[English]

Knock, knock on all the doors

Knocking along the doorway, comparing the charm of love

Searching, finding if there's a moon to scoop up

Talking about love, who's reliable, who can depend on

Then your gentle glow shines through

Like the ultimate treasure chest

Moments of lost paths perhaps

All for creating this scene, it’s been brewing

Seeking the way back home

Others just seem to go through the motions

Open this door, only then realize yesterday

Banished to another land

Born and raised from childhood

Meeting you, knowing my ideals first

One person, a lifetime, a soulmate

Falling in love in just a moment

...

Open up the future with you

Open up endless true love

Actually, I’ve been hoping

Leaning on your shoulder, gazing at the blue sky and sea

Right at the ocean’s edge

Realizing childhood dreams while you’re here

Finding the way back home

Others just seem to go through the motions

Open this door, only then realize yesterday

Banished to another land

Born and raised from childhood

Meeting you, knowing my ideals first

One person, a lifetime, a soulmate

Falling in love in just a moment

...

Finding the way back home

Others just seem to go through the motions

Open this door, only then realize yesterday

Banished to another land

Born and raised from childhood

Meeting you, knowing my ideals first

One person, a lifetime, a soulmate

Falling in love in just a moment

Lift your head and peel back the veil

It turns out the sea breeze is just right

Fresh as if someone’s come into the world

That first chapter

The sky was once small in stories

Imagining you, I realize this is no wishful thinking

One person, a lifetime, a soulmate

Falling in love in just a moment

...

[Chinese]

敲 敲 所有的大門

敲 沿門來比較 戀之風貌

尋找 找 可有月未撈

找 談情誰可靠 可依靠

然後你柔柔發亮

像最終極藏寶箱

大概段段迷路戲

為著營造這幕才醖釀

尋回家的方向

旁人盡顯得過場

推開這門 才明瞭昨日

放逐他鄉

從前天生天養

遇著你 先知我的理想

一個人 一生 一對象

一刻戀上

開 開 跟你的未來

開 環迴無遮蓋 的真愛

其實我常盼待

搭你肩望著青天碧海

正好 在浪潮盡處

實現童稚那美夢 而你在

尋回家的方向

旁人盡顯得過場

推開這門 才明瞭昨日

放逐他鄉

從前天生天養

遇著你 先知我的理想

一個人 一生 一對象

一刻戀上

尋回家的方向

旁人盡顯得過場

推開這門 才明瞭昨日

放逐他鄉

從前天生天養

遇著你 先知我的理想

一個人 一生 一對象

一刻戀上

抬頭掀開紗帳

原來是海風正涼

清新有如 人來臨世上

那第一章

從前天空小説

代入你 方知決非妄想

一個人 一生 一對象

一刻戀上
