[English]

Meeting you for the first time after we parted

Reaching out again to hear your voice

So used to seeing your smiling face on the left

Almost wanted to touch your shoulder, gently brushing away lingering worries

We’re apart, but I just can't seem to let go

Wanting to hold onto the wonderful moments from that day

Or maybe afraid that your love will completely fade away

Running back after leaving, not sure if it’s right

No longer close, but still carrying your warmth in my heart

Crying over you anytime, wiping away tears

Are my two hands enough in case I need to hold on?

Even when I let go that day, my feet still feel like they haven't learned to walk

Staying in this love, not knowing how to step back

All these old memories, now re-lived again

Thinking about rekindling old love seems too ridiculous

Not enough luck to hold your hand anymore

But perhaps this moment is uniquely ours

Being too good to you, how could I be so exhausted

...

If only my heartbeat could be avoided

Yet, your voice keeps echoing in my mind

Accustomed to caring for you, it won’t change

Without saying goodbye or realizing – my love for you has long spread

We’re apart, but I just can't seem to let go

Wanting to hold onto the wonderful moments from that day

Or maybe afraid that your love will completely fade away

Running back after leaving, not sure if it’s right

No longer close, but still carrying your warmth in my heart

Crying over you anytime, wiping away tears

Are my two hands enough in case I need to hold on?

Even when I let go that day, my feet still feel like they haven't learned to walk

Staying in this love, not knowing how to step back

All these old memories, now re-lived again

Thinking about rekindling old love seems too ridiculous

Not enough luck to hold your hand anymore

But perhaps this moment is uniquely ours

Being too good to you, how could I be so exhausted

Being even better to you, but I can't stay forever

...

[Chinese]

離開以後首次遇見

重新對望聽你聲線

太慣看你左邊笑臉

差點想碰你的肩 輕觸那殘餘心事

我們分開 怎麼始終行不開

想捉緊當日精彩

或是害怕完全淡出你那份愛

離場後跑回來 不知可算應該

貼身不再但卻貼心裝載

隨時代你哭 處理淚流

而後備兩手是否足夠

即使那日放了手 雙腳似未學會走

停留在這段情 不懂去 退守

全部舊記憶 這刻重遊

重拾舊愛都或太荒謬

運氣不夠 牽不了手

也算得今世獨有

對你太好怎會累透

如心跳是可以避免

縈繞卻是你的聲線

慣了照顧的不會變

不告別也不發現 對你愛顧早蔓延

我們分開 怎麼始終行不開

想捉緊當日精彩

或是害怕完全淡出你那份愛

離場後跑回來 不知可算應該

貼身不再但卻貼心裝載

隨時代你哭 處理淚流

而後備兩手是否足夠

即使那日放了手 雙腳似未學會走

停留在這段情 不懂去 退守

全部舊記憶 這刻重遊

重拾舊愛都或太荒謬

運氣不夠 牽不了手

也算得今世獨有

對你太好怎會累透

對你再好不會廝守
