Lyrics and translation
Original
Chewing gum,
I know don't hide the sour taste that's in my throat.
But the voice in my head says, "Do you have the stones? "
When you get close enough, I let down my brains and you climb up.
In my room we can do anything you want.
Everyone that I've slept with, all the pairs of hands, I'm reckless.
It's fun while I doubt it.
Why can't I stop everything?
I want speeding up my pulse. I don't sleep, don't dream at all.
Give him nothing personal so I'm not affected. I've been the ice, I've been the flame.
I've been the prize, the ball and chain.
I've been the dice, the magic eight so I'm not affected. I've been the siren, been the saint.
I've been the fruit that leaves a stain.
I've been up on the pedestal, but tonight I just wanna fall.
Tonight I just wanna fall. Yeah, tonight I just wanna fall.
In a mirror on a shirt,
I see a hot mess in an antique skirt.
But the voice in my head says, "Don't let him leave alone. "
I become hurricane.
Visions of my teenage innocence.
How'd I shift shape like that?
Everyone that I've slept with, all the metal that I've missed, it's fun while I doubt it.
Why can't I stop everything? I want speeding up my pulse.
I don't sleep, don't dream at all.
Give him nothing personal so I'm not affected.
I've been the ice, I've been the flame. I've been the prize, the ball and chain.
I've been the dice, the magic eight so I'm not affected.
I've -been the siren, been the saint. -Ooh, she said.
-I've been the fruit that leaves a stain. -She said so.
I've been up on the pedestal, but tonight I just wanna fall.
Yeah, tonight I just wanna fall.
Yeah, tonight I just wanna fall.
I'll kick you out and pull you in. Swear that you were just a friend.
And when it's all over again, say I'm not affected.
-I'll kick you out and pull you in. -Ooh, she said.
-Swear that you were just a friend. -She said so.
And when it's all over again.
-Oh. -Say I'm not affected.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
No, I'm not affected.
But tonight I just wanna fall.
