[English]

The dawn is yet to come

Just light

Waiting

My heart is aching

It’s tearing apart

I can’t move

Can't you see

I know it - it’s gotten serious

My heart may stop - I want you so bad tonight

I can’t go any further

I don't wanna lie

Stay by my side

Feel it right now

Revival

I need your breath

Revival

I wake up to your voice

Always

Revival

With you some day

Your eyes can change me

Revival

I’ve stopped making it all about me

This world is about give-and-take

I think of what I can do for you Endless yeah

Beautiful surprises and

Sending you gifts

Again on this night time goes by

I’m just looking for you

What comes next in our story

Won’t have me in it

I’m tired of waiting for you on this freezing night

There’s no right answer

I don't wanna lie

Stay by my side

Believe it right now

Revival

I need your help

Revival

I awake when I touch you

Always

Revival

With you someday

With you I can change

Revival

Heart still broken

You are the only one who can heal me

What’s missing now is the future - goodbye

Revival

I need your help

Revival

I awake when I touch you

Always

Revival

With you someday

Even just one more time, for me

Revival

Stay by my side Revival
