In the city, it smells only of you…
Everywhere, I'm filled with love...
Inhale. 4 heartbeats – BEAT ENTERS

(B) There’s only you (B) — and me —
(B) There’s only you (B) — and me —

I see everything I am, I see goodbye and goodbyes -
(B) There’s only you (B) — and me —
(B) There’s only you (B) — and me —
