School ponytails

Running past Dongba, it's you

Wishing for the sky to shine so bright that it claps and calls out to you

Now you're in this song

Sweet but not too sweet

For you, I dare to stand tall, jump up

Supporting you through tough times, taking notes together

These lessons might not be perfect

But I’ve always believed in you

When you're down, we'll hug each other tight

Remember every big and small thing about you

Talking under the weather, sharing everything

I'll take you through our days ahead

Dancing many times and then exploring again

Playing more songs as the world blows by

A sweetness that's just three points enough

Filling the universe with joy

Let's imagine this game never ends

Playing together is a rare thing

Feel like hugging? Just do it, don’t be shy

Laugh loudly and shout out your flaws, no more solo acts

Sharing a milk cap and feeling happy

That burst of happiness hits instantly

Looking at each other, sharing drinks, tasting food in the restaurant

So many favorite things in real life

Like loaded candy with flavor

Streaming live can't be interrupted

Supporting your day and night competitions

There are always pauses sometimes

Keep loving, keep believing

Cold jokes, no faith, no love

Supporting you through every major moment, feeling everything

Not afraid of aimless adventures

Still walking with you into future generations

Many more times

Dancing again, then exploring

Many more times playing music together

A sweetness that’s enough with three points

Filling the world with happiness

Like the game will never end

Playing together is rare and precious

Want to hug? Just go ahead, don’t be shy

Laugh out loud and shout your flaws, no worries

Because of you, tears fall under the blanket

Thanks to you, you call out for help

Knowing we can stay up all night is enough

Borrow your sleeve whenever I need

Even if the game is coming to an end

Playing together is wonderful, makes me want more

If you want to give, give it, even if it’s ugly

Laugh and shout about your flaws, don’t worry

Walking with you step by step in wandering

Many more times of playing music together

A sweetness that’s enough with three points

Filling the world with joy

Like the game will never end

Playing together is rare and special

Want to hug? Just do it, don’t be shy

Laugh and shout out your flaws, don’t worry

Shout your flaws with a smile

Don’t worry either

Why don't we play hide and seek again?

But...

Maybe this is the last time...

學校梳的馬尾

狂奔過東壩的你

願望天空燦爛到拍手掌叫你

現在歌中有你

甜美但也不膩

為你爭口氣　跳起

伴你共患難抄筆記

這功課不算最完美

是我始終相信你

難過會一起繑手臂

伴你萬大事都憶記

覆蓋談話的天氣

由我拖你走遍來日我地

多幾次排舞後再漫遊

多幾次世一吹奏

甜度尚有三分已經足夠

填滿快樂宇宙

就當遊戲沒有盡頭

共同遊玩亦罕有

想過要抱就抱別怕醜

能夠笑着喊着那缺失也　別獨奏

遇着一杯奶蓋

而確幸瞬間襲來

互望攤分喝啖再到餐廳試菜

現實很多最愛

如波板糖滿載

直播怎可以　斷開

伴你日或夜的比賽

少不免總有次停賽

讓愛始終相信愛

寒冷笑話不信不愛

伴你萬大事都感覺

不怕無目的開拓

仍要拖你走遍來日世代

多幾次

排舞後再漫遊

多幾次世一吹奏

甜度尚有三分已經足夠

填滿快樂宇宙

就當遊戲沒有盡頭

共同遊玩亦罕有

想過要抱就抱別怕醜

能夠笑着喊着那缺失也　別獨奏

多得你棉被內再淚流

多得你發出呼救

明白尚有通宵已經足夠

隨你借用衣袖

就算遊戲就快盡頭

共同遊玩亦優秀　想夠

要獻就獻就算醜

能夠笑着喊着那缺失也　唔准愁

陪你逐次漫遊

多幾次世一吹奏

甜度尚有三分已經足夠

填滿快樂依舊

就當遊戲沒有盡頭

共同遊玩亦罕有

想過要抱就抱別怕醜

能夠笑着喊着那缺失也　別獨奏

笑着喊着那缺失

也唔准愁

不如我地玩多次捉伊人囉?

不過...

可能係最後一次喇...
