[English]

I've waited a hundred years

But I'd wait a million more for you

...

Nothing prepared me for

What the privilege of being yours would do

...

If I had only felt the warmth within your touch

If I had only seen how you smile when you blush

Or how you curl your lip when you concentrate enough

I would have known what I was living for all along

What I've been living for

...

Your love is my turning page

Where only the sweetest words remain

...

Every kiss is a cursive line

Every touch is a redefining phrase

...

I surrender who I've been for who you are

For nothing makes me stronger than your fragile heart

If I had only felt how it feels to be yours

Well, I would have known what I've been living for all along

...

What I've been living for

...

Though we're tethered to the story we must tell

When I saw you, well I knew we'd tell it well

With a whisper, we will tame the vicious seas

Like a feather, bringing kingdoms to their knees

...
