[English]

Ah, mmm, I

Every night I'm going on the grid

Texting back I want you

Hit you up, I'm on the other side

I miss you, miss you

Ticked you off I came in way too strong

Can not keep it low key

Got me drugged

Your pheromones hit the roof

Bottle your taste

Is it really a bad reception out there, where you heading

Why ain't gravity pulling you in closer to me

I've lost you

But I need you

And you're off my radar now

I've lost you

Telling you that I need you

But you're off my radar now

Found myself in between the lines

Underneath your bed sheets

It started fun, but now I'm in too deep

Into this flow

A zero-sum game that I will lose

There's no zipping past it

Every time you walk away from me

I want you, how could I want you more

Oh when did I lose my perspective, oh God, have I lost it

But my cravings for you, so shameless

Can't get enough

I've lost you

But I need you

And you're off my radar now

I've lost you

Telling you that I need you

But you're off my radar now

I'm like an outcast

From pillar to post

There's no denying

I'm chasing ghosts

I'm like an outcast

From pillar to post

Hitting you up but

I'm stuck on hold

Is it really a bad reception out there, where you heading

Why ain't gravity pulling you in closer to me

Yeah I've lost you

But I need you

And you're off my radar now

I've lost you

Yeah I've lost you

Telling you that I need you

But you're off my radar now

I've lost you

I've lost you

I keep on looking for you

Mmm, mmm
