[Verse 1: JVKE]
It was just two lovers
Sittin’ in the car, listenin’ to Blonde
Fallin’ for each other
Pink and orange skies, feelin’ super childish
No Donald Glover
Missed call from my mother
Like, “Where you at tonight?”
Got no alibi

I was all alone with the love of my life
She’s got glitter for skin
My radiant beam in the night
I don’t need no light to see you

[Verse 2: SB19]
Paggising sa umaga, siya agad ang gusto na makita
‘Di ako marunong kumanta pero para sa kaniya, harana, harana
Teka lang, bakit ba parang ‘la sa tono ‘tong aking gitara?
Gusto ko lang namang sabihin na
Mala-maharlika’ng ‘yong ganda
Malaya, ‘di magwawakas tila parirala
Oh, jusko! (Oh-oh-oh)
‘No pa nga ba’ng masasabi ko? (Oh-oh-oh)
(Now you’ve come along)
