1
All I am is a man,
2
I want the world in my hands I hate the beach,
3
but I stand in California with my toes in the sand Use the sleeves of my sweater, let's have an adventure
4
Head in the clouds above my gravity center
5
Touch my neck and I'll touch yours You and those little hot wasted shores She knows what I think about
6
And what I think about One love, two miles One love, one house No shirt,
7
no blouse Just us, you find out Nothing I really wanna tell you about No, cause it's too cold
8
Hold for you here and now
9
So let me hold both your hands in the holes of my sweater
10
And if I may just take your breath away I don't mind
11
if there's not much to say Sometimes the silence guides your mind So move to a place so far away
12
The goosebumps start to raise The minute that my left hand meets your waist
13
And then I watch your face Put my finger on your tongue Cause your love will taste it
14
These hearts adore Everyone the other beats hard as four Inside this place is warm Outside it's eyes so poor
15
Coming down One love, two mouse One love, one house No shirt, no blouse Just us,
16
you'll find out Nothing that we don't wanna tell you about No,
17
no, no Cause it's too cold For you here And now,
18
so let me hold Both your hands in the holes of my sweater Cause it's too cold for you here And now,
19
so let me hold Both your hands in the holes of my sweater
20
The end
21
for my life
22
Woah, woah, woah Woah, woah,
23
woah Cause it's too cold for you here and now So let me walk,
24
walk, walk With your hands in the holes of my sweater It's too cold For you here Now let me hold
25
With your hands in the holes of my sweater It's too cold It's too cold
26
The hand goes better

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
