[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
