[English]

I promised to take you wandering

But I turned back halfway

Falling into an ocean of self-blame

I realized I can’t live without you

So I decided to go back

But you were no longer there

I can accept all of you

Every little quirk

I can take you to eat so many

Delicious things

I can occasionally bring you

Little moments of sweetness

Just like in the past few years

Creating surprises for you every day

I can heal your heart’s wounds

And only you can bring me joy

Let’s not part ways again

Can we

Be together

We have too many memories

Falling for you makes no sense

I just happened to meet you when my heart first stirred

I don’t want a future without you

I only want to stay with you forever

Before my “expiration date” arrives

While you’re still willing

Three years of memories

How can I erase them?

Can we pick up where we left off?

Stay together forever

Before it’s too late

Let’s not part ways again

Can we

Be together

We have too many memories

Falling for you makes no sense

I just happened to meet you when my heart first stirred

I don’t want a future without you

I only want to stay with you forever

Before my “expiration date” arrives

While you’re still willing

Can we

Be together

We have too many memories

Falling for you makes no sense

I just happened to meet you when my heart first stirred

I don’t want a future without you

I only want to stay with you forever

Before my “expiration date” arrives

While you’re still willing

Before my “expiration date” arrives

While you’re still willing

Before my “expiration date” arrives

While you’re still willing

说好带你流浪

而我却半路返航

坠落自责的海洋

发现离不开你

我开始决定回去

你已不在原地

我可以接受你的所有

所有小脾气

我可以带你去吃很多

很多好东西

我可以偶尔给你带来

带来小甜蜜

就像前几年那样

每天都会给你制造很多惊喜

你的心伤我能治愈

我的快乐也只有你能给予

我们就别再分离

可不可以

和你在一起

我们之间有太多回忆

爱上了你没什么道理

只是刚好情窦初开遇到你

不希望我的未来不是你

只愿意和你永远不分离

趁我还没有过保质期

趁你还愿意

三年的回忆

我如何抹去

能不能再拾起

永远在一起

还没有过期

我们就别再分离

可不可以

和你在一起

我们之间有太多回忆

爱上了你没什么道理

只是刚好情窦初开遇到你

不希望我的未来不是你

只愿意和你永远不分离

趁我还没有过保质期

趁你还愿意

可不可以

和你在一起

我们之间有太多回忆

爱上了你没什么道理

只是刚好情窦初开遇到你

不希望我的未来不是你

只愿意和你永远不分离

趁我还没有过保质期

趁你还愿意

趁我还没有过保质期

趁你还愿意

趁我还没有过保质期

趁你还愿意
