[English]

Back and forth, you're both far and near

In the end, I just want to hold you tight

Close friends say we complement each other well

Waiting for the day when predictions come true

24 hours, I can't stop thinking of you

Every second, I want to meet you

When the phone rings, it feels like sitting on a needle

Something happens on this day

You kiss me so sweetly

The long wait along the way has turned into beauty

Once danced alone at night, creating such a beautiful atmosphere

Never changed my heart, in that moment of contact, you become even more attractive

You kiss me so sweetly

The intertwining of time makes love more real

Between the rings of years, a kind of heart addiction is engraved

Our lips close together, breaking the seal

So subtle, romantic, a perfect match

It's you and me, yay

This revenge-style romance drives away all darkness

...

24 hours, unable to separate

Not even earthquakes or avalanches can break us apart

Looking up for too long, I want to give you all my love

Want to walk together, step by step through a thousand miles

You kiss me so sweetly

The long wait along the way has turned into beauty

Once danced alone at night, creating such a beautiful atmosphere

Never changed my heart, in that moment of contact, you become even more attractive

You kiss me so sweetly

The intertwining of time makes love more real

Between the rings of years, a kind of heart addiction is engraved

Our hearts close together, breaking the seal

So subtle, romantic, a perfect match

It's you and me, yay

This revenge-style romance drives away all darkness

Oh you're my love, oh you're my love, and this is worth the wait

Oh you're my love, I say, I can't get enough

Oh you're my love, oh you're my love, and this is worth the wait

Oh you're my love, I say, I can't get enough

...

[Chinese]

反反覆覆 共你既遠且近

始終我都是想抱緊

身邊知己 亦說你我很相襯

等有日會預言成真

24 hours 未停想念

分秒都想與你遇見

來電時彷彿坐於針氈

有事發生 在這天

You kiss me so sweetly

沿路的苦等 已變做美感

曾在夜裡獨舞鋪出多優美氣氛

不曾變心 接觸瞬間 你更加吸引

You kiss me so sweetly

時日的交織 叫愛情更真

年輪間刻記一種心癮

雙唇貼緊 揭開的封印

這樣微妙 羅曼蒂克 對分

It's you and me, yay

這報復式戀愛 全面驅走晦暗

24 hours 未能分離

地震雪崩都不散去 退避

仰望太久 我太想掏盡愛給你

想一起 踏過千里

You kiss me so sweetly

沿路的苦等 已變做美感

曾在夜裡獨舞鋪出多優美氣氛

不曾變心 接觸瞬間 你更加吸引

You kiss me so sweetly

時日的交織 叫愛情更真

年輪間刻記一種心癮

心意貼緊 揭開的封印

這樣微妙 羅曼蒂克 對分

It's you and me, yay

這報復式戀愛 全面驅走晦暗

Oh you're my love, oh you're my love, and this is worth the wait

Oh you're my love, I say, I can't get enough

Oh you're my love, oh you're my love, and this is worth the wait

Oh you're my love, I say, I can't get enough
