[English]

Hey, it's just the two of us again

It's like I'm back in 2010

God, I remember this feeling

Stay a little longer if you can

I know you need to get back

But there's something I'm sad in your eyes

'Cause they shine like the stars in the night

And your skin tastes like summer

And I'm losing control

Now the dark is exploding in your colours

And I can't let go

There's no saving us

Lost, we're both so dangerously lost

Two bodies falling like a rock waiting for someone to find us

Hold, hold me closer while you can

'Cause we're running out of chances

I've been looking for the answers in your eyes

'Cause they shine like the stars in the night

And your skin tastes like summer

And I'm losing control

Now the dark is exploding in your colours

And I can't let go

There's no saving us

And that's dangerous

I never want you to turn off the lights

I never want you to close your eyes

Only wanted to see you tonight

To say, to say, to say

That your skin tastes like summer

And I'm losing control

Now the dark is exploding in your colours

And I can't let go

There's no saving us

And that's dangerous

There's no saving us

And that's dangerous
