[English]

When these stars

Start to fall

Will you love me?

Will you call?

I need you close

Don't run away

Don't run away

Chasing highs

In the midnight sun

We fought for love

We were on the run

Tried my best

To give you what you need

So one more chance

Please. don't leave

Made it way past broken hearts

Won't you stay a while

Stay a while

We are still on the run

Never had enough

Never catching us

...

Never catching us

...

Never catching us

All these lights

Got me in a daze

I've been lost

Haven't slept in days

I need you close

Don't run away (don't run away)

Don't run away

I want you by my side

I hope you never leave

I'll just keep holding on

I'll just be all you need

This life is all we know (this life is all we know)

This life is all we know (this life is all we know)

Made it way past broken hearts

Won't stay a while

Stay a while

We are still on the run

Never had enough

Never catching us

...

Never catching us

...

Never catching us

...

Made it way past broken hearts

Won't stay a while

Stay a while

We are still on the run

Never had enough

Never catching us

Made it way past broken hearts

Won't stay a while

Stay a while

We are still on the run

Never had enough

Never catching us

...

Never had enough

...
