[English]

I'm on a mission, resuming transmission

That checked out for too long

Was put into submission

'Til I wrote down it all

But the truth is I cannot be trusted

With what's in my head

Soon the crowd's position's braced

With getting out of bed

Wake up and pay my dues

'Til I'm blue in the face

Falling in line with the rest

'Til I'm out of the race

But I'm losing it over nothing

Just clearing space

You can only dance with the darkness

When dawn takes place

'Cause we're just a speck in this world

And they say "take it or leave it"

Short on stardust,

But there's still time

I needed you to hear me out

And free me from all my doubts

Now you found me

I can't feel you

But there's still time

Yeah, it doesn't mean when I am low

No one's ever been this close

Can you hear me?

It's not easy to change

In a world of chaos

'Cause in layman's terms

I was the big boss

Choking down the last

Of my entitlement

I kiss the ring goodbye

While we're still young

But follow through in the light of it

I thank my lucky stars

For this life of ambition

I have you and the life of a musician

Push the reset button

Reboot up and take what you get

Let love in, take care of the rest of it

'Cause we're just a speck in this world

And they say "take it or leave it"

Short on stardust

But there's still time

I needed you to hear me out

And free me from all my doubts

Now you found me

I can't feel you

But there's still time

Yeah, it doesn't mean when I am low

No one's ever been this close

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me now?

Short on stardust

But there's still time

I needed you to hear me out

And free me from all my doubts

Then you found me

I can't feel you

But there's still time

Yeah, it doesn't mean when I am low

No one's ever been this close

Can you hear me?
