Lyrics:

[中文]

[English]

某夜 你離開 某天 你走來

One night you left, another day you came back

某刻 我明白 某種 我的愛

At a certain moment I understood, the kind of love I have

睡在 夢境徘徊 世界停擺 只剩我存在

Sleeping, wandering in dreams, the world stands still, only I remain

看見 風吹來 聽見 雲散開

Seeing the wind blow, hearing the clouds part

預見 你的愛 遇見 心雪白

Foreseeing your love, encountering a heart as pure as snow

天地 不慢不快 不好不壞 專心而澎湃

The world moves neither slow nor fast, neither good nor bad, focusing deeply and passionately

不再 費疑猜 不再 害怕醒過來

No more doubts, no more fear of waking up

不再 有不安 有陽光 就有黑暗

No longer anxious—where there is sunlight, there is darkness

放開時間空間而存在

Exist beyond time and space

...

...

天地 不慢不快 不好不壞 專心而澎湃

The world moves neither slow nor fast, neither good nor bad, focusing deeply and passionately

不再 費疑猜 不再 害怕醒過來

No more doubts, no more fear of waking up

不再 有不安 有陽光 就有黑暗

No longer anxious—where there is sunlight, there is darkness

放開時間空間而存在

Exist beyond time and space

日代替月笑著醒過來

The sun replaces the moon, waking up with a smile

...
