Prepoln lokal,
Tugja za zal
Cela si ko od porcelan
Pesni bez nas
Race ko mraz
Moram da te imam jas

Od dzvezdite zbuneti
Go zemam tvojot broj
Pisuvam poraka
Vlezi vo zhivotot moj

Ti si son, sonot moj
Gledam kako te gali
Ne sum bog ni heroj
Na srce fitil zapali

Prepoln lokal
Tugja za zal
Cela si ko od porcelan
Nikade ne brzam
Mozam i sakam i znam

Ti si son, sonot moj
Gledam kako te gali
Ne sum bog ni heroj
Na srce fitil zapali

Ti si son, sonot moj
Gledam kako te gali
Ne sum bog ni heroj
Na srce fitil zapali

Ti si son, sonot moj
Gledam kako te gali
Ne sum bog ni heroj
Na srce fitil zapali
Ti si sonot moj

A crowded club
You're someone else's, unfortunately
All over you are as if made of porcelain
Songs without us
Hands of ice
I have to have you

From the confused stars
I take your number
I'm writing a message
Come into my life

You're a dream, my dream
I watch how he pets you
I'm not a god or a hero
Light up the fuse of this heart

A crowded club
You're someone else's, unfortunately
All over you are as if made of porcelain
I'm not rushing anywhere
I can and I want and I know

You're a dream, my dream
I watch how he pets you
I'm not a god or a hero
Light up the fuse of this heart

You're a dream, my dream
I watch how he pets you
I'm not a god or a hero
Light up the fuse of this heart

You're a dream, my dream
I watch how he pets you
I'm not a god or a hero
Light up the fuse of this heart
You are my dream
Day after day
Time after time
You just try to make me cry
Hand in your hand
Tears in my eyes
I pretend you make me fly

But don't ask me, it's plan to see
I'm not the man to be
You're a cuddling toy, I am the boy
Who will break up with you to be free

Make me day, get away
Take it all, baby, please go
Try to pay, another way
Or I will find another love

Day after day
Time after time
You just try to make me cry
But don't you see that I am the boy
Who will break up with you to be free

(Make my day)
(Give it now, baby)

Make me day, get away
Take it all, baby, please go
Try to pay, another way
Or I will find another love

Make me day, get away
Take it all, baby, please go
Try to pay, another way
Or I will find another love
