[English]

I'm looking in the rearview mirror

Everything looks the same

There's nothing but broken streetlights

And I'm just trying to escape

I'm waiting on a distant feeling

I'm waiting for things to change

It's getting hard to ride on empty

But maybe I'm not so far away

('Cause it feels like home)

I found a reason

And suddenly I'm not so alone

I'm finally breathing

Like I never could on my own

Start the countdown let's get it on

Scream our lungs out to our favorite song

'Cause this is where I belong

(This is where I belong)

I can tell you just don't get it

And that you'll never understand

I'm sorry that I can't be perfect

But I'm not changing who I am

Maybe there's no destination

Maybe I'm gonna make mistakes

I'll let you in on one of my secrets

I'm still just as lost as yesterday

(But it feels like home)

I found a reason

And suddenly I'm not so alone

I'm finally breathing

Like I never could on my own

Start the countdown let's get it on

Scream our lungs out to our favorite song

'Cause this is where I belong

Look past the warning signs

The same ones that told me

"Yea' you just turn back and run"

"Play it safe before you come undone"

If you saw through my eyes

This view is worth to climb

Believe me when I say

"There's no place in this world I'd rather be"

I found a reason

And suddenly I'm not so alone

I'm finally breathing

Like I never could on my own

Start the countdown let's get it on

Scream our lungs out to our favorite song

'Cause this is where I belong

I found a reason (I found a reason)

And suddenly I'm not so alone

I'm finally breathing (I'm finally breathing)

Like I never could on my own

Start the countdown let's get it on

Scream our lungs out to our favorite song (Favorite song)

'Cause this is where I belong

('Cause this is where I belong)

'Cause this is where I belong
