So lost and so alone, can’t take it no more

You watch me lose control dancing on the floor

Wanna feel the pound of a heartbeat?

Do you wanna feel a rush when I go insane?

I wanna be unwrapped like a candy cane

The only ones you love, no time for pain

Wanna be a bad little secret?

Do you wanna feel the blood running through your veins?

I wanna be the girl inside your brain

But only for a night wanna play the game

I look to your eyes, they flicker like mine

We kiss in the rain

I don’t even know your name

We’re soaring so high through thundering skies

Do you feel the same?

I don’t even know your name

Your touch electrifies my body and soul

You’re such a sweet escape now I can’t let go

I wanna lose myself in the passion

Do you wanna be my boy? Wanna run away?

I wanna stick with you on a kiss and chase

I can see me chilling at your place

Only one to be a distraction

Now the only thing I see seems to be your face

I wanna be the girl that keeps you safe

I only meant tonight, but it must be fate

I look to your eyes, they flicker like mine

We kiss in the rain

I don’t even know your name

We’re soaring so high through thundering skies

Do you feel the same?

I don’t even know your name

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I don’t even know your name

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I don’t even know your name

I, I will not just fall in love, fall in love right here

I, I can’t fight this feeling, oh, feeling so lovesick

Oh, I really can’t believe this, but it’s so damn true

So much magic come between us

Now I’m all for you

I look to your eyes, they flicker like mine

We kiss in the rain

I don’t even know your name

We’re soaring so high through thundering skies

Do you feel the same?

I don’t even know your name

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I don’t even know your name

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I don’t even know your name

I’m standing close to you

We got the city breaking down

Stuck in an avalanche

We got the whole world shaking

Young, I want it free

Got everything we need

A thousand shooting stars

And many mysteries

And you know we got more to show

The planets are aligned

We got something divine

So open up the sky

You know this is our time

Oh, now you know

We gotta live right now

Jumping off the edge

Don’t ever slow us down for nothing

We wanna live right now

Jumping off the edge

We’re gonna live our lives for something more

Hey, let’s explo-o-o-ode, (explode)!

‘Cause we got that dynamite inside our bones

Come on, let’s explo-o-o-ode, (explode)!

Now we got that 1, 2, 3, come on, let’s go!

Let’s go!

Oh oh!

Young, I want it free

Got everything we need

A thousand shooting stars

And many mysteries

The planets are aligned

We got something divine

So open up the sky

You know this is our time

Oh, now you know

God, that’s so classic

I’m three precent away from bein’ stranded

The way I left was way too cinematic

The realization hadn’t even landed

God fuckin’ dammit

Don’t wanna be put back, back in a moment where

I’d wanna change my own mind

Already got my bags, already cleared the air

Do I even need it that bad?

And I wanna come back

‘Cause I left my, left my, left my charger

(But) I don’t wanna go back

It’ll make it, make it, make it, make it harder

Should be by the bedside and, if I’m right, on the left side, yeah

(But) That’ll make it, make it, make it, make it harder

One thing linkin’ me to you

Plugged in, waitin’ in your room

I left just a piece of me there

Text sent, but you left me on read

I wish I could tell it straight

No games, lookin’ at your face

I left a piece of my heart there

I wish I never cared, yeah

Don’t wanna be put back, back in a moment where

I’d wanna change my own mind, yeah

Already got my bags, already cleared the air

Do I even need it that bad? No

And I wanna come back

‘Cause I left my, left my, left my charger

I don’t wanna go back

It’ll make it, make it, make it, make it harder

Should be by the bedside and, if I’m right, on the left side, yeah

(But) That’ll make it, make it, make it, make it harder

And I wanna come back

‘Cause I left my, left my, left my charger

I don’t wanna go back

It’ll make it, make it, make it, make it harder

Should be by the bedside and, if I’m right, on the left side, yeah

But that’ll make it, make it, make it, make it harder

And if I’m gonna go back

Would you make it, make it harder?

‘Cause I don’t wanna go back

To the moment when I left and how it started

And I think this was a sign

But if you’re fine, it don’t feel right, yeah

‘Cause it’ll make it, make it, make it, make it harder

Leaving More Than a Charger Behind

“CHARGER (Charli XCX Rework)” explores the emotional aftermath of a breakup through the simple yet loaded metaphor of leaving a phone charger behind.

The lyrics vividly capture a push-and-pull between the desire to move on and the temptation to return for what was left behind, both literally and figuratively. The repetition of “make it harder” highlights the internal struggle of revisiting old wounds, making the listener feel the weight of nostalgia and the pain of unfinished business.

Dream glow (hey hey)

You’ll glow (hey hey)

You’ll glow (hey hey)

[English translation:]

I spend my whole life following the night time

Can’t see the stop sign what you gonna say (Hey)

Wandering quietly right into my dreams

It’s all that I see what you gonna say (Hey)

Always feeling something bigger something real wild

Keep on shining make it brighter than a spotlight (Hey hey)

Sometimes I stop and stare

Follow my dreams right there

Dream glow (Hey hey)

Sometimes my dreams come true

Sometimes they turn to blue

Dream glow (Hey hey)

The nice boys said to be easily raised

Had scratched knees they used to hide away (Hey)

My star sign is of the Sun’s fragment

A radiant blackout, the dance of shadows (Hey)

Inside my heart I feel an undying light

Won’t lose to an opponent I haven’t brushed against (Hey hey)

What used to be a blinding future ay ay ay

Pausing it for a while ay ay

Dream glow (Hey hey)

My dream is to stay ay ay ay

I won’t give up ay ay

You’ll glow (Hey hey)

In the dark dawn, spreading trembling wings

Keep on shining make it brighter than a spotlight (Hey hey)

Sometimes I stop and stare

Follow my dreams right there

Dream glow (Hey hey)

My dream is here to stay ay ay ay

I won’t give up ay ay

Dream glow (Hey hey)

You’ll glow (Hey hey)

You’ll glow (Hey hey)

Why can’t you just let me sleep?

I don’t know, I don’t know

Locked inside this broken dream

I can’t go, I can’t go

Body turns into paper, ink stains on my hand

Writing turns to bruises, I can’t stand

Living in a heartbreak high, heartbreak high

We’re dying in a heartbreak high, heartbreak high

Ice blue lips upon my skin

So cold, so cold

Nothing with each other, our lights begin to flame

Sick down to my stomach, we can’t change

We’re living in a heartbreak high, heartbreak high

Dying in a heartbreak high, heartbreak high

Ooh, never gonna take me there

Ooh, never gonna make it there

We’re living in a heartbreak high, heartbreak high

Dying in a heartbreak high, heartbreak high

We’re living in a heartbreak high, heartbreak high

Dying in a heartbreak high, heartbreak high

Living in a heartbreak high, heartbreak high

(Ooh, never gonna take me there)

Dying in a heartbreak high, heartbreak high

(Ooh, never gonna make it there)

Living in a heartbreak high, heartbreak high

(Ooh, never gonna take me there)

Dying in a heartbreak high, heartbreak high

(Ooh, never gonna make it there)
