[Verse] Wish you could see me when I'm lying in bed My eyes are blinded by your stars My blood is blushing so red (Oh my God) I can see you in my head again Arrows of roses shoot me dead again Wish you could see me when I'm lying in bed My eyes are blinded by your stars My blood is blushing so red (Oh my God) I can see you in my head again Arrows of roses shoot me dead again
[Pre-Chorus] (Let my car run out) Let my car run out (I won't scream or shout) I won't scream or shout (Let's die together) 'Cause I feel like I'm in heaven (No one lasts forever) Dancing with an angel (Let my car run out) Cars burn out (I won't scream or shout) Lost my breath now (Let's die together) 'Cause I feel like I am (No one lasts forever) Falling through the clouds
[Chorus] (Let my car run out, I won't scream or shout) Hope we're on the same wavelength Hope you don't think that I'm crazy (Let's die together, no one lasts forever) Beaches and oceans for my baby Hurry up, and come and save me (Let my car run out, I won't scream or shout) I can't quite hear what you're saying Because my body started shaking (Let's die together, no one lasts forever) Beaches and oceans, earth is quaking That's my heart that you were breaking
[Verse] Wish you could see me when I'm lying in bed My eyes are blinded by your stars My blood is blushing so red (Oh my God) I can see you in my head again Arrows of roses shoot me dead again Wish you could see me when I'm lying in bed My eyes are blinded by your stars My blood is blushing so red (Oh my God) I can see you in my head again Arrows of roses shoot me dead again
[Pre-Chorus] (Let my car run out) Let my car run out (I won't scream or shout) I won't scream or shout (Let's die together) 'Cause I feel like I'm in heaven (No one lasts forever) Dancing with an angel (Let my car run out) Cars burn out (I won't scream or shout) Lost my breath now (Let's die together) 'Cause I feel like I am (No one lasts forever) Falling through the clouds
[Chorus] Hope we’re on the same wavelength Hope you don’t think that I'm crazy Beaches and oceans for my baby Hurry up, and come and save me I can't quite hear what you're saying Because my body started shaking Beaches and oceans, earth is quaking That's my heart that you were breaking
[Outro] (No one lasts forever-ever-ever-ever-ever-ever) (No one lasts forever-ever-ever-ever-ever-ever) (No one lasts forever-ever-ever-ever-ever-ever) (No one lasts forever-ever-ever-ever-ever-ever) (No one lasts forever-ever-ever-ever-ever-ever)
