[English]

People who are serious about what they do in this world

Still really need, really need certain meanings

With life, recognizing what life could be

Sometimes trivial, finding words to form a story

Eagerly waiting every time to talk, to listen, to speak again (tell me, tell me)

And then I know it's right, it's love, it's you

Looking up at my face

Eagerly waiting every time to listen, to speak, to listen again, together once more (tell me, tell me)

Tomorrow I will be smiling, shouting, being me

Waiting for you to understand with your heart

Despite the chaos outside, inside I find peace

All the struggles, we've endured so many changes

If you value it, please hold onto this belief

Hoping to cherish you, cherish me, then everything can be okay

Eagerly waiting every time to talk, to listen, to speak again (tell me, tell me)

And then I know it's right, it's love, it's you

Looking up at my face

Eagerly waiting every time to listen, to speak, to listen again, together once more (tell me, tell me)

Tomorrow I will be smiling, shouting, being me

Waiting for you to come and reconnect through our gaze

Eagerly waiting every time to talk, to listen, to speak again

And then I live for you, I live for us

Lowering my head to kiss your face

Eagerly waiting every time to listen, to speak, to listen again, together once more (tell me, tell me)

Inside this floating city, feeling you whisper to me

Years pass by, yet your voice remains

Quietly telling this story

[Chinese]

在天地認真的做什麼的人

還是很需要很需要某些意思

用生命認出生命什麼可能

容或很瑣碎 找些句子成故事

期待每一次在說 在聽 在說 存在一次 (tell me, tell me)

然後我知道是對 是愛 是你

抬頭看著我的臉

期待每一次在聽 在說 在聽 同在一次 (tell me, tell me)

明日我將會是笑 是喊 是我

在等待你能明白的耳

就這樣外邊紛亂內心安寧

全部撐不過都撐過太多變遷

若珍重就請珍重一個信念

希望珍惜你珍惜我也就可以

期待每一次在說 在聽 在說 存在一次 (tell me, tell me)

然後我知道是對 是愛 是你

抬頭看著我的臉

期待每一次在聽 在說 在聽 同在一次 (tell me, tell me)

明日我將會是笑 是喊 是我

在等待你來重遇的視線

期待每一次在說 在聽 在說 存在一次

然後我知道活過 為你 活過

垂頭吻著你的臉

期待每一次在聽 在說 在聽 同在一次 (tell me, tell me)

浮城內感覺著你 在叮囑我

年月在過 而尚有聲線

寧靜地講一切故事
