Description

Love here is like cigarette smoke in a room - beautiful, suffocating, and too fleeting to last. Between jokes about jumping out of windows and poems on crumpled paper, a strange intimacy is born: painful, sincere, desperate. In a world where forests burn and cities collapse, one stubborn spell remains: “don't let go.” And even as everything around them cracks at the seams, these two hold on to each other as if they were the only air they could breathe.

Lyrics and translation

Original

You put on your clothes and you kiss me

Pour out a miniature whiskey

Look through the glass at the city

When it gets dark, it's so pretty

We fell in love very quick

Something about us just clicked

Maybe we're sick, sick in our hearts

You touch me and I fall apart

The building is filling with smoke

Read me that poem you wrote

It gives me hope

And it makes me choke

I've got my head in your palms

I stare at the scars on your arms

Don't let me go

I won't let you go

I lay on the bed where you're lying

You're filming yourself and you're crying

Do you ever dream that you're flying

In the wind with the leaves that are dying?

We had to grow up so quick

Killing the world in a click

Maybe we're sick, sick in our bones

You smile and look down at your phone

The city is filling with smoke

You look out the window and joke

"If I just jumped, do you think I would float?"

Can you hear me scream?

I look at the world and I cannot breathe

The forest is filling with fire

Turn off the TV, I'm tired

I don't wanna know

The skies are aglow

They're taking your body away

And hopelessly all I can say

Is don't let me go

I won't let you go
