When love becomes a relic left behind

Carved into memories like hieroglyphs

Missing you for centuries

That truly etches into the soul

If we could go back to the Ice Age

I wish I could hold you tightly

Your smile is so healing

It revives life itself

The scenery after losing you

Feels like a ruin, like a lost civilization

Could there be a miracle, a glimmer of hope?

Could we meet again, just once more?

I want to see you, I just want to see you

Future or past, I only want to see you

Crossing through thousands upon thousands

In the timeline, we cling to each other in the sea of people

Exhausting all logic and scheming

Reasoning love, the hardest puzzle

I wonder if you are like me

Waiting for a single phrase: “I do”

He said to me that One Day

He'd meet me by the Milky Way

Impossible to stay away

Impossible to stay

You'll be back to me Someday

Let time change the seasons

Let the universe change or stars shift

Never go out of fashion

It's a naïve sincere heart

Future advanced technology

Can't simulate the warmth of your hug

If in another time and space, another body

Could we change to a different ending

I want to see you, I just want to see you

Future or past, I only want to see you

Crossing through thousands upon thousands in the timeline

Clinging to each other in the sea of people

Exhausting all logic and scheming, reasoning love

The hardest puzzle

I wonder if you are like me

Waiting for a single phrase: “I do”

Want to see you, every sunrise and sunset

Want to see you, every expression of yours

Want to cross every parallel

In the future and the past

Tightly cling together

Want to follow every IG post

Not miss your trace

I wonder if you feel the same

Still waiting for that phrase

I do

I do

I do

Just want to see you, future or past, I just want to see you

Crossing thousands upon thousands of timelines

Clinging to each other in the sea of people

Exhausting all logic and scheming, reasoning love

The hardest puzzle

Could you be like me

Waiting for the phrase

I do

He said to me that One Day

He'd meet me by the Milky Way

Impossible to stay away

Impossible to stay

Want to see you every moment

Want to see you every expression

Want to travel across every parallel

In the future and past, tightly cling together

Want to follow every update

Not miss your trace

Could you be the same

Waiting for that phrase: I do

Want to see you every moment

Want to see you every expression

Want to travel across every parallel

In the future and past, tightly cling together

Want to follow every update

Not miss your trace

Could you be the same

Waiting for that phrase: I do

当爱情遗落成遗迹

用象形刻划成回忆

想念几个世纪

才是刻骨铭心

若能回到冰河时期

多想把你抱紧处理

你的笑多疗愈

让人生也甦醒

失去你的风景

像座废墟 像失落文明

能否一场奇迹 一线生机

能不能 有再一次 相遇

想见你 只想见你

未来过去 我只想见你

穿越了 千个万个

时间线里 人海里相依

用尽了 逻辑心机

推理爱情 最难解的谜

会不会 妳也 和我一样

在等待一句 我愿意

He said to me that One Day

He'd meet me by the Milky Way

Impossible to stay away

Impossible to stay

You'll be back to me Someday

任时光更迭了四季

任宇宙物换或星移

永远不退流行

是青涩的真心

未来先进科技

无法模拟 你拥抱暖意

如果另个时空 另个身体

能不能 换另一种 结局

想见你 只想见你

未来过去 我只想见你

穿越了 千个万个 时间线里

人海里相依

用尽了 逻辑心机 推理爱情

最难解的谜

会不会 妳也 和我一样

在等待一句 我愿意

想见你 想见你的每个朝夕

想见你 想见你的每个表情

想穿越每个平行

在未来和过去

紧 紧 相 依

想follow每则IG

不错过你的踪迹

会不会你也一样

还在等待着那句

我愿意

我愿意

我愿意

只想见你 未来过去 我只想见你

穿越了 千个万个 时间线里

人海里 相依

用尽了 逻辑心机 推理爱情

最难解的谜

会不会 妳也 和我一样

在等待一句

我愿意

He said to me that One Day

He'd meet me by the Milky Way

Impossible to stay away

Impossible to stay

想见你 每个朝夕

想见你 每个表情

想穿越 每个平行

在未来 和过去 紧紧相依

想follow每则消息

不错过你的踪迹

会不会你也一样

等待着那句 我愿意

想见你 每个朝夕

Key Grammar Structures

• 当爱情遗落成遗迹

  ➔ Conditional adverbial clauses with '当...的时候' (indicating 'when')

  ➔ This structure uses "当" (dāng) to indicate a temporal condition or 'when' something happens, describing the state when love becomes ruins in a poetic metaphor for lost relationships.

• 若能回到冰河时期

  ➔ Hypothetical conditional with '若...' (expressing 'if' in an unreal scenario)

  ➔ The word "若" (ruò) introduces a hypothetical or counterfactual condition 'if it were possible', wishing to return to the Ice Age to relive intimacy, emphasizing longing and impossibility.

• 失去你的风景 像座废墟

  ➔ Similes with '像' (expressing comparison using 'like')

  ➔ This uses "像" (xiàng) as a simile particle to compare the loss of the person's presence to "a ruined city", metaphorically amplifying desolation and abandonment in advanced figurative language.

• 能不能 有再一次 相遇

  ➔ Question formation with '能不能' (softening rhetorical or open questions for politeness)

  ➔ The phrase "能不能" (néng bù néng) forms a polite or wondering question, seeking "could there be another encounter", typical in lyrical expressions of hope and desperation in conditional longing.

• 穿越了 千个万个 时间线里

  ➔ Reduplication and intensification with '千...个...个' (emphasizing immense quantity)

  ➔ Repetition of "千个万个" (qiān gè wàn gè) intensifies the scale of traversing "thousands upon thousands of timelines", conveying vastness and persistence in a time-travel metaphor for unyielding desire.

• 会不会 妳也 和我一样

  ➔ Rhetorical questions with '会不会' (seeking affirmation or mirroring in uncertainty)

  ➔ The structure "会不会" (huì bù huì) creates a rhetorical question wondering "would it be that you too are the same as me", implying shared longing and symmetry in emotional reciprocity at an advanced conversational level.

• 如果另个时空 另个身体

  ➔ Complex conditionals with '如果...' (hypothetical alternatives in parallel universes)

  ➔ Using "如果" (rúguǒ) to hypothesize "if in another space-time, another body", explores counterfactual realities, showcasing advanced philosophical pondering on fate and alternative outcomes.

• 用尽了 逻辑心机

  ➔ Perfective aspect with '尽了' (indicating completion or exhaustion of an action)

  ➔ "尽了" (jìn le) marks the exhaustive use of "logic and scheming", portraying total depletion in the futile effort to solve love's mystery, highlighting emotional strain in nuanced aspectual grammar.

• 想要穿越每个平行

  ➔ Desires with modal verbs like '想要' (expressing wishes or intentions parallel to conditionals)

  ➔ "想要" (xiǎng yào) conveys a strong "want to traverse every parallel" universe, blending modal desire with hypothetical traversals, ideal for C1-C2 learners exploring volitional complements.

• 我会一直在等待着那句 我愿意

  ➔ Future continuative with '会一直在' (expressing ongoing commitment in future states)

  ➔ "会一直在" (huì yī zhí zài) indicates continuous future waiting for "that sentence 'I do'", emphasizing perpetual hope in romantic declarations, refining aspect for advanced temporal expressions.
