[English]

Baby, sometimes I feel like dying

Driving while I'm closing my eyes

Movin' in and out of hiding

Trying to catch some truth in my life

Watching your stars and your moonlight

Come tumbling down from the sky

Take it now!

I'm gonna run to you

I'm gonna come to you

I wanna find you in everything that I do

I gonna run to you

I'm gonna count on you

I'm gonna follow

Baby, what else can I do?

Sunday morning my town is sleeping (sleeping)

Lying all alone in my bed

There's not a sound I can't help but listening

Wishing I was somewhere else instead

But sometimes they're too hard to handle

Those voices inside my head

Listen now!

I'm gonna run to you

I'm gonna come to you

I wanna find you in everything that I do

(Everything that I do for you)

I'm gonna run to you

I'm gonna count on you

I'm gonna follow

Baby, what else can I do?

Take a walk inside my dreams

A church, a lonely road

All the people come and go and come and go

...

I'm gonna run to you

...

I'm gonna come to you

Do it now!

I'm gonna run to you

I'm gonna count on you

I'm gonna follow, oh oh

I'm gonna run to you

I'm gonna come to you

I wanna find you in everything that I do

(Everything that I do for you)

I'm gonna run to you

I'm gonna count on you

I'm gonna follow

Baby, what else can I do

I'm gonna run to you

I'm gonna come to you

Baby, what else can I do?

(Everything that I do for you)

I'm gonna run to you

I'm gonna come to you

What else can I do?

I'm gonna run to you

I'm gonna come to you
