You are the wind in my sail
You are the spring in my step
You make me lough, you make me cry
And you, make me forget
So tell me when you run, i wanna run with you
Tell me where you hide, i wanna come to you
Tell me where you go, i wanna go there too
Even if you fall, i will go down with you

I will be the one, who comes to rescue you
Tell me where you go, cause i wanna be there too
I hid my secrets in a box
I did exactly what you said
And now i'm feeling so much better
Cause you make me forget
So tell me when you run, i wanna run with you
Tell me where you hide, i wanna come to you
Tell me where you go, cause i wanna go there too
Even if you fall, i will go down with you
I will be the one, who comes to rescue you
Tell me where you go, cause i wanna be there too
So tell me when you run, when you run, when you run
With you, with you
So tell me when you run, when you run, when you run
With you, with you
You set the world on fire
And the flames are getting higher
So I stand beneath the waterfall
Yeah you set the world on fire
And the flames are getting brighter
But I don't feel the heat at all
So tell me when you run, i wanna run with you
Tell me where you hide, i wanna come to you
Tell me where you go, cause i wanna go there too
Even if you fall, i will go down with you
I will be the one, who comes to rescue you
Tell me where you go, cause i wanna be there too
So tell me when you run, when you run, when you run
With you, with you
So tell me when you run, when you run, when you run
With you, with you
So tell me when you run, when you run, when you run
With you, with you

So tell me when you run, when you run, when you run
With you, with you
