[English]

Let go quickly, don't linger here

You used to be with me, like the whole universe

Regret is enough to move on

No need to worry about me, go and rebuild your future

Just let me stand alone on the moon

While you board that lifeboat and fly away forever

All of this can’t be repaired

The crust beneath my feet is starting to break apart inch by inch

Even if I panic, I don’t need to turn the ship around

Leaving first unlocks a new world

And I watch those last ten tanks of oxygen

As you said, a story of gathering and parting makes it more tragic

Being able to see it through is a blessing

Even if I died in the next second, better than living

I still want you to escape safely and arrive at the end peacefully

Being able to save your life, I’m grateful for that

With countless fragments of debris accompanying your flight

The starry sky watching over you for me

From now on, I can no longer stay with you

Looking forward to the next century

And I watch those last ten tanks of oxygen

As you said, a story of gathering and parting makes it more tragic

Being able to see it through is a blessing

Even if I died in the next second, better than living

I still want you to escape safely and arrive at the end peacefully

Being able to save your life, I’m grateful for that

Praying for you to cross through the darkness for me

Watching the dawn rise

And I am about to run out of the last ten tanks of oxygen

Looking back on love and truth in the universe we shared

Flying weightlessly without burden

Willing to sacrifice my remaining life for your victory

Though you're far away, I still love you

Having the chance to hold you tight was luck, whoo

...

[Chinese]

盡快鬆開手 這裡勿逗留

從前陪著我 似是全宇宙

憾動過已足夠

無需再顧慮我 好好去重拾以後

就讓我單丁一位置身月球

而你坐上那救生艙可永遠飛走

這一切難復修

脚下地殼開始逐寸崩解

就算恐慌仍無需轉軚

離開先可解鎖新的世界

而我一個看著最後這十罐氧氣

如你所說故事有聚散才夠凄美

能成全亦算福氣

我就算下秒生不如死

也很想你可安全撤離 再安然到尾

能夠讓你生還已服氣

有著萬片沙礫伴你飛起

萬尺星空代我看守你

從此不可再繼續陪你

期盼下世紀

而我一個看著最後這十罐氧氣

如你所說故事有聚散才夠凄美

能成全亦算福氣

我就算下秒生不如死

也很想你可安全撤離 再安然到尾

能夠讓你生還已服氣

祈求你代我越過黑暗

觀看那晨光升起

而我即將耗盡最後這十罐氧氣

回顧一起宇宙裡歷遍情愛真理

完全無負重飄起

我願意為你犧牲餘生來讓你勝利

你雖然遠離 我依然愛你

曾有幸抱緊也夠運氣 whoo
