[English]

I really want to caress you, so I avoid you

I’d rather use distance to make you curious

Avoiding eye contact, I secretly catch my breath

Instructing my arms to stay in place

Rumors say romance is too fast, love fades quickly

That's why I hesitate to step towards you, to say I’ll love you for a lifetime

Feelings are too turbulent like the deep sea, yet I will endure

I only wish that one day you wake up, this love spreads its wings

Not yet embracing, don’t be surprised, God teaches me to wait

Waiting for love to flow like a gentle stream, only then will I promise you, exchanging my life for love

I’m eager to embrace, so I’m praying

Before the sweetness, I walk slowly with you

Having traveled through the journey, waiting for the day to grow old together

Counting life, aging, sickness, and death together

It turns out that getting closer slowly makes this kiss more precious

And I stay for you, to give you shelter

Feelings are too turbulent like the deep sea, yet I will endure

I only wish that one day you wake up, this love spreads its wings

Not yet in love, don’t be surprised, God teaches me to wait

Waiting for love to flow like a gentle stream, only then will I promise you, exchanging my life for love

Learning to restrain for love, faith is entrusted in my heart

I only wish to learn to rely on God, love tamed becomes more wonderful

Even if the earth ages and the sky changes, time will always wait

Waiting for the day you are willing, only then will I promise you, that endless love

I wake love with silence, you react with anticipation

Continuing to approach until we start to love

“Don’t disturb love”

The concert has come to this point, is it not enough?

Hey, what’s up? Are you going to sing that 688 until someone dies?

So tired, it’s the 11th show

Come on, do we really have to sing?

Alright, since it’s like this

I’ll give you a song I haven’t sung in all 11 shows, you’re the first to hear it

I might not even remember the lyrics, I haven’t practiced

Alright, this is for you

...

[Chinese]

很想輕撫你 所以避開你

寧願用距離 去令你好奇

回️避過眼神 先偷偷喘氣

吩咐手臂 放在原地

傳聞浪漫太快 愛戀都走得快

才會遲遲未步向你 説一世愛護你

情太過洶湧像深海 而我卻會忍耐

但求來日你醒過來 這份情像翅膀打開

還沒有相擁別意外 神教會我等待

待情流像細水 才去承諾你 拿一生兑換愛

很心急擁抱 所以在禱告

求甜蜜以前 帶著你慢步

遊歷過旅途 等一天終老

生老病死 一起細數

原來慢慢靠近 更珍惜這一吻

而我停留是為了你 要給予你護蔭

情太過洶湧像深海 而我卻會忍耐

但求來日你醒過來 這份情像翅膀打開

還沒有相戀別意外 神教會我等待

待情流像細水 才去承諾你 拿一生兑換愛

能為愛戀學習按奈 情信寄進心內

但求能學會倚靠神 愛被馴服過更精采

連地老天荒亦不更改 時間永遠等待

等你情願那天 才去承諾你 無止境那份愛

我用沉默叫醒愛情 你用期待做你反應

繼續行近直至開始愛

「不要驚動愛情」

演唱會來到呢度 係唔係唔夠喉啊?

喂點啊你 俾嗰688 唱死人咩?

好攰啊 第11場㗎啦

大佬啊 真係要唱啊?

好啦 既然係咁

就送支我11場都冇唱嘅 係你哋先有呢支歌嘅

我都可能唔記得咗歌詞啦 都冇練過

好啦 送俾你哋
