[English]

How long before we fall in love

How long before we fall in love

Here’s a ticket

Baby wanna go out?

Blue palm trees

They’re calling us

Don’t be picky

Yeah, roam this town

Feel like I’m hot stuff

You’re my rock star

Hear me now

The wind is sweet and salty

Like a Margarita

Here on out

Driving on this summer

Won’t you navigate me

How long before we fall in love

(The moment I saw you, I fly high)

How long before we fall in love

(Let me know let me know) Oh, dive into our ocean, just the two of us

Oh, dive into our ocean, just the two of us

This somehow strange feeling melts away

Sticky sticky sticky sticky

Love got so poppin’ flavor

Unexpected new taste

Languid summer fever, it doesn’t go away

So hear me now

Sweet heart is dripping

Like gelato melting

Here on out

Left on my heart, darling

Won’t you navigate me

How long before we fall in love

(The moment I saw you, I fly high)

How long before we fall in love

(Let me know let me know) Oh, dive into our ocean, just the two of us

Oh, dive into our ocean, just the two of us

This somehow strange feeling melts away

Sticky sticky sticky sticky

Even if there’s no day like today again

I wanna keep on staying

Know you’d make me fly away

Kiss the orange-tinted sunset

So say yeah

Sticky sticky sticky sticky

And you’re the one who’s with it

With it with it with me

Yeah, it’s okay to be slow like slow-motion

I’d take you to the new world so boy

Go wherever your feet take you, there’s no way

Then come to me, follow my lead

Let’s get it yeah

How long before we fall in love

(Like that butterfly, I go round round)

How long before we fall in love

(Let me know let me know)

I like it, dazzling summer light

Right now, we are

Sticky sticky sticky sticky
