[English]

Tattoos in tokyo, weekends in mexico

Still haven't seen the pyramids or the rolling stones

Black harley davidson's, sugar & cinnamon

Pick up the pieces of my heart, fall in love again

When i'm in my head

And feel like i got nothing left

It's easy to forget

There will be days you can't catch a break

The sun is stuck behind the clouds

There will be times, when you lose your light

But don't you let it get you down

We're here right now

We're here right now

Summertime innocence, learn how to kiss in french

Stay up all night and watch the stars fade at 6am

And when i lose the high

I know it's okay to cry

Everybody does sometimes

There will be days you can't catch a break

The sun is stuck behind the clouds

There will be times, when you lose your light

But don't you let it get you down

We're here right now

We're here right now

When i'm in my head

And feel like i got nothing left

It's easy to forget

That life is such a gift

There will be days you can't catch a break

The sun is stuck behind the clouds

There will be times, when you lose your light

But don't you let it get you down

We're here right now

We're here right now

Oh yea, tattoos in tokyo, weekends in mexico

Still haven't seen the pyramids or the rolling stones

Black harley davidson's, sugar & cinnamon

Pick up the pieces of my heart and fall in love again
