Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Sorry if my physical's looking invisible right now

But sometimes I could run away, I move slower in your time

Can you give me a moment babe?

Oh yeah, can you give me a moment, yeah?

I rested in pieces, I rest when we're sleeping, I hate to be awake

Cause all the attention and all of your senses, I took 'em all away

Can you give me a moment, ye-ye-yeah?

Oh yeah, can you give me a moment, yeah?

I want you here right next to me, so we can rest in peace

We rest in peace, we rest in peace, we rest in peace

We rest in peace, we rest in peace, we rest in peace

We rest in peace, we rest in peace, we rest in peace

We rest in peace, we rest in peace, we rest in peace

Yeah, you and me, truthfully we can be

Happy for eternity, just come with me

I can show you things you've never seen

Yes indeed, I can take you to your destiny

You best believe, I'm giving you the best of me

And I confess that there's no place that I would rather be

Than underneath, in between, you're in my dreams

So every night I go to sleep, I rest in peace

Reminiscing of nights with you on the phone with me

Telling me how you wanna be all alone with me

So now that you're finally in the zone with me

Girl I wanna see everything that you told me

Vamanos, I think we're getting kinda close

We're slipping into comatose, gross

I want you here right next to me, so we can rest in peace

We rest in peace, we rest in peace, we rest in peace

We rest in peace, we rest in peace, we rest in peace

We rest in peace, we rest in peace, we rest in peace

We rest in peace, we rest in peace, we rest in peace

We rest in pieces

I don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna hurt you baby

But I know that I will, that I will, will, sooner or later

Find out, first baby

Get you in the morning light

Maybe, then baby, we could be alright, yeah

Alright, can you hold me tight right now?

Rest in peace, rest in peace with me

All along
