[English]

I can see

Baby, you're just like me

Keep falling free

Running round chasing dreams

Stuck on the ground

Lost, never found

Gotta get out this place

Babe, if you dare come up for air

We could just fly away

We can get high, we can get high, touching the sky

Never gonna come back down

We can run wild, shooting stars now, faster than sound

Build a kingdom in the clouds

We can get high, high, high, high, high, high

Can get high, high, high, high, high, high

We can get high high, high, high, high, high

Can get high, high, high, high, high, high

We can get

We can get

Wake me when

It's time for us to fly again

We've just begun

Reaching out to touch the sun

Stuck on the ground

Lost, never found

Gotta get out this place

Babe, if you dare come up for air

We could just fly away

We can get high, we can get high, touching the sky

Never gonna come back down

We can run wild, shooting stars now, faster than sound

Build a kingdom in the clouds

We can get high, high, high, high, high, high

Can get high, high, high, high, high, high

We can get high high, high, high, high, high

Can get high, high, high, high, high, high

We can get

We can get

We can get
