[English]

Late at night when you're out doing your thing

Do I cross your mind?

Am I still someone you need?

When you close your eyes

Is it only me you see?

'Cause you and I

That's my favourite memory

All the wrong moves but I can't go home

All the right feels, I'm not ready to show

Crowded room but I feel so alone

You should be here, you should be here

All these new faces I gotta know

All these new places I wanna go

I feel so strange gettin' out on my own

And I'm still here, wishing you were here

And I'm still here, wishing you were here

And I'm still here, wishing you were here

Now and then, I have dreams about our future

That you're starring in

Don't think I'll ever be used to being just a friend

Underestimated what it takes to start again

To start again

All the wrong moves but I can't go home

All the right feels, I'm not ready to show

Crowded room but I feel so alone

And I'm still here, wishing you were here

All these new faces I gotta know

All these new places I wanna go

I feel so strange getting out on my own

And I'm still here, wishing you were here

And I'm still here, wishing you were here

And I'm still here, wishing you were here
