[English]

Woah

Sun coming up, and I still feel numb

In the dark, my secrets hide, I run

Few more drops up on your tongue

At night, too many that can't be undone

Head spun, meanwhile, you're done

Had a little too much fun

I cannot stop touching you

This just took my high to the moon

It don't get no better

Moments like this reveal the truth

Alone with only you

Take a picture 'cause we'll need proof

Nobody will believe we saw the sun

If this don't work out, remember all we've done, ooh

...

Ooh-ah, ooh-ah

Ooh-ah, ooh-ah

...

It don't get no better

Take a picture 'cause we'll need proof

Nobody will believe we saw the sunlight

If it don't work out, remember all we've done, oh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

...

Just let your imagination run wild, let your heart be your guide

In the time you sit around worrying about it and trying to plan a painting, you could've completed a painting already

Let it happen, let it happen

And I would spend, sometimes, weeks just working on a picture, drawing it out, getting all the little sketches and stuff

And then I'd go back and spend maybe a month trying to fill in the blocks

And here, we let it happen, it comes out here

It's in you, and you put it on the canvas, 'kay? Let's see

...
