[English]

So much on my mind, I think, I think too much

Read between these lines, unspoken weight of words

But time comes to rest when you are by my side, it blurs

And I will follow where this takes me

...

And my tomorrows long to be unknown

When all is shaken, be my safety

In a world uncertain, say you'll be my stone

...

Change in every wind

The sands of time don't know our name

...

Oh, nothing's sure, but surely as we stand

I promise I will stay the same

And I've never seen forever

But I know we'll remain

And I will follow where this takes me

And my tomorrows long to be unknown

...

When all is shaken, be my safety

In a world uncertain, say you'll be my stone

...

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Be my stone

(Ooh, ooh)

In a world uncertain, say you'll be my stone

Oh steady me, be my source of gravity

...

While my world's unravelling

Say you'll never change, oh, oh

And I will follow where this takes me

And my tomorrows long to be unknown

When all is shaken, be my safety

In a world uncertain, say you'll be my stone

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Be my stone

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

In a world uncertain, say you'll be my stone

...
