[English]

wait baby

take your time

you got me so in like

boy i need you all the time

make it mine

make it mine

way too good to be true

can't find nothing wrong w you

i'm falling for you what do i do

i just wanna stay this time

really i should stay this time

stay

say! tell me

where you been?

i've been scared of losing things

maybe you can set me free

that's not me

that's not me

we can make it something sweet

there's no need to overthink

really just don't wanna be temporary

i just wanna stay this time

but can you keep me safe this time?

stay

stay this time

but can you keep me, safe this time?

stay

hands tied hard to rеach but

oh my

i don't want to be

just another corrective experience

tongue tied

hard to speak but

oh my

i don't want to be

anywhere but by your side

baby i, i just wanna

stay this time

but can you keep me safe this time?

stay

stay this time

so can you keep me safe this time?

stay
