[English]

Like a bullet in my chest

You're written, bound and etched

Forever in my mind

We are fading in our hands

Lost somewhere in wasteland

Not knowing up from down

But when the walls are caving in

The world keeps turning

We got the love

We got to love

No, I will never let you go

All the words won't make me fold

It is never easy

I'll follow you, Apollo

No, I will never let you go

Give it time and we will grow

Ain't no fun in easy

I'll follow you, Apollo

I'll follow you, Apollo

I wear my heart on my sleeve

You do the same for me

When autumn comes around

So when the walls are caving in

The world keeps turning

We got the love

We got to love

No, I will never let you go

All the words won't make me fold

It is never easy

I'll follow you, Apollo

No, I will never let you go

Give it time and we will grow

Ain't no fun in easy

I'll follow you, Apollo

I'll follow you

So don't pull the rug from underneath us

We're in trouble, but we got the love

Don't pull the rug from underneath us

Crashing down fast, as fragile as glass

But what are we now if we never tried?

What are we now?

I will never let you go

Give it time and we will grow

It is not supposed to be easy

No, I will never let you go

Give it time and we will grow

Ain't no fun in easy

I'll follow you, Apollo

I'll follow you, Apollo

You, Apollo

It is never easy

I'll follow you, Apollo

I'll follow you, Apollo

You, Apollo

Ain't no fun in easy

I'll follow you, Apollo

I'll follow you, Apollo
