Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

感受停在我髮端的指尖

Feel the fingertips stopping at my hair

如何瞬間 凍結時間

How to freeze time in an instant

記住望著我堅定的雙眼

Remember looking into my determined eyes

也許已經 沒有明天

Maybe there's no tomorrow anymore

面對浩瀚的星海

Facing the vast sea of stars

我們微小得像塵埃

We are so tiny, like dust particles

漂浮在 一片無奈

Floating in a world of helplessness

緣份讓我們相遇亂世以外

Fate brings us together beyond chaos

命運卻要我們危難中相愛

Yet destiny makes us love in times of danger

也許未來遙遠在光年之外

Perhaps the future is far beyond light years

我願守候未知裡為你等待

I am willing to wait in the unknown for you

我沒想到 為了你 我能瘋狂到

I never imagined that for you I could go so crazy

山崩海嘯 沒有你 根本不想逃

Mountain and sea eruptions, without you I don’t want to run

我的大腦 為了你 已經瘋狂到

My mind, for you, has gone completely insane

脈搏心跳 沒有你 根本不重要

Heartbeat, without you, it doesn't matter at all

一雙圍在我胸口的臂彎

The arms wrapped around my chest

足夠抵擋 天旋地轉

Are enough to withstand the twisting world

一種執迷不放手的倔強

An unyielding stubbornness that refuses to let go

足以點燃 所有希望

Enough to ignite all hope

宇宙磅礡而冷漠

The universe is vast and indifferent

我們的愛微小卻閃爍

Our love is small but sparkling

顛簸 卻如此忘我

Shaken but so lost in the moment

緣份讓我們相遇亂世以外

Fate brings us together beyond chaos

命運卻要我們危難中相愛

Yet destiny makes us love in times of danger

也許未來遙遠在光年之外

Perhaps the future is far beyond light years

我願守候未知裡為你等待

I am willing to wait in the unknown for you

我沒想到 為了你 我能瘋狂到

I never imagined that for you I could go so crazy

山崩海嘯 沒有你 根本不想逃

Mountain and sea eruptions, without you I don’t want to run

我的大腦 為了你 已經瘋狂到

My mind, for you, has gone completely insane

脈搏心跳 沒有你 根本不重要

Heartbeat, without you, it doesn't matter at all

也許航道以外 是醒不來的夢

Maybe beyond the navigation is an unreachable dream

亂世以外 是純粹的相擁

Beyond chaos is pure embrace

我沒想到 為了你 我能瘋狂到

I never imagined that for you I could go so crazy

山崩海嘯 沒有你 根本不想逃

Mountain and sea eruptions, without you I don’t want to run

我的大腦 為了你 已經瘋狂到

My mind, for you, has gone completely insane

脈搏心跳 沒有你 根本不重要

Heartbeat, without you, it doesn't matter at all

相遇亂世以外 危難中相愛

Meeting beyond chaos, loving in times of danger

相遇亂世以外 危難中相愛

Meeting beyond chaos, loving in times of danger

我沒想到

I never imagined
