[English]

Some nights I'm having a hard time keeping my head above the water

Cold breath, I cannot stand up, too much weight on my shoulders

Messed up, I wanna stay together but I need someone who's holding

And, oh, I have someone who's holding

When you're calling

Like magic, you're lifting off the shade from my mood

I'm keeping it together for you

I'll go with you all the way to the moon

If you're keeping it together, too

Keeping it together for you, you

Keeping it together for you, you

Insane, sometimes it feels like I'm just dancing on the border

Tether, without you I would be lost around the corners

Steady, but only as long as I got you there to hold me

And I got you there to hold me

Never stop calling

Like magic, you're lifting off the shade from my mood

I'm keeping it together for you

I'll go with you all the way to the moon

If you're keeping it together, too

Keeping it together for you, you

Keeping it together for you, you

Keeping it together for

Like magic, you're lifting off the shade from my mood

I'm keeping it together for you

(Keeping it together for you, you)

You, you

You, you

Like magic, you're lifting off the shade from my mood

I'm keeping it together for you

I'll go with you all the way to the moon

If you're keeping it together, too

Keeping it together for you, you

Keeping it together for you, you

Keeping it together for you, you

Keeping it together for you, you

Like magic, you're lifting off the shade from my mood

I'm keeping it together for you

I'll go with you all the way to the moon

If you're keeping it together, too
