, it's only getting better

Oh-ooh-ooh-oh-oh, don't wanna catch my breath

We'll race through every open door

Find everything we're hoping for

As long as we're together

It's only getting better

...

Another day, it's a mystery

A million possibilities

Take a chance, it'll all be easier in time

Everyday is a new adventure

Turn the page, it's a whole new chapter

Something great up ahead will make you feel alive

I'm hoping for the best

Close my eyes and take that step

I'm ready for whatever, here we go!

Oh-ooh-ooh-oh-oh, it's only getting better

Oh-ooh-ooh-oh-oh, don't wanna catch my breath

We'll race through every open door

Find everything we're hoping for

As long as we're together

It's only getting better!

It's changing in an instant

And everything is different

But I'm ready for whatever

I'm ready for whatever!

...

Oh-ooh-ooh-oh-oh, it's only getting better

Oh-ooh-ooh-oh-oh, don't wanna catch my breath

We'll race through every open door

Find everything we're hoping for

As long as we're together

It's only getting better!

Oh-ooh-ooh-oh-oh, it's only getting better

Oh-ooh-ooh-oh-oh, don't wanna catch my breath

We'll race through every open door

Find everything we're hoping for

As long as we're together

It's only getting better!
