Lyrics & Translation
像大人那樣安靜沈穩的
活得 高亢 低落 高亢 低落
有個沙漏 在心中盪呀
默許時間讓皺紋蔓延了
對在意的事手也握緊了
不願 得過 且過 可無 可有
不是命運 這是我最深愛的
時間啊 來吧
再重來一次我都會
沒有明天般揮霍著
找到你 時間啊 走吧
我依然還是那個她
沒有明天地去愛著
Forever young
Forever young
學著遙望 手卻不會放
我多驕傲 這是我的骨架 我的內臟
對嗎
你深愛著那樣的我 對嗎
遇到每個女孩
我都會告訴她
妳該那樣愛上
Forever young
Forever young
Oh
小嬰兒那樣哭著鬧著
我哄她說你該變成信徒安靜臥著
為 愛情 合掌 因為 妳會
垂直活著 水平留戀著
我一橫一豎描上過程
我一刀一剪摺成了永恆
我 不知 不覺 不知 不覺
畫我的模樣
成你的模樣
Oh
時間啊 來吧
我也曾讓你受過傷
擁有一切都還渴望
還尋著 時間啊 走吧
我也曾為你去流浪
我還是這樣
我願意這樣
Forever young
Forever young
怎麼愛一個人我都沒忘
二十年後 還是一樣輕狂一樣不枉
對嗎 你深愛著那樣的我對嗎
哪天我離去了 我會告訴他
親愛的你該像 沒有明天地唱
Forever young Oh Oh
Forever young Oh Oh
Forever young
