[English]

Remind me to be careful, countless words of advice

Watch over what's beside me, year after year

Growing up in a small fortress, I still feel enchanted

Joy is in the simple pleasure of drinking soda

Step out of this greenhouse, chase after your dreams

Through rain and wind, soaking wet, my body could break apart

Why do I look tired after growing up? Why does happiness fade?

So tired, yet I still receive a soda from your palm

I’ll never fall behind in life, all because of you—through thorns and hardships, we endure

When the universe turns upside down, our home still feels just like back then

We've been through hardships and fatigue, but coming home is the best

...

Whenever I go away again, I never blame anyone

When I feel weak or discouraged, who else but my good friend

Even if I make mistakes, you understand and believe in me

Comfort me, keep things simple, just be myself, no need to overthink

I’ll never fall behind in life, all because of you—through thorns and hardships, we endure

When the universe turns upside down, our home still feels just like back then

We've been through hardships and fatigue, but coming home is the best

...

I’ll never fall behind in life, all because of you—through thorns and hardships, we endure

When the universe turns upside down, our home still feels just like back then

Cried and settled down, coming home is the best

...

[Chinese]

叮囑我小心 千句萬句

看顧在身邊 一歲又一歲

生長於小堡壘 是我仍陶醉

愉快在於 簡單喝汽水

走出這溫室 奔向夢想追

風雨下濕身 走到肉身都破碎

人大了為何憔悴 愉快為何減退

太過累 偏偏收到來自你掌心的汽水

餘生都不會掉低我 全因有你 荊棘困難撐得過

當宇宙逆轉過 家裡仍像當初

磨練過 勞累過 回家最好不過

當我又出走 從來沒追究

當軟弱灰心 誰人像好友

即使我事事犯錯 體恤我亦肯定我

安撫我 開心簡單來做我 不必想太多

餘生都不會掉低我 全因有你 荊棘困難撐得過

當宇宙逆轉過 家裡仍像當初

磨練過 勞累過 回家最好不過

餘生都不會掉低我 全因有你 荊棘困難撐得過

當宇宙逆轉過 家裡仍像當初

流淚過 沉澱過 回家最好不過
