[English]

In pitch dark

I go walking in your landscape

Broken branches

Trip me as I speak

Just 'cause you feel it

Doesn't mean it's there

Just 'cause you feel it

Doesn't mean it's there

There's always a siren

Singing you to shipwreck

(Don't reach out, don't reach out)

(Don't reach out, don't reach out)

Steer away from these rocks

We'd be a walking disaster

(Don't reach out, don't reach out)

(Don't reach out, don't reach out)

Just 'cause you feel it

Doesn't mean it's there

(Someone on your shoulder)

(Someone on your shoulder)

Just 'cause you feel it

Doesn't mean it's there

(Someone on your shoulder)

(Someone on your shoulder)

There, there!

Why so green

And lonely, and lonely

And lonely

Heaven sent you

To me, to me

To me

We are accidents

Waiting, waiting

To happen

We are accidents

Waiting, waiting

To happen
