[English]

My eyes form a crescent moon shape

Inside my heart, a message—just one glance says it all

When my eyelids fall, loneliness hides a reflection of water

I hurriedly embrace you and listen to commands

Between us, there are ten thousand words

Our way of communication is the beauty of silence

The reaction on my face, not half a second passing—aware of everything

Cause I got U

Our gazes connect, everything is understood

Joy or zoning out, we move together

Cause I got U

When our eyes don’t connect, I can still predict

Love remains silent yet still interacts

Cause I got U

That day I was hurt and wanted to isolate everything

Still trying to pretend it's deep and unfathomable

Appreciation and understanding—only you and no one else

Did we become soulmates then?

Between us, like passwords in our faces

Communication is like a perfect dance

Not a single word spoken—Oh Hello~—I get it all

Cause I got U

Our eyes embrace, facing each other closely

Subtle messages move with us

Cause I got U

Even without an embrace, our responses align

Love can interact through silent understanding

Cause I got

U~

Love can interact through silent understanding

Cause I got

[Chinese]

雙眼現倒彎月型

心中信息 單眼睛 便能確認

當眼簾 落寞藏水影

連忙投入懷內聽命

彼此間 有字句一萬條

溝通法 是沉默的美妙

面頰的反應 無半秒 全知曉

Cause I got U

眼神在接通 已全部看懂

快樂或放空同着步

Cause I got U

眼神未接通 也能預計到

愛情沒作聲仍互動

Cause I got U

那日傷得想將一切孤立

還防衞得想假裝深奧莫測

肯欣賞和開解 從無旁人只得你

才成為靈魂伴侶嗎

彼此間 似密碼的面容

溝通卻 像純熟的舞步

未說出一句 Oh Hello~ 全收到

Cause I got U

眼神在抱擁 兩人共對中

有微妙信息同着步

Cause I got U

眼神未抱擁 也能和應到

愛憑默契都能互動

Cause I got

U~

愛憑默契都能互動

Cause I got
