[English]

I'm on the way

In his room, where I stay, I'm

A mess we've made, but I don't mind

If it's way out

So I'll take

I'll take my sweet, sweet time

Everyday, yeah

'Cause you make me feel like a child again

I swear, on my skin

You wave, I let you in

A rush of gold, between our mouths

A pile of clothes

And I wish we could just

Take, take, my sweet, sweet time

With you everyday, yeah

'Cause you make me feel like a child again

At the end of the day

Watch the lights hear you say, yeah

It's our room, where we lay

Praying we never change

And I wish we could just

Take, take our sweet, sweet time

Forever everyday, yeah

'Cause you make me feel like a child again

...

And I wish we could just

Take, take our sweet, sweet time

Forever everyday, yeah

'Cause you make me feel like a child again

...
