[English]

I want to make you mine

After work, taking the bus, standing on my tiptoes

Searching for that heart-stirring moment

And I think of your face again

I deeply believe in some parallel universe

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

Not saying it out loud, but it doesn't change

After class, riding my bike, following the crowd

Returning to that moment when the heartache hits

I really want to see you again

As the familiar melody plays through my headphones

It feels like I can meet you

I want to tell you, I love you so much

I want to make you mine

This incredibly clear love

Not caring when I'll get a response after giving my all

When I look at you, it's like time stops

Lost in those eyes that hold me within them

Want to see you again

After class, riding my bike, following the crowd

Returning to that moment when the heartache hits

I really want to see you again

As the familiar melody plays through my headphones

It feels like I can meet you

I want to tell you, I love you so much

I want to make you mine

This incredibly clear love

Not caring when I'll get a response after giving my all

When I look at you, it's like time stops

Lost in those eyes that hold me within them

I want to make you mine

The fearless courage

Willing to believe that sincere devotion becomes memories

Just for that sentence

I exist for you

Every time we meet, it's unique

Remembering the uneasy breathing in your car

It's not that I don't know how to escape, your gentle voice

I want to make you mine

This incredibly clear love

Not caring when I'll get a response after giving my all

When I look at you, it's like time stops

Lost in those eyes that hold me within them

I want to make you mine

The fearless courage

Willing to believe that sincere devotion becomes memories

Just for that sentence

I exist for you

Every time we meet, it's unique

Want to see you again

Want to see you again

Want to see you again

Want to see you again

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
