[English]

Something familiar, I feel you know me

I feel the tide coming back around

One in a million, only you know me

I feel the sun on my back and now

It's relief on a warmer day

Feel the heat, hear what you say

So just for a second the whole world closes

And I feel you slowly coming back around

And I missed the mornings, the taste of springtime

The flowing cup that never seems too shy

So it's relief on a warmer day

Feel the heat, hear what you say

Something familiar

Now when you hold me

I feel the sun coming back around
