[English]

I think we had too much time, there's was nothin' left to speak

Is there a corner of this room where I should leave your things?

Closing books, the alabaster thought you couldn't keep

Frame photo on the top shelf that you could never reach

And our friends have it, we went miles to get it

But wherever we would go, I couldn't force the thing you owe

I can't fall with you, but I'll fall with you

Right down to this whole floor, yeah, there's a field that's only yours

...

Your sister wants to take my life, I think she's reading spells

Tried to say it quietly, but it reached everyone else

You said that I was all you had, but look at what you made

Next time you open your hand, it won't be to hold your face

And our friends have it, we went miles to get it

But wherever we would go, I couldn't force the thing you owe

I can't fall with you, but I'll fall with you

Right down to this whole floor, yeah, there's a field that's only yours
