Lyrics and translation
Original
Your parents say you're too much to handle
But I think they're just scared
They're in love with suburbia, and you're anywhere but there
I wish they saw you like I do
Instead of only looking through their neighbors' eyes
But as hard as they try, they also let me hold you tight
I can be here for you
You're my football team, and I'm rooting for you
All your stars are heroes just 'cause they run real fast
They don't even know you, but you're their numbers on your back
I watch you chase for approval, only to find a kind of hell
'Cause the only way to land that game is to sacrifice yourself
Why can't they leave you alone, leave you alone, leave you alone?
So let me hold you, let, let me hold, let me hold you close
I can be here for you
You're my football team, and I'm rooting for you
I can be here for you
You're my football team, and I'm rooting for you
So let me hold you close, let me hold you, let me hold you close
So let me hold you close, let me hold you, let me hold you close
