[English]
Where'd you go?Who you know?
How I've been living without you
Daydreaming on a cloud with you like horizon
With you 'til the night ends on a island, yeah
It's about time for making up
The times you wasn't with me waking up
Lying if I said I didn't miss your touch
I need it to, I needed to
Needed to distance myself from you
Oh, just to know you were the truth
So come closer won't you, won't you
Can I tell you something for what it's worth?
With you Heaven is a place on Earth
And I will take you there, I'll take you
Show you something, give you more than words
With you Heaven is a place on Earth
And I will take you there, I'll take you there
Take you there
Fill me up, till my cup's overflowing
I'm so anxious just to feel the silence
It's so quiet, but I hear you
Saying to me baby
It's about time for making up
The times you wasn't with me waking up
Lying if I said I didn't miss your touch
I need it to, I needed to
Needed to distance myself from you
Oh, just to know you are the truth
So come closer won't you, won't you
Can I tell you something for what it's worth?
With you Heaven is a place on Earth
And I will take you there, I'll take you
Show you something, give you more than words
With you Heaven is a place on Earth
And I will take you there, I'll take you there, yeah
Take you there
Keep me, please me, don't tease me
Love me, give me that feeling
I want you to give it to me, yeah, yeah
Keep me, please me, don't tease me
Love me, give me that feeling
I want you to give it to me, yeah, yeah
Yeah, woah
Take me high, high
