[English]

Puppet shadow posters on the ceilin'

Pull the covers over our heads

Tattoo of some foreign constellation

Stealin' kisses off the back of your neck

You don't ever have to worry

In no hurry, don't look back

In a dark crowded room through a million faces

Hey, I'll find you

Hey, I'll find you

A hunger feelin' clawin' at my edges

To live without you, I want to forget

Come in close, we're standin' at the station

Every light I see is flashin' green and red

You don't ever have to worry

In no hurry, don't look back

In a dark crowded room through a million faces

Hey, I'll find you

Hey, I'll find you

I see you, I feel you

I'm sorry that I took so long to get there

I hold you, I've known you

A second, then it slides into forever

Oh-ooh

You don't ever have to worry

In no hurry, don't look back

In a dark crowded room through a million faces

Hey, I'll find you

Hey, I'll find you

Hey, I'll find you
