Lyrics:

[English]

Saw the world turning in my sheets

And once again, I cannot sleep

Walk out the door and up the street

Look at the stars beneath my feet

Remember rights that I did wrong

So here I go

Hello, hello

There is no place I cannot go

My mind is muddy but

My heart is heavy, does it show?

I lose the track that loses me

So here I go

Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh

And so I sent some men to fight

And one came back at dead of night

Said he'd seen my enemy

Said he looked just like me

So I set out to cut myself

And here I go

Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh

I'm not calling for a second chance

I'm screaming at the top of my voice

Give me reason, but don't give me choice

'Cause I'll just make the same mistake again

Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh

And maybe someday we will meet

And maybe talk and not just speak

Don't buy the promises, 'cause

There are no promises I keep

And my reflection troubles me

So here I go

Ah, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ah, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ah, ooh-ooh-ooh

I'm not calling for a second chance

I'm screaming at the top of my voice

Give me reason, but don't give me choice

'Cause I'll just make the same mistake

I'm not calling for a second chance

I'm screaming at the top of my voice

Give me reason, but don't give me choice

'Cause I'll just make the same mistake again

Ah, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ah, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ah, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ah, ooh-ooh-ooh

Saw the world turning in my sheets

...

And once again, I cannot sleep

Walk out the door and up the street

Look at the stars

Look at the stars fall down

And I wonder where

Did I go wrong

...
