[English]

It's been a long time since I walked to school

Recently, I've also changed to a new job

In all my pursuits, am I missing something?

...

Imagining life, calm and peaceful

I opened the window and suddenly remembered

Is the world you're in close to Mercury?

Watching the little fish swim back and forth

I think about you, over and over

These past few years of hard work and dedication are all because of you

Flowers in the wind sway back and forth

I think about you, over and over, until midnight

I hope the moonlight brings you back to my side

...

If I also became a fish

If you also became oxygen

How beautiful the future could be, I don't want to bear it alone

...

I need you, need you, need you to be with me

I really want you, want you, want you to stay with me

But I can only wait

Watching the little fish swim back and forth

I think about you, over and over

These past few years of hard work and dedication are all because of you

Flowers in the wind sway back and forth

I think about you, over and over, until midnight

I hope the moonlight brings you back to my side

...

I need you, need you, need you to be with me

I really want you, want you, want you to stay with me

...

I don't know where you are

Flowers in the wind sway back and forth

I think about you, over and over, until midnight

I hope the moonlight brings you back to my side

...

I believe that my love for you will help me find you

...

[Chinese]

去學校的路很久沒走

最近也換了新的工作

所有的追求 是不是缺少了什麼

想像著生活 風平浪靜

打開了窗戶 突然想起

你在的世界 會不會很靠近水星

看魚仔 在那 游來游去 游來游去

我對你 想來想去 想來想去

這幾年我的打拼跟認真 都是因為你

花在風中 搖來搖去 搖來搖去

我對你 想來想去 想到半暝

希望月光帶你回到我身邊

如果我也變成一條魚

如果你也變成了氧氣

未來多美好 不想要一個人承受

我需要你 需要你 需要你陪伴我

好想要你 想要你 想要你陪著我

卻只能等候

看魚仔 在那 游來游去 游來游去

我對你 想來想去 想來想去

這幾年我的打拼跟認真 都是因為你

花在風中 搖來搖去 搖來搖去

我對你 想來想去 想到半暝

希望月光帶你回到我身邊

我需要你 需要你 需要你陪伴我

好想要你 想要你 想要你陪著我

不知道你在哪裡

花在風中 搖來搖去 搖來搖去

我對你 想來想去 想到半暝

希望月光帶你回到我身邊

我相信愛你的心會讓我找到你
