Description
The moon is sometimes closer than it seems, especially when it hangs over the bed and resembles someone's lips. Everything is fleeting, almost a dream, where the boundaries between desire and memory blur like light in the semi-darkness. The mind whispers, "you can't," but the heart replies, "what if you actually can?" And the eternal dialogue begins between what is right and what is impossible to hold back. The air trembles with a quiet "please," as if the world could be persuaded with a single whisper. Even the touch of hair becomes a prayer, not for passion, but for permission to be alive for just a moment. Everything around dissolves into this "I don't know," and this uncertainty doesn't make it scary, but strangely warm, like the light of that very moon hanging above the bed, which seems to have seen everything before.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Your mouth floats above my bed at night
My own private moon
Just because the mind can make up whatever it wants
Doesn't mean that it'll never come true
Won't ever happen
(Just because she can)
Please, could I change that?
Is that the right thing to do?
Oh, I just don't know
I just don't know
Is that the right thing to do?
Oh, I just don't know
I just don't know
Let me introduce one to the other
The dream and the real
Get them acquainted
Just because she can
Introduce
Just because she can
A mouth to a mouth
Is that the right thing to do?
Oh, I just don't know
I just don't know
Is that the right thing to do?
Oh, I j-just don't know
I just don't know
Can I just sneak up from behind?
Th-th-, to the back of his head
And then I lift up his hair
And nibble ever so lightly (that's where the hair starts)
Just because she can
Now please can I kiss him?
(Just because she can)
Yo quiero besarle
(Just because she can)
Come on, please? Can I kiss him?
(Just because she can)
I just don't know, oh
(Just because she can) can
There's a line there, I can't cross it (ooh)
(Just because she can)
There's a line there, I can't cross it (come)
(Just because she can)
There's a line there, I can't cross it
Just because she can (oh, it must come)
There's a line there, I can't cross it
There's a line there, I can't cross it (just)
There's a line there, I can't cross it (can)
There's a line there, I can't cross it (can)
There's a line there, I can't cross it
