[English]

You just gotta whistle...

I'm lost for words and I don't know what to say

When I'm with you, I know it's real

Blowing me off like I'm TNT, baby

We're on this rollercoaster, you and I

Open your eyes, I want you to see I’d never let you go

My heart's waiting on the line

Our love can lift us higher, and tonight we're gonna go

They can treat us however they want

We'll keep fighting forever and ever

Going like oh oh oh, oh oh oh

We believe in a life together

And we can go anywhere, going like oh oh oh

There's nothing left to say, we run away

No one's gonna hold us back

We're flying, you and I, going like oh oh oh

There's nothing left to say, we run away...

We run away

I still remember how we used to play

When I’m with you, I know it’s real

Blowing me off like I’m TNT, baby

Let’s climb to the top together

Open your eyes, I want you to see I’d never let you go

My heart's waiting on the line

Our love can lift us higher, and tonight we're gonna go

They can treat us however they want

We'll keep fighting forever and ever

Going like oh oh oh, oh oh oh

We believe in a life together

And we can go anywhere

Going like oh oh oh

Nothing more to say, we run away

No one’s gonna hold us back

Flying high, you and I, going like oh oh oh

There's nothing left to say, we run away...

We run away

Automatic, systematic—do you wanna be mine?

Trigger, trigger, sweet like a raindrop

Sugah, sugah, creamy chocolate nonstop

Together we can make it better, it keeps going on and on

Like Babylon, like Babylon

Oh darling, don’t look back anymore

Don’t look back anymore, yeah...

They can treat us however they want

We’ll keep fighting forever

They can treat us how they like

We'll be fighting forever and always

Going like oh oh oh, oh oh oh

We believe in a life together

And we can go anywhere

Going like oh oh oh

Nothing more to say, we run away

No one's gonna hold us down

Flying high, you and I, going like oh oh oh

Nothing more to say, we run away...

We run away

We run away (shh)
