Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

I wanna be

I wanna be

The way you are

The way you are

A shining star

A shining star

So bright in the dark

So bright in the dark

I wanna be

I wanna be

The way you are

The way you are

A shining star

A shining star

Alive in the dark

Alive in the dark

Ah…

Ah…

抹上眼眉 戴上鑽石

Put on makeup, wear diamonds

駁上線路 不需要手槍

Line up on the track, no need for a gun

秀髮散著 眼線漂亮

Hair flowing, perfect eyeliner

發個訊號 爭取你獎賞

Send a signal, chase after your reward

霓虹藏有光的偏差

Neon signs hide the distortion of light

我怕我不可完全無瑕

I'm afraid I can't be completely flawless

圍牆藏有心的虛假

Walls hide the false heart inside

微塵能撩動你嗎

Can tiny dust stir you up?

I’m thinking about you (‘bout you)

I'm thinking about you (‘bout you)

I think maybe I’ll see your face again

Maybe I’ll see your face again

念著你溫暖 (溫暖)

Thinking of your warmth (warmth)

混亂現實亦是個樂園

Chaos is also a paradise in reality

尚在轉

Still spinning

向你揭露 每吋軟弱

Revealing every inch of my weakness to you

數據放著 刪不去我損傷

Data remains, can't erase my scars

浮雲藏有天的昏花

Floating clouds hide the haze of the sky

我怕我只想還原平凡

I'm afraid I just want to return to normal

銀河藏有星的孤單

The galaxy holds the loneliness of stars

如凡人能被愛嗎

Can an ordinary person be loved?

I’m thinking about you (‘bout you)

I'm thinking about you (‘bout you)

I think maybe I’ll see your face again

Maybe I’ll see your face again

念著你溫暖 (溫暖)

Thinking of your warmth (warmth)

混亂現實亦是個樂園

Chaos is also a paradise in reality

尚在轉

Still spinning

I’m thinking about you (What if)

I'm thinking about you (What if)

I’m thinking about you (Maybe I’ll see you again)

I'm thinking about you (Maybe I’ll see you again)

I’m thinking about you

I'm thinking about you

I’m thinking about you (‘bout you)

I'm thinking about you (‘bout you)

maybe I’ll see your face again

Maybe I’ll see your face again

念著你溫暖

Thinking of your warmth

混亂現實亦是個樂園

Chaos is also a paradise in reality

尚在轉

Still spinning

I wanna be

I wanna be

The way you are

The way you are

A shining star

A shining star

So bright in the dark

So bright in the dark

I wanna be

I wanna be

The way you are

The way you are

A shining star

A shining star

So bright in the dark

So bright in the dark

I wanna be

I wanna be

The way you are

The way you are

A shining star

A shining star

So bright in the dark

So bright in the dark
