[English]

Where is the record of the first peach blossom thief? Who is selling the purple hairpin somewhere?

Here I see more strange things, scenes from movies, people’s seaside memories, I long to see the sea.

I’ve sung about love, now I want to find love.

When you cry, I laugh, all for love, love, love.

One day, opening the dictionary, I can't find love—flowers not blooming, trees not swaying, but I feel freer.

Love still makes me hopeful, still feels like loneliness is a failure. I love, therefore I am.

Finding someone who is happy in love—will they hide away? Lonely ones, can you stand up?

Here I am, helpless, with you. I’ve read stories about waiting, now I’m used to waiting.

I’ve sung about love, now I want to find love.

When you call out, I quiet down—all for love, love, love.

One day, opening the dictionary, I can't find love—flowers not blooming, trees not swaying, but I feel freer.

Love still makes me hopeful, still feels like loneliness is a failure. I love, therefore I am.

I can’t wave away a sky full of dust, can’t afford the brands in every pocket.

When you're bored, I act silly—can love.

Could it be that in this era there’s only one confession? Who hasn't loved before?

Confused and unclear, regardless of good or bad, all for love, love, love.

One day, opening the dictionary, I can't find love—flowers not blooming, trees not swaying, but I feel freer.

Love still makes me hopeful, still feels like loneliness is a failure. I love, therefore I am.

[Chinese]

在 哪裡記載 第一個桃花賊 誰在 哪裡典賣 第一支紫玉釵

我在 這裡見怪更怪 見過電影裡面人家的海 更想去看海

唱過人家的愛 更想找愛

你哭起來 我笑起來 都為了 愛愛愛

有一天翻開辭海找不到愛 花不開 樹不擺 還是更暢快

愛 還是會期待 還是覺得孤單太失敗 我愛故我在

找到愛 幸福的人 肯不肯躲起來 正在 寂寞的人 能不能站起來

我在 這裡陪你無奈 看過小說裡面人家等待 更習慣等待

唱過人家的愛 更想找愛

你喊出來 我靜下來 都為了 愛愛愛

有一天翻開辭海找不到愛 花不開 樹不擺 還是更暢快

愛 還是會期待 還是覺得孤單太失敗 我愛故我在

揮不出滿天滿地的塵埃 買不起滿街口袋的品牌

你悶起來 我傻起來 可以愛

會不會整個時代只有一個告白 誰不愛過不存在

不明不白 不分好歹 都為了 愛愛愛

有一天翻開辭海找不到愛 花不開 樹不擺 還是更暢快

愛 還是會期待 還是覺得孤單太失敗 我愛故我在
