[English]

Some are real, some are false, I can tell if I trust you

Drunk, at my place, unwrap and leave your admiration

Dance with me under the covers, Let it flow, on a roll

Gentle strokes, no need to rush

The more you're tempted, the easier, oh no

Load the gun in your hand, woo woo

Sweet and shallow attitude, woo

The best vibe tonight, woo

Baby, don’t wait anymore, don’t breathe with your lips

In the dark, if it's too dark, who will fall for misfortune

Oh we can have it all, I know we can have it all

Because reality’s what we create

Forget this abandoned world, dopamine calms not the unrest

We’ll find ourselves in the Sweet Escape

We’re getting sensual, sensual, sensual

We’re getting sensual, sensual, sensual, oh yea

No, not afraid of empty focus, tear the ribbons and hold tight

Free your body, connect and thaw the frozen feelings between us

Body to body all day, unbutton everything, it’s okay

Let’s go all the way, disconnect forever from this world

Woo woo woo, abandon loneliness, hold it tight with desire

Happiness feels so strange, why sink into sadness

If love’s here, why turn off the lights, keep shedding defenses

Yeah yeah, it’s pleasure, and emotion, whose warmth is this?

If the night is too dark, oh hoo, just say the word

And we can have it all, I know we can have it all

Because reality’s what we create

Forget this abandoned world, dopamine calms not the unrest

We’ll find ourselves in the Sweet Escape

We’re getting sensual, sensual, sensual

We’re getting sensual, sensual, sensual, oh yea

We’re getting sensual, sensual, sensual

[Chinese]

某個他 真與假 信你都 分得到

醉了嗎 上我家 寬衣解帶遺下仰慕

躲於被窩跟我跳舞 Let it flow, on a roll

輕撫不需急躁

愈是被誘惑 容易 oh no

手中配槍上彈 woo woo

甜蜜膚淺態度 woo

這晚氣氛最好 woo

Baby 別再等 嘴唇 別呼吸

黑夜 若太黑 誰愛上厄運

Oh we can have it all I know we can have it all

cause reality’s what we create

忘記這廢棄國度 胺多酚撫不安

We’ll find ourselves in the Sweet Escape

We gettin sensual, sensual, sensual

We gettin sensual, sensual, sensual, oh yea

不 不怕焦點放空 扯斷絲帶抱擁

解放身體接通 將你我冰封解凍

Body to body all day 全部解開啲鈕都 okay

Wanna let’s go all the way 從這個世界永遠抽離

Woo woo woo 放任 寂寞被慾火抱緊

快樂太陌生 為何沉淪傷心

有愛為何關燈 來繼續卸下防備

yea yea 是快感 感動 誰體温

黑夜 若太黑 oh hoo So say the word

And we can have it all I know we can have it all

cause reality’s what we create

忘記這廢棄國度 胺多酚撫不安

We’ll find ourselves in the Sweet Escape

We gettin sensual, sensual, sensual

We gettin sensual, sensual, sensual, oh yea

We gettin sensual, sensual, sensual
