Wow
太热吧 太热吧 需回家
It's too hot, too hot, time to go home
我们抱著对方 让空调替浮躁解放
We hold each other tight, let the AC ease our restlessness
再难理会玻璃窗渗汗
Even the glass panes drip with sweat
我们悸动不安
We're buzzing with unease
怀疑到应否再交往 谁肯讲
Doubting if we should keep this going, who will speak up?
纵抱著 抱出冷汗 出冷汗
Holding tight, breaking into cold sweat, cold sweat
明明该冷却 却只知
Clearly we should cool down, yet we only know
能亲热便无大件事
As long as we can be close, it's not a big deal
明知彼此 各有所思 其实在对峙
Knowing we both have our thoughts, yet we're actually at odds
明知疮疤 贴满胶纸
Knowing the scars are covered in tape,
弥补现状留待下次
Fixing the present, saving it for next time.
明知心亏 也要相依 太可耻
Aware of my heart's shortcomings, yet we cling together, how shameful.
Wow
太热吧 太热吧 太热吧
So hot, right? So hot, right? So hot, right?
我们制造体温
We generate our own body heat.
没理会过地暗天昏
Ignoring the darkness of the earth and the gloom of the sky,
感情有事偏不敢去问
Though emotions are troubled, I dare not inquire.
三十四度高温 长留禁室内寻蜜运
In thirty-four degrees of heat, trapped indoors seeking sweetness,
没冷气 怎接近
Without air conditioning, how can we get close?
缠绵时不会问 谁人的责任
In tender moments, we never ask whose fault it is,
人明知冷却 也都贪痴
People know it’s cold, yet still crave the warmth,
能亲热便无大件事
As long as we can be close, nothing else matters,
明知彼此 各取所需 其实在试
Knowing we need each other, yet we’re still testing,
明知疮疤 贴满胶纸
Aware of the scars, we keep them covered with tape,
留恋现状 逼不得已
Clinging to the present, without choice we remain,
明明可摊开做出协议 怕失去所依
Clearly we could lay it all out and make an agreement, yet afraid to lose what we depend on,
明明知终需出事
Well aware that in the end something will go wrong,
并未降温出于自私
The unwillingness to cool down stems from selfishness,
如重新开始太辛苦 没意思
If starting over is too painful, then what’s the point?
(太习惯旧衬衣 就像有病懒医)
Too accustomed to the old shirt, like an illness with no cure.
贪恋体温虽幼稚
Clinging to warmth, though it feels childish.
并未制止欲望未可以
Desire hasn't been halted, how can it be?
弄开疮疤 揭开胶纸 哪可以
Opening old wounds, peeling off the tape, how can it be?
Wow (yeah)
太热吧 太热吧 太热吧
Too hot, right? Too hot, right? Too hot, right?
Wow
太热吧 太热吧 太热吧
Too hot, right? Too hot, right? Too hot, right?
Wow
太热吧 太热吧 太热吧
Too hot, right? Too hot, right? Too hot, right?
