[English]

Our empty hearts and neon lights

They're playing with my mind

Gotta get out of it tonight

I wanna run off and float

And I'll tell myself it's fine to be alone

Just to find somewhere that finally feels like home, oh, oh, oh

I hate all this overthinking, oh, oh, oh, oh

The more I swim, the more I'm sinking

Take me to a world of silver

No more heartbreaks, tears, painkillers

Take me somewhere unfamiliar

Bring me back to where we started out

Get me out of now

To where we started out

Get me out of now

To where we started out

La-la-la-la-la-oh-oh

Get me out of

Broken hearts and starting fights

Turning truth to lies

Gotta get out, stop wasting time

Yeah, I wanna run off and float

And I'll tell myself it's fine to be alone

Just to find somewhere that finally feels like home, oh, oh, oh

I hate all this overthinking, oh, oh, oh, oh

The more I swim, the more I'm sinking

Take me to a world of silver

No more heartbreaks, tears, painkillers

Take me somewhere unfamiliar

Bring me back to where we started out

Get me out of now

To where we started out

Get me out of now

To where we started out

I'm out, oh

I'm out, oh

I'm out, oh

I'm out, oh
