[English]

I just want you by my side

But I can't see how far apart we are

A秋 breeze sneaks into my bed

Then I close my eyes again

I tell myself

To forgive the things we've missed

My heart drifts with the ticking time

Watching different circles of life

Searching for shared memories

Trying to learn to believe in love again

I forget when I started

Thinking of every word you said, keeping them in my heart

Only to realize it’s been so long since I did that

I close my eyes and look at the sky

But I can’t see that romantic feeling from my memories

Instead, it’s that unspoken

“I really, really like you,” regret

It’s not that I doubt, but that I care

I just care whether you care about me the same way

In the end, thinking of your smile is my happiest moment

Then I’m right back

In the heavy rain from before

This time, my left shoulder stays dry

I wear headphones

Hiding from people in different worlds

Again, I listen to a melody that might be the same as yours

“Where are you?” “I miss you”

A few simple words aren’t enough to show

All my longing, hidden in this pen

I’ve gotten used to what you’re used to

Every pain, every pace, every “you don’t want”

People left, but everything still remains

I close my eyes and look at the sky

But I can’t see that romantic feeling from my memories

Instead, it’s that unspoken

“I really, really like you,” regret

It’s not that I doubt, but that I care

I just care whether you care about me the same way

In the end, thinking of your smile is my happiest moment

I close my eyes and look at the sky

But I can’t see that romantic feeling from my memories

Instead, it’s that unspoken

“I truly, truly like you, really like you, oh!”

Even after a long time

Returning to that still

Uncontrollably thinking of your smile

[Chinese]

我想要你在我身邊

但距離怎麼看不清

一陣秋風竄進了被窩

又閉上眼睛

自己說

原諒那些我們錯過的事

心隨著時間滴答在漂流

看著不同的生活圈

找尋共同的記憶

試著學會再相信愛情

忘記了什麼時候

開始把你說的每一句話放在心上

才發現原來很久沒這樣

閉上眼看天空

看不見記憶中那種浪漫

而是那說不出

「我真的好喜歡你」的遺憾

不是我懷疑而是我在意

我只是在意你有沒有一樣在意我

到頭來想著你的笑容是我最幸福的時候

又同樣回到

上一個下不停的大雨中

左邊肩膀這次沒濕透

我戴著耳機

躲避著不同世界的人群

再一次聽可能和你相同的旋律

「你在哪裡？」「我想你」

簡單的幾句不夠表明

將所有思念藏在這支筆

習慣了你習慣的

每個傷、每個步調、每個「你不想要」

人走了一樣什麼都還在

閉上眼看天空

看不見記憶中那種浪漫

而是那說不出

「我真的好喜歡你」的遺憾

不是我懷疑而是我在意

我只是在意你有沒有一樣在意我

到頭來想著你的笑容是我最幸福的時候

閉上眼看天空

看不見記憶中那種浪漫

而是那說不出

「我真的真的好喜歡你，好喜歡你呦！」

就算是過了很久

回到那依舊

情不自禁地想著你的笑容
