[English]
♫ Never been saved but I've never come closer ♫♫ Another year down and another year older ♫
♫ A million fresh starts, what I needed was closure, yeah ♫
♫ I lost who I was but I found my composure, yeah ♫
♫ When I found you ♫
♫ I found me ♫
♫ Nothin' around, far as I could see ♫
♫ You were the current that carried me ♫
♫ When I found you ♫
♫ I found me ♫
♫ Lines in the sand, only you can read ♫
♫ My S.O.S, yeah, you rescued me ♫

♫ My S.O.S., yeah, you rescued me ♫
♫ Call it high-strung, started uppin' my dosage ♫
♫ We're way too young to be feelin' this hopeless ♫
♫ You were my light in this endless ocean, yeah ♫
♫ Feelin' alive, even just for this moment, yeah ♫
♫ When I found you ♫
♫ I found me ♫
