想起我不完美
Thinking of my imperfections
你会不会逃离我生命的范围?
Will you escape from the bounds of my life?
想著你的滋味
Thinking of your taste
我会不会把这个枕头变得甜美?
Will I turn this pillow into something sweet?
想起白天的约会 忘了晚上的咖啡
Remembering the day’s date, forgetting the night’s coffee
只怕感情如潮水 远离我梦中的堡垒
Fearing that love, like the tide, will drift away from my dream fortress
一个人失眠 全世界失眠
One person can't sleep, the whole world can't sleep
无辜的街灯守候明天
Innocent streetlights wait for tomorrow
幸福的失眠 只是因为害怕闭上眼
Happy insomnia, just because I'm afraid to close my eyes
如何想你想到六点? 如何爱你爱到终点?
How can I think of you until six? How can I love you until the end?
想起我的时候
Thinking of you again,
你会不会好像我一样不能睡?
Do you lie awake like I do, unable to sleep?
想像你的暧昧
Imagining your ambiguity,
我会不会数不到绵羊一双一对?
Will I fail to count the sheep, one by one?
想起白天的约会 忘了晚上的咖啡
Remembering our daytime date, forgetting the coffee at night.
只怕感情如潮水 远离我梦中的堡垒
Just afraid love will ebb away, drifting from my dream fortress.
一个人失眠 全世界失眠
One person can't sleep, and the entire world can't sleep.
无辜的街灯守候明天
Innocent streetlights await tomorrow,
幸福的失眠 只是因为害怕闭上眼
Blissful insomnia, just because I'm scared to close my eyes.
如何想你想到六点?
How can I think of you until six o'clock?
一个人失眠 全世界失眠
When one suffers insomnia, the whole world does too.
幸福的失眠 只是因为害怕闭上眼
Happy sleeplessness, simply from the fear of closing my eyes.
如何想你想到六点?
How can I think of you until six o'clock?
如何爱你爱到终点? 如何爱你爱到终点?
How can I love you all the way to the end? How can I love you all the way to the end?
