[English]

(Yeah-yeah)

(I wanted it)

I've been wantin' to move, I've been wantin' to move from you

I've been needin' to prove to myself and above, it's true

I've been takin' the leads, I've been takin' the risks to lose you

And I'm still kinda lost, I don't know how to trust

But I know there's no rush, and I miss you too much, yeah

What do you think? Oh, baby

Do you think we already know what's good?

What do you feel? Oh, tell me

Do you think that we're being too lazy?

I wish we could leave for the day

But we've been sayin' it's cool and pretendin' to fool the best

When I sent you my body, and you sent me yours by text

Then I said, "Leave me alone," now I wait for my phone to suggest your name

'Cause we've been sayin', "I love you and I will always do"

But these feelings are strong, I hope that they're wrong, yeah

What do you think? Oh, baby

Do you think we already know what's good?

What do you feel? Oh, tell me

Do you feel that we're being too lazy?

I wish we could leave for the day

...

I tried to say goodbye, but it's hard to give up your eyes

And your skin and your mouth, and your prettiest smile

I still want you, you're mine, and it's tearing me apart

Oh, did you get any word that I said?

...
