[English]

What's the use pretending?

Drifting in circles

Round and round my mind?

What's the point of wandering down these streets

Just to pass the time?

Now that it dawned on me

Drew out a song from me

I'm turning again, again

Some things don't ever change

So now I'm back where I began

That night

A smile lit up the city

Those eyes

Lit fireworks within me

Those eyes

They shine

They shine

And light the way

Some things don't ever change

So now I'll say

I'm talking bout you

I'm talking bout you

It's always been you

Today, always

Always it's you

Every sign, sign, sign

The world left behind

In my mind, mind, mind

I wonder if that meant you're the world to me

Cause now I see you in everything

All this time, time, time

I kept this inside

Every line, line, line

I wonder if you know you're the song I sing

Cause now I hear you in everything

I'm talking bout you

I'm talking bout you

It's all about you

Today, always

Always it's you
