Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

震撼對吧 這麼一個你

Feel the shock, just because of you

這樣透視我心扉

Like a透 view into my heart

是有相通靈魂 但卻不可對抗物理

It's a shared soul, but can't defy physics

將錯就錯 埋於心儲起

After messing up, bury it deep inside

背著你視角 點起空虛

From your perspective, igniting emptiness

我願惡夢隨風去

I wish nightmares could just blow away

學會點火抽乾眼淚

Learn to light up and dry my tears

求可不再有亂緒

Hoping chaos won't come again

甜夢未壓碎 才一再問句

Sweet dreams remain unbroken, so I ask again

為何愛你不到 無從伸手就抱

Why can't I love you fully, no way to reach out and hold

莽撞情話 不可傾吐

Clumsy words of love, can't be spoken

遺憾我為你收好

Regretfully, I keep it safe for you

為何愛你不到 為何愛那麼深奧

Why can't I love you enough, why is love so profound

對象場地 都講參數

The target, the place all talk parameters

我共你之間 隔著了一堆變數

Between us, a bunch of variables in the way

...

...

灌掉快就滿瀉那苦水

Pour out the bitterness before it overflows

我願眼淚隨風去

I wish tears could drift away with the wind

避免再見不安作祟

Avoid the anxiety of saying goodbye

從此不再有亂緒

No more chaos from now on

無奈又喝醉 才問天一句

Helpless and drunk, I ask the sky

為何愛你不到 無從伸手就抱

Why can't I love you enough, no way to reach out and hold

莽撞情話 不可傾吐

Clumsy words of love, can't be spoken

遺憾我為你收好

Regretfully, I keep it safe for you

為何愛你不到 為何愛那麼深奧

Why can't I love you enough, why is love so profound

對象場地 都講參數

The target, the place all talk parameters

我共你之間 隔著了一堆變數

Between us, a bunch of variables in the way

抽根煙可否有幫助

Can smoking help at all?

抽出彼此的錯過

Smoking away our missed moments

抽到卻是人生 狠狠的一課

Puffing turns out to be life's hardest lesson

離場容易過借火

Walking away is easier than borrowing fire

瑟縮一角 跟感覺拔河

Huddled in the corner, tug-of-war with feelings

為何愛你不到 明明一伸手可抱

Why can't I love you enough, clearly reachable yet lost

不追究 不知道

Not pursuing, just not knowing

成熟到願你安好

Mature enough to wish you well and safe

為何愛你不到 不想再為遺憾苦惱

Why can't I love you enough, don't want regrets anymore

換了身份才能擁抱

Only changing identities can I finally embrace

這晚夜只和你 維持謙虛客套

Tonight, just you and me, maintaining humble politeness

...

...
