[English]

Feel the fingertips stopping at my hair

How time freezes in an instant

Remember to look into my steadfast eyes

Perhaps there is no tomorrow

Facing the vast sea of stars

We are as small as dust

Floating in a sea of helplessness

Fate brought us together beyond the chaos

Yet destiny wants us to love in times of peril

Perhaps the future is far away, light-years beyond

I am willing to wait for you in the unknown

I never thought I could go crazy for you

Landslides and tsunamis, without you I don't want to escape

My brain has gone crazy for you

Pulse and heartbeat, without you they don't matter

A pair of arms wrapped around my chest

Strong enough to withstand the turning of the world

A kind of stubbornness that won't let go

Enough to ignite all hope

The universe is vast and indifferent

Our love is small yet sparkling

Bumpy, yet so selfless

Fate brought us together beyond the chaos

Yet destiny wants us to love in times of peril

Perhaps the future is far away, light-years beyond

I am willing to wait for you in the unknown

I never thought I could go crazy for you

Landslides and tsunamis, without you I don't want to escape

My brain has gone crazy for you

Pulse and heartbeat, without you they don't matter

Perhaps beyond the route is a dream I can't wake from

Beyond the chaos is a pure embrace

I never thought I could go crazy for you

Landslides and tsunamis, without you I don't want to escape

My brain has gone crazy for you

Pulse and heartbeat, without you they don't matter

Meeting beyond the chaos, loving in times of peril

Meeting beyond the chaos, loving in times of peril

I never thought

...

[Chinese]

感受停在我髮端的指尖

如何瞬間 凍結時間

記住望著我堅定的雙眼

也許已經 沒有明天

面對浩瀚的星海

我們微小得像塵埃

漂浮在 一片無奈

緣份讓我們相遇亂世以外

命運卻要我們危難中相愛

也許未來遙遠在光年之外

我願守候未知裡為你等待

我沒想到 為了你 我能瘋狂到

山崩海嘯 沒有你 根本不想逃

我的大腦 為了你 已經瘋狂到

脈搏心跳 沒有你 根本不重要

一雙圍在我胸口的臂彎

足夠抵擋 天旋地轉

一種執迷不放手的倔強

足以點燃 所有希望

宇宙磅礡而冷漠

我們的愛微小卻閃爍

顛簸 卻如此忘我

緣份讓我們相遇亂世以外

命運卻要我們危難中相愛

也許未來遙遠在光年之外

我願守候未知裡為你等待

我沒想到 為了你 我能瘋狂到

山崩海嘯 沒有你 根本不想逃

我的大腦 為了你 已經瘋狂到

脈搏心跳 沒有你 根本不重要

也許航道以外 是醒不來的夢

亂世以外 是純粹的相擁

我沒想到 為了你 我能瘋狂到

山崩海嘯 沒有你 根本不想逃

我的大腦 為了你 已經瘋狂到

脈搏心跳 沒有你 根本不重要

相遇亂世以外 危難中相愛

相遇亂世以外 危難中相愛

我沒想到
