[English]

I want to make you mine

After work, on the bus, I’m on tiptoe

Searching for that heart-fluttering moment

And I think of your face again

I deeply believe that in some parallel universe

No matter where you are, we’re still drawn to each other

I don’t say it out loud, but it hasn’t changed

After school, riding my bike with the crowd

Returning to that moment when heartache strikes

I just want to see you one more time

With familiar melodies playing in my headphones

It feels like I could meet you

I want to tell you, I love you so much

I want to make you mine

A love so crystal clear

I don’t care when my efforts will be reciprocated

When I look at you, it’s like time stands still

Lost in those eyes that hold me

I want to see you again

After school, riding my bike with the crowd

Returning to that moment when heartache strikes

I just want to see you one more time

With familiar melodies playing in my headphones

It feels like I could meet you

I want to tell you, I love you so much

I want to make you mine

A love so crystal clear

I don’t care when my efforts will be reciprocated

When I look at you, it’s like time stands still

Lost in those eyes that hold me

I want to make you mine

With fearless courage

Wishing to believe that sincere devotion creates memories

Just for that one phrase

I exist because of you

Our encounters, each one is unique

Remembering the restless breaths in your car

It’s not that I don’t understand avoiding things, it’s your gentle voice

I want to make you mine

A love so crystal clear

I don’t care when my efforts will be reciprocated

When I look at you, it’s like time stands still

Lost in those eyes that hold me

I want to make you mine

With fearless courage

Wishing to believe that sincere devotion creates memories

Just for that one phrase

I exist because of you

Our encounters, each one is unique

I want to see you again

I want to see you again

I want to see you again

I want to see you again

I want to see you again

[Chinese]

我想要擁有你

下了班 搭著公車 踮著腳尖

尋找那心動不已的瞬間

又再想起你的臉

深深相信在某個平行的時空裡

不管你會在哪裡 依然互相牽引

不說出口 也沒改變

下了課 騎著單車 隨著人群

回到那心痛來襲的瞬間

好想再見你一面

隨著耳機播放著熟悉的旋律

彷彿就能遇見你

要對你說 很愛你

我想要擁有你

無比清晰的愛情

不在乎何時付出才有回應

當我看著你 像時間暫停

沉醉在有著我的那雙眼睛

想再見你

下了課 騎著單車 隨著人群

回到那心痛來襲的瞬間

好想再見你一面

隨著耳機播放著熟悉的旋律

彷彿就能遇見你

要對你說 很愛你

我想要擁有你

無比清晰的愛情

不在乎何時付出才有回應

當我看著你 像時間暫停

沉醉在有著我的那雙眼睛

我想要擁有你

無所畏懼的勇氣

願相信真心付出就是回憶

只為了那句

我存在是為了你

我們的相遇 每次都是唯一

懷念著 在你車上不安的呼吸

不是不懂逃避 你溫柔的聲音

我想要擁有你

無比清晰的愛情

不在乎何時付出才有回應

當我看著你 像時間暫停

沉醉在有著我的那雙眼睛

我想要擁有你

無所畏懼的勇氣

願相信真心付出就是回憶

只為了那句

我存在是為了你

我們的相遇 每次都是唯一

想再見你

想再見你

想再見你

想再見你

想再見你
