  1. Hey 我们好久没有摩擦

    Hey, it's been a while since we've had some friction

  2. 因为好久没有说话

    Because it's been so long since we talked

  3. 人家说那 爱的火花

    They say that the spark of love

  4. 有过吗 我晓得

    Has it ever been there? I know

  5. 从前要聊的都聊了

    We've talked about everything that needed to be said back then

  6. 现在没那种心跳了

    Now that kind of heartbeat is gone

  7. 最好彼此 不打扰的

    It's best if we don't disturb each other

  8. 睡觉了

    Going to sleep now

  1. 在我心里的声音

    The voice within my heart

  2. 是不是无病呻吟

    Is it just a pointless lament?

  3. 想到热情曾经不冷静也不生硬

    Thinking of the passion, once so unsteady yet alive,

  4. 有些感觉没来对

    Some feelings just didn’t come at the right time.

  5. 就像杯白开水

    It's like a cup of plain water,

  6. 是少了虚伪可是也少了点趣味

    Lacking pretense, but missing a bit of fun.

  7. 不断变化 要向前吗

    Ever-changing, should we move ahead?

  8. 可不可停下 或许 回到过去

    Can we pause? Maybe go back to the past.

  9. 不要沉默 做些什么

    Don’t stay silent, let’s do something.

  10. 别让 当初 喜欢 变成 习惯

    Don’t let that initial love turn into a habit.

  11. I want you back girl

  12. Oh, I want you back girl

  13. 享受我们双手每天紧扣

    Let’s enjoy our hands tightly intertwined every day

  14. I want you back girl

  15. Oh, I want you back girl

  16. 就让这爱今后没有尽头

    So let this love have no end from now on

  17. Girl, you know what you mean to me

  18. Do you recall how it used to be?

  19. When we first started it was like if we ever ever parted

  20. We would be broken-hearted

  21. And look at where we've come to lately

  22. If this is a dream please wake me

  23. Sometimes I even think that you hate me

    有时候我甚至觉得你恨我

  24. I look up at the sky and cry heaven please take me

    我仰望天空,哭着说,天啊,请带我走

  25. I guess if god brought us together girl

    我想如果上天让我们相遇,女孩

  26. He thought we'd have a chance at forever girl

    他觉得我们有机会走向永远,女孩

  27. If that's the case maybe I should try harder

    如果是这样,也许我应该更努力

  28. They say love is blind maybe true love is smarter

    人们说爱是盲目的,也许真爱更加聪明

  29. Baby girl, I don't wanna be apart

    宝贝,我不想和你分开

  30. Speak your mind and your thoughts and reveal your heart

    说出你的想法,展现你的心声

  31. I wanna know what you think what you want

    我想知道你怎么想,想要什么

  32. If you want what I want

    如果你想要的和我想的一样

  33. 'Cause think I want you back girl

  34. 在我心里的声音

    A voice within my heart

  35. 是不是无病呻吟

    Is it just a futile sigh?

  36. 想到热情曾经不冷静也不生硬

    Thinking of passion, once so warm, now not so stern

  37. 有些感觉没来对

    Some feelings never quite arrived

  38. 就像杯白开水

    Just like a cup of plain water

  39. 是少了虚伪可是也少了点趣味

    Lacking pretense, yet missing a bit of flavor

  40. 不断变化 走向前吗

    Constantly changing, shall we move on?

  41. 可不可停下 或许 回到过去

    Can we pause, perhaps return to the past?

  42. 不要沉默 做些什么

    Don't be silent, do something

  43. 别让 当初 喜欢 变成 习惯

    Don't let the love we once had become a habit

  44. I want you back girl

  45. Oh, I want you back girl

  46. 享受我们双手每天紧扣

    Enjoying our hands intertwined every day

  47. I want you back girl

  48. Oh, I want you back girl

  49. 就让这爱今后没有尽头

    Let's make this love have no end from now on

  50. 不断变化 走向前吗

    Continuously changing, should we move forward?

  51. 可不可停下 或许 回到过去

    Can we pause, perhaps return to the past?

  52. 不要沉默 做些什么

    Don't be silent, let's do something

  53. 别让 当初 喜欢 变成 习惯

    Don't let that initial liking turn into a habit

  54. I want you back girl

  55. Oh, I want you back girl

  56. 享受我们双手每天紧扣

    Enjoying our hands intertwined every day

  57. I want you back girl

  58. Oh, I want you back girl

  59. 就让这爱今后没有尽头

    Let this love have no end from now on
