How can I describe you so perfectly?

What can I compare you to that would feel special?

My feelings for you are so strong,

yet I don’t really know you, just going by instinct.

You’re like the comfort of being wrapped in a blanket,

but also like the wind, impossible to grasp.

Like the scent of perfume on my wrist,

like a pair of red high heels I can’t put down.

How can I describe you so perfectly?

What can I compare you to that would feel special?

My feelings for you are so strong,

yet I don’t really know you, just going by instinct.

You’re like the comfort of being wrapped in a blanket,

but also like the wind, impossible to grasp.

Like the scent of perfume on my wrist,

like a pair of red high heels I can’t put down.

You’re like the comfort of being wrapped in a blanket,

but also like the wind, impossible to grasp.

Like the scent of perfume on my wrist,

like a pair of red high heels I can’t put down.

Loving you feels like a conflicting impulse, wanting to turn left and right at once.

It’s crazy, but I’m afraid there’s no turning back.

Can you let me stop this chase?

Let those be the last, the only,

red high heels.

该怎么去形容你最贴切

拿什么跟你作比较才算特别

对你的感觉 强烈

却又不太了解 只凭直觉

你像窝在被子里的舒服

却又像风捉摸不住

像手腕上散发的香水味

像爱不释手的 红色高跟鞋

该怎么去形容你最贴切

拿什么跟你作比较才算特别

对你的感觉 强烈

却又不太了解 只凭直觉

你像窝在被子里的舒服

却又像风捉摸不住

像手腕上散发的香水味

像爱不释手的 红色高跟鞋

你像窝在被子里的舒服

却又像风捉摸不住

像手腕上散发的香水味

像爱不释手的

我爱你有种左灯右行的冲突

疯狂却怕没有退路

你能否让我停止这种追逐

就当那双 最后唯一的

红色高跟鞋
