[English]

If I fall too deep, will I come back 'round?

I can barely see, but I hear the sound

When you're up so high, you can't find the ground

Yeah, it's hard to breathe when you're upside down

When you're upside down

...

When you're up so high, you can't find the ground

When you're upside down

When you're upside down

When you're upside down

When you're upside down
