Utopia – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Tell me that you gotta go

When you know that you wanna stay

Dragging on your goodbyes tells me everything that you don't say

If I brought it up I think you'd

Laugh it off and disagree

You act a way around your friends

And different when it's you and me

But I know, I know, I know, I know you

And you know, you know, what this could be too

Admit it, you're scared where this could go

But the more you hide your feelings they show

And it's like every day I just wanna get away

I just wanna get away

You're running circles in my brain

Yeah, everyday I just wanna find a way

I just wanna find a way

You're running circles in my brain

But I just want to know

Where you think you're going

Utopia, you're the girl of my dreams

We push and pull feel the tension rising

Lost in your eyes

They hypnotize me

Just want to know

Where you think you're going

Utopia, you're the girl of my dreams

Utopia

Utopia, you're the girl of my dreams

I'll put aside my pride

Putting in overtime

You know I'd do just bout anything to be by your side

Taking the fall for you, and

Risking it all for you

If it all blew up in our face, I'd still wish the best for you

But I know, I know, I know, I know you

And you know, you know, what this could be too

Admit it, you're scared where this could go

But the more you hide your feelings they show

And it's like every day I just wanna get away

I just wanna get away

You're running circles in my brain

Yeah, everyday I just wanna find a way

I just wanna find a way

You're running circles in my brain

But I just want to know

Where you think you're going

Utopia, you're the girl of my dreams

We push and pull feel the tension rising

Lost in your eyes

They hypnotize me

Just want to know

Where you think you're going

Utopia, you're the girl of my dreams

Utopia

Utopia, you're the girl of my dreams
