爱情微笑著开始是美好
Love starts with a smile, oh so fair
拥抱了之后是依靠
After the embrace, it becomes a care
触摸幸福 坦诚勇敢
Touching happiness, with courage and truth
我们都在无限的符号里飘
We float in endless symbols, like youth
热烈了以后却逃掉 坚持弃权走掉
But after the fervor, we slip away, abandoning hold,
留下绷紧的笑 短暂而跳跃
Leaving behind a tense smile, fleeting and bold
我们习惯安静地放掉
We’ve grown accustomed to quietly let go,
也许我们都在寻找 属于爱情透明的句号
Maybe we're searching for love's clear echo,
以为找到 我们之间 却不是等号
Thinking we’ve found what lies in between, yet it’s not an equal sign,
也许我们都在寻找 属于眼泪的休止符号
Perhaps we’re all seeking the pause of tears, divine.
我们却像 平行的双向道 只剩下各自单向的轨道
Yet we are like parallel two-way roads, left with our own one-way tracks.
我们都在无限的符号里飘
We are all floating within infinite symbols.
热烈了以后却逃掉 坚持弃权走掉
After the heat, we just escape, insisting on giving up and walking away.
留下绷紧的笑 短暂而跳跃
Leaving a tense smile, brief yet lively.
我们习惯安静地放掉
We are accustomed to quietly letting go.
也许我们都在寻找 属于爱情透明的句号
Maybe we are all searching for the transparent period that belongs to love.
以为找到 我们之间 却不是等号
Thinking we found it, between us, yet it's not an equation.
也许我们都在寻找 属于眼泪的休止符号
Maybe we are all searching for the rest symbol that belongs to tears.
我们却像 平行的双向道 只剩下各自单向的轨道
Yet we are like parallel two-way roads, left with our own one-way tracks.
这样的反复记号 会在哪一刻放掉
At what moment will this cycle of signs be released?
陷在里面什么也无法抛掉 抛掉
Trapped inside, unable to throw away anything, throw away.
也许我们都在寻找 属于爱情透明的句号
Perhaps we are all searching for a transparent period belonging to love.
以为找到 我们之间 却不是等号
Thought I found it between us, but it’s not an equal sign.
也许我们都在寻找 属于眼泪的休止符号
Maybe we are all looking for a rest symbol for our tears.
我们却像 平行的双向道 只剩下各自单向的轨道
Yet we are like two-way parallel roads, left with our own one-way tracks.
啊 逃离分开的 惊叹号
Ah, escaping the exclamation mark of separation.
