[English]

(city sounds)

♪ There’s something in the way you roll your eyes ♪

♪ Takes me back to a better time ♪

♪ When I saw everything is good ♪

♪ But now you're the only thing that's good ♪

♪ Tryin’ to stand up on my own two feet ♪

♪ This conversation ain't comin’ easily ♪

♪ And darling I know it's getting late ♪

♪ So what do you say we leave this place ♪

♪ Walk me home in the dead of night ♪

♪ I can’t be alone with all that's on my mind ♪

♪ So say you'll stay with me tonight ♪

♪ ‘Cause there is so much wrong going on outside ♪

♪ There's something in the way I wanna cry ♪

♪ That makes me think we'll make it out alive ♪

♪ So c'mon and show me how we're good ♪

♪ I think that we could do some good ♪

♪ Walk me home in the dead of night ♪

♪ I can’t be alone with all that’s on my mind ♪

♪ So say you'll stay with me tonight ♪

♪ ‘Cause there is so much wrong going on outside ♪

♪ Walk me home in the dead of night ♪

♪ ‘Cause I can’t be alone with all that’s on my mind ♪

♪ Say you'll stay with me tonight ♪

♪ ‘Cause there is so much wrong ♪

♪ Going on ♪

♪ Walk me home in the dead of night ♪

♪ I can’t be alone with all that’s on my mind ♪

♪ So say you'll stay with me tonight ♪

♪ ‘Cause there is so much wrong ♪

♪ There is so much wrong ♪

♪ There is so much wrong ♪

♪ Going on outside ♪
