[English]

Just a year's plot, like the heavy rain hastily striking the eaves

The messy room, like a guitar strumming a few wrong chords

Years have passed, I think we've both forgotten each other's faces

Is this called fate? I never thought we would meet again

The story has already turned a few pages

Suddenly, all the details you overlooked, all the details I overlooked

The initial doubts and curiosities, the love and hate have long gone

Suddenly, all the changes you discovered, all the changes I discovered

The initial smiles and tears, all the joys and sorrows have been left in yesterday

That year's transformation, like a surgery removing the cocoon that blocked my heart

The lingering pain feels like a wound that needs time to heal

The god who governs fate, I want to ask if you’ve been dozing off

Is this called destiny? I never thought about the moment of meeting again

All the memories, black hair turning to snow

Suddenly, all the details you overlooked, all the details I overlooked

The initial doubts and curiosities, the love and hate have become faint

Suddenly, all the changes you discovered, all the changes I discovered

The initial smiles and tears, all the joys and sorrows have turned to smoke

And you, after leaving me, have not changed at all

And I, after leaving you, have kept moving forward

In the blink of an eye, your world is drifting further away step by step

Before turning around, I see you, yet I still feel a bit of pity

Suddenly, all that you scattered, all that I scattered has vanished

My madness back then, your betrayal was like a punchline

Suddenly, all the lies you experienced, all the lies I experienced

My retreat back then, your debts seem insignificant

And you, after leaving me, are still at the starting point

And I, after leaving you, keep flying forward

In the blink of an eye, my world is drifting further away step by step

In a moment, I want to thank you for everything that hurt me

Thank you for meeting again

...

[Chinese]

只一年的情節 像大雨匆匆打擊過的屋檐

還凌亂的房間 像吉他用力刷錯幾個和弦

時間過了幾年 我想，我們都忘了彼此的臉

難道這叫有緣 我沒想過 我們會再遇見

故事已經 翻了幾頁

忽然之間 你忽略的 我忽略的所有細節

當初的猜疑好奇 愛恨痴嗔卻已走遠

忽然之間 你發現的 我發現的所有改變

當初的微笑眼淚 喜怒哀樂都已拋在昨天

那一年的蛻變 像手術拿掉塞住心上的繭

還疼痛的感覺 像傷口總得需要時間復原

掌管命運的神 多想問祢是不是打了個盹

難道這叫緣份 我沒想過 再遇見的時刻

所有回憶 青絲成雪

忽然之間 你忽略的 我忽略的所有細節

當初的猜疑好奇 愛恨痴嗔卻已希微

忽然之間 你發現的 我發現的所有改變

當初的微笑眼淚 喜怒哀樂都已雲煙

而你 在離開我之後 全沒有改變

而我 在離開你之後 就一直往前

轉眼之間 你的世界 一步一步越離越遠

轉身之前 看到你 卻還依稀覺得有點可憐

忽然之間 你散盡的 我散盡的全都不見

當初的我的瘋狂 你的背叛像個笑點

忽然之間 你經歷的 我經歷的所有謊言

當初的我的退讓 你的虧欠都不起眼

而你 在離開我之後 還停在原點

而我 在離開你之後 不斷往前飛

轉眼之間 我的世界 一步一步越走越遠

一念之間 想對你傷害我的一切 說聲謝謝

謝謝再遇見
