[English]

The rain lingers in the space between the heavens.

Tears whirl in my eyes.

Perhaps this is the last time we meet.

The past we've traveled along the way.

There isn’t time to relive it.

The warmth of our embrace has already cooled.

The sound of the sea swallowed the dusk of our parting.

Only the warmth we’re reluctant to part with remains.

Under the starry sky, I cling to the fading warmth.

Love can only be whole in memories.

I want to hold you close inside me.

I dare not let you see.

The tear that hasn’t fallen from the corner of your mouth.

If this is the last page.

Before you go.

Could I rewrite the story?

...

The rain lingers in the space between the sky.

Tears whirl in my eyes.

Perhaps this is the last time we meet.

The past we've walked through along the way.

There isn’t time to relive it.

Our embrace has already cooled, quietly.

The sound of the sea drowned the dusk of our parting.

Only the warmth we’re reluctant to part with remains.

Under the starry sky, I cling to the fading warmth.

Love can only be whole in memories.

I want to hold you close inside me.

I dare not let you see.

The tear that hasn’t fallen from the corner of your mouth.

If this is the last page.

Before you go.

Could I rewrite the story?

I want to hold you close inside me.

I dare not let you see.

The tear that hasn’t fallen from the corner of your mouth.

If this is the last page.

Before you go.

Could I rewrite the story?

...

Could I rewrite the story?

[Chinese]

雨停滯天空之間

像淚在眼眶盤旋

這也許是最後一次見面

沿途經過的從前

還來不及再重演

擁抱早已悄悄冷卻

海潮聲淹沒了離別時的黃昏

只留下不捨的體溫

星空下擁抱著快雕零的溫存

愛只能在回憶裏完整

想把你抱進身體裏面

不敢讓你看見

嘴角那顆沒落下的淚

如果這是最後的一頁

在你離開之前

能否讓我把故事重寫

雨停滯天空之間

像淚在眼眶盤旋

這也許是最後一次見面

沿途經過的從前

還來不及再重演

擁抱早已悄悄冷卻

海潮聲淹沒了離別時的黃昏

只留下不捨的體溫

星空下擁抱著快雕零的溫存

愛只能在回憶裏完整

想把你抱進身體裏面

不敢讓你看見

嘴角那顆沒落下的淚

如果這是最後的一頁

在你離開之前

能否讓我把故事重寫

想把你抱進身體裏面

不敢讓你看見

嘴角那顆沒落下的淚

如果這是最後的一頁

在你離開之前

能否讓我把故事重寫

能否讓我把故事重寫
