I am flying higher and higher
The entire earth is beneath my feet
The stars gather and play above me
Like water from a watering can
You sprinkled yourself all over me
I blossom like a fragrant rose
I lost my balance the very moment I saw you that day
I felt something unfamiliar in the corner of my heart
My heart asks why I even looked at you
Yet, my heart still loves that very moment
Na na na nan na nan na na
Na na na nan na nan na na na na na nan na nan na na na
I am flying higher and higher
The entire earth is beneath my feet
The stars gather and play above me
Like water from a watering can
You sprinkled yourself all over me
I blossom like a fragrant rose
I lost my balance the very moment I saw you that day
I felt something unfamiliar in the corner of my heart
My heart asks why I even looked at you
Yet, my heart still loves that very moment
Na na na nan na nan na na
Na na na nan na nan na na na na na nan na nan na na na
As I stand before the mirror and talk to myself
Oh no, what if someone watches through the window?
Though I bolted the door from inside, you entered my room
I reached out my hand and touched only the air, oh my!
When will the day come for you to move into my home?
The flower garland I made is withering away
Won't all the blankets covering my bed turn into your saree?
Won't that day come even today?
Haan
Na na na nan na nan na na na na na nan na nan na na
Na na na nan na nan na na na
Oh mmm...
Na na na nan na nan na na na na na nan na nan na na
Na na na nan na nan na na na
You asked for my sleep... and I said I wouldn't give it
Yet you came inside with a skeleton key called dreams
Searching for words, I tried so hard to speak
But you taught me the art of speaking through silence
Every path I walk each day has changed today
I lost my way halfway through
Thinking you would come and rescue me
I stood right here until my legs ached
I am flying higher and higher
The entire earth is beneath my feet
The stars gather and play above me
Haaa aaa
Like water from a watering can
You sprinkled yourself all over me
I blossom like a fragrant rose
Aaa a a a aaa
I lost my balance that day the moment I saw you
Female: In the corner of my heart, I felt something unfamiliar
Male: My heart asks why I even looked at you
Yet, my heart still loves... that very moment
Na na na nan na nan na na
Female & Male: Na na na nan na nan na na na
Na na na nan na nan na na na na na nan na nan na na
Thana na na nan na nan na na na...
