[English]

Can't take it back but we could freeze this frame

It could stay the same

Some things don't last but take up time and space

Let it be a phase

I want it to pick me off my feet

Ripping my heart off of my sleeve

Even if it's for a night

Wanna believe that gravity

Never get hold of you and me

Yeah I'm faded in this fantasy

Yeah we could stay (ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay)

So come on over, pull me closer

Why don't we stay (ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay)

And not get older, like we're supposed to

Why don't we stay

Why don't we stay

Why don't we stay (ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay)

I rather say I forgot the bad parts

Ain't got no flaws

Running from trouble has got us this far

Why should we stop

I want it to pick me off my feet

Ripping my heart off of my sleeve

Even if it's for a night

Wanna believe that gravity

Never get hold of you and me

Yeah I'm faded in this fantasy

Yeah we could stay (ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay)

So come on over, pull me closer

Why don't we stay (ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay)

And not get older, like we're supposed to

Why don't we stay

Why don't we stay

Why don't we stay (ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay)

I've been looking for a way to

Not get older

And if the good die young how do we make it stop

And not get older

Like we're supposed to

Yeah we could stay (ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay)

(We could stay)

So come on over

(We could stay)

Pull me closer

(We could stay)

Why don't we stay (ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay)

And not get older, like we're supposed to

Yeah we could stay (ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay)

So come on over

(We could stay)

Pull me closer

(We could stay)

Why don't we stay (ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay)

And not get older

(We could stay)

Like we're supposed to

Like we're supposed to, baby
