Lyrics & Translation
On a summer day that feels like it's melting away
You & Me, blessed by the sun
Closing in quickly
The moment we pass by
Your whisper in my ear
The sound of waves drowns it out
Hey baby! Let me hear that
PLAYBACK PLAYBACK
Rewind it
PLAYBACK PLAYBACK
What did you just say? Oh Oh Oh
Hey, please
PLAYBACK PLAYBACK
Tell me one more time
PLAYBACK PLAYBACK
What did you just say? Oh Oh Oh
Honestly, I know
PLAYBACK!!
A new me + sunshine + midsummer's events = Perfect
Therefore, You & Me, only the gods know
Timing & Happening
As we pass each other
Our glances cross. If you look away,
You lose. Want to test it?
Hey baby! Let me hear that
PLAYBACK PLAYBACK
A woman's heart
PLAYBACK PLAYBACK
Something that stirs inside, Oh Oh Oh
Just a little is fine
PLAYBACK PLAYBACK
Tell me again
PLAYBACK PLAYBACK
Your feelings, Oh Oh Oh
Honestly, I know
PLAYBACK!!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...
Let yourself go & Have a good time
Life is too short, no time to hold back
Let yourself go & Have a good time
Don’t you want to burst out?
Wet hair
The scent of the tide on your voice
The sound of waves drowns it out
Hey baby! Let me hear that
PLAYBACK PLAYBACK
Rewind it
PLAYBACK PLAYBACK
What did you just say? Oh Oh Oh
Hey, please
PLAYBACK PLAYBACK
Tell me one more time
PLAYBACK PLAYBACK
What did you just say? Oh Oh Oh
Hey baby! Let me hear that
PLAYBACK PLAYBACK
Let yourself go & Have a good time
PLAYBACK PLAYBACK
Life is too short, no time to hold back
PLAYBACK PLAYBACK
Let yourself go & Have a good time
PLAYBACK PLAYBACK...
