[English]

Is it okay?

People make mistakes too.

Don't be afraid.

Trust your instincts, they're right.

After I met you, my mind felt like it was suffocating.

Filled with excitement, I lost consciousness.

Before me, there's a universe—you’re as rare as a shooting star.

A single glance, a tiny reaction.

Oh baby, you.

I have a love for you here.

Old rules and boundaries—that must be broken.

Just come and dance with me.

Beyond the fences, there are thorns—love is on the way.

Love is on the way (the road is too crowded).

Oh baby, love is on the way (there's still some space).

Give it to me, baby.

How do I get suppressed, how do I get hurt.

Healing my love sickness.

How does what sinks in corrode—this kind.

So charming it's intoxicating.

Someone help me, come save me quickly.

Find a crack, rest with me.

Don’t speak when we look at each other—just one touch, and sparks fly.

Only cherish, without any attack.

Oh baby, you.

I have a love for you here.

Old rules and boundaries—that must be broken.

Just come and dance with me.

Beyond the fences, there are thorns—love is on the way.

Love is on the way.

Oh baby, you.

I have a love for you here.

Old rules and boundaries—that must be broken.

Just come and dance with me.

Beyond the fences, there are thorns—love is on the way.

Love is on the way (the road is too crowded).

Oh baby, love is on the way (there's still some space).

Give it to me, baby.

[Chinese]

可以嗎

人也是會犯錯的

不要怕

要信直覺是對的

情形如碰上你後 我腦部像缺氧後

充滿刺激 失去意識

在面前是個宇宙 你似流星般罕有

一個眼色 一下小反應

Oh baby you

我這裡有個愛你的

清規戒律 是要打破的

Just come and move with me

如圍欄外有荊棘 love is on the way

Love is on the way (沿路太擠逼)

Oh baby, love is on the way (還是有空隙)

Give it to me, baby

如何被壓抑 如何被痛擊

醫我的戀愛病情

沉下去的 如何侵蝕 (這個類型)

迷人到要命

誰人來救救我吧 你快來救救我吧

找個罅隙 跟我歇息

互望時別要說話 兩個人一觸即發

只有愛惜 不帶攻擊性

Oh baby you

我這裡有個愛你的

清規戒律 是要打破的

Just come and move with me

如圍欄外有荊棘 love is on the way

Love is on the way

Oh baby you

我這裡有個愛你的

清規戒律 是要打破的

Just come and move with me

如圍欄外有荊棘 love is on the way

Love is on the way (沿路太擠逼)

Oh baby, love is on the way (還是有空隙)

Give it to me, baby
