[English]
Hey
This might come out as total madness
But just wait
I really need to tell you something
'Cause I feel all alone in a room
Surrounded by people
I wanna know if you're feeling it too
Out on the roof here with you, it all seems so distant
With you-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Under streetlights, right next to the skyline
With you-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah, you
I've been a cynic for so many of my days
Now you just might make a believer out of me
'Cause you look so pretty in the sunrise
And somehow now everything is alright
...
I feel
Like every word is so translucent
So real
Oh, won't you tell me how you do it
Now I'm high by the buzz in the room
Surrounded by people
I couldn't care 'bout nobody but you
Sway with me now, baby dance, give in for the moment
With you-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Under streetlights, right next to the skyline
With you-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah, you
I've been a cynic for so many of my days
Now you just might make a believer out of me
'Cause you look so pretty in the sunrise
And somehow now everything is alright
...
Everything is alright
With you-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Under streetlights, right next to the skyline
With you-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah, you
I've been a cynic for so many of my days
Now you just might make a believer out of me
'Cause you look so pretty in the sunrise
And somehow now everything is alright
...
Everything is alright
...
