[English]

[music]

>> All I

>> [singing]

>> am

is [music] a man. I want the world

in [singing] my hands. I hate the beach,

[music] but I stand in California with

my toes in the sand. Use the [music]

sleeves of my [singing] sweater. Let's

have an adventure. Head in the clouds

above my gravity centered. Touch my neck

and I'll touch yours. [music] You and

those little high waisted shorts.

She knows [music] what I think about.

And what I think about. One love,

two mouths. [music] One love, one house.

No shirt, no blouse. Just us, you'll

find [music] out. Nothing that we don't

want to tell you about. No,

cuz it's too cold

for you here

>> [music]

>> and now.

So, [singing] let me hold

>> [music]

>> both your hands in the holes of my

sweater.

>> I may, just [music] take your breath

away. I don't mind if there's not much

to say. Sometimes the silence guides a

mind to move to a place so far [music]

away. The goosebumps start to raise the

minute that my left hand meets your

waist.

And then I watch your face with my

finger on your tongue cuz you love the

taste. Yeah.

>> [music]

>> These hearts adore. Everyone the other

be taught as far. Inside this place is

warm. Outside [singing] is dark support.

>> Coming down. [music]

One love,

two mouths.

One love,

one house.

No shirt,

no blouse.

>> [music]

>> Just us, you'll find out. Nothing that

we don't want to tell you about. No,

no,

no,

>> [music]

>> cuz it's too cold

>> [music and singing]

>> for you here

and now.

So, let me hold

>> [singing]

[music]

>> both your hands in the holes of my

sweater.

>> [music]

>> For you here

and now,

>> [music]

>> so let me hold

both [music] your hands in the holes of

my sweater.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> Cuz it's [music] too cold

for you here and now. [music] So, let me

hold

>> [singing]

>> both your hands [music]

in

the holes of my sweater.

>> [music]

>> For you here and

now, [music]

let me hold

both your hands [music] in

the holes of my sweater.

It's too cold.

It's too cold.

>> [music]

>> The holes

of my sweater.
