[English]

He waits for the world to become gentle too.

Even without a plan, staying put can be a way forward.

How I long to be the protagonist of a beautiful story.

Wishes can be granted, carried by the wind.

Ah, this story is whispered on the wind.

After all, not all words can be said in time.

In the end, everything in this world flies into the night sky.

Like this noisy world, always drifting towards a distant dream.

You tell me firmly.

Like a pair of warm hands.

Holding my wavering heart steady.

Your obvious, open preference.

It steadies my restless, helpless heart.

I swing between loss and longing.

Still waiting, for time to turn back too.

You firmly tell me, who am just watching from the sidelines.

How I long to be the protagonist of this play.

Even as I run away, I still yearn.

Ah, this story is whispered on the wind.

After all, the unspoken words are already carved in my heart.

All things in the world eventually sink into the silent, deep blue.

But you light a lamp in the farthest reaches, a light that never dies.

You tell me firmly.

Like a pair of warm hands.

Holding my wavering heart steady.

Your obvious, open preference.

It steadies my restless, helpless heart.

I swing between loss and longing.

The wind still tells the story, it's not over yet.

The words left unsaid scatter into a sea of stars.

Your steadfastness holds my wavering heart.

Beneath the night sky, I am finally at peace.

Your steadfastness holds my wavering heart.

Beneath the night sky, I am finally at peace.

[Chinese]

他在等等世界也温柔

心里没数停留也可以是一条路

想成为美丽故事的主人多么想

和风一起也能达成愿望

这故事啊在风里轻轻讲

反正不是所有的话都来得及说出来

世间一切最后都飞向了夜空

像喧嚣的尘世总飘向遥远的梦

你坚定的告诉我

像一双温暖的手

按住我摇摆不定的心

你明目张胆的偏爱

能稳住我心绪不定的无奈

我在失去和渴望之间摇摆

还在等等时间也回头

你坚定的告诉我在角落旁观的我

想成为这场戏剧的主人多么想

在逃走的同时也在渴望

这故事啊在风里轻轻讲

反正未说出口的都已刻在了心上

世间种种终沉于寂静的深蓝

你却在极地外点一盏灯不散

你坚定的告诉我

像一双温暖的手

按住我摇摆不定的心

你明目张胆的偏爱

能稳住我心绪不定的无奈

我在失去和渴望之间摇摆

风还在讲 故事没讲完

来不及说的话都飘散成星海

你的坚定按住我摇摆的心

在夜空下 终于自在

你的坚定按住我摇摆的心

在夜空下终于自在
