[English]

Looks pure to me (whoo)

There's a light I see (oh)

Yeah (oh)

Won't you come with me? (Ah, me)

Still placed on the side of the knife, I could sharpen my mind

And light up, that's my touch

We're alive

But I missed you for the longest time (time)

When you were away, I couldn't take it at all

No, I was not alright (I was not alright, no, baby)

Whenever you're coming back

Just make sure that you're coming back to me

Save it up and see

Yeah, uh

Do what you do, you could run away

But the less I see you, more I'm feeling pain, oh yeah

Sending me more deranged, oh

Make me your defender, I'll be the one

That's not going anywhere

There's a side they'll never see, no, no, way

I hope we're never there again, I didn't like it much, my friend

We can work on what we have here, or we could just play it pretend

I'll try it, but before I choose to go

Won't you let me know?

Are you coming with me, baby? Will you hold my hand?

We fell in love by accident, we never made a plan

We went the long way around, it finally made sense

I love you more than ever, I don't care what anyone says

Stay with me in real life, not only in my head

You look so pure to me, so, baby, let's just go ahead

(Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead)

Said you look pure to me (oh)

You're the light I need (oh), I need (oh)

Would you lay with me?

And I'm still placed in the seat beside you

Stayin' right here feels sublime, tryna be present these days

But I'm always contemplating, open up on a daily

Might repeat what I'm saying

Predictable, but I'll be your companion

Make me the one that's all yours in every way

Show a side that only I know, my babe

We've been through more than I would ever choose to take

But honestly, I wouldn't want it any other way

And all we have is right now, it's just you and I some place

We could leave without a trace (let me know)

Are you coming with me baby? Will you hold my hand?

We fell in love by accident, we never made a plan

We got turned upside down and it didn't make much sense

But I love you more than ever, we'll never go through that again

Stay with me now, if you please, I'll put this song to bed

You are so pure to me, and that's all
