一半灰暗一半蔚蓝 云飞得好快
Half in gray, half in blue, the clouds rush by so fast
一个人瞧著窗外
One person gazes out the window
移动在这漂浮城市 车往风里开
Moving through this floating city, the car drives into the wind
吞下寂寞 我猜也无害
Swallowing loneliness, I guess it's harmless
一边登机一边听著 隔壁的女孩
As I board the plane, I listen to the girl next door
说她似曾相似的未来
Saying her future feels so familiar
原来呀人都一样 得谈几次爱
It turns out, everyone is the same, we must love a few times
才会甘心把从前移开
Before we can willingly push the past aside
想离开 就离开
Wanting to leave, just leave
走到记忆之外
Stepping beyond the memories
没有什么需要膜拜
There's nothing that needs worshipping.
想回来 就回来
If you want to come back, then come back.
旅行后才明白
Only after traveling do I understand.
我把从前留在境外
I've left the past behind in foreign lands.
不应该一路失望 又一路等待
One shouldn't be disappointed all the way, waiting endlessly.
时间它说 世界还有不同的海
Time says the world has different seas to explore.
但不要告诉我 现实它很坏
But don't tell me the reality is so harsh.
我想看看自己的能耐
I want to see what I'm truly capable of.
想离开 就离开
If you want to leave, then leave.
走到记忆之外
Step beyond the boundaries of memory.
没有什么需要膜拜
There's nothing here worth worshipping,
想回来 就回来
If you want to come back, then come back.
旅行后才明白
Only after traveling do I understand,
我把从前留在境外
I've left the past behind, far away.
我不看将来 也不问现在
I don't look to the future, nor question the present,
我只要孤单滚开
I just want loneliness to roll away.
在赤道山脉 在北极冰海
In the equatorial mountain ranges, in the Arctic icy seas,
我玩累之后回来
I'll return after I'm tired of playing,
想离开 就离开
If you want to leave, then leave.
走到记忆之外
Beyond the reach of memory.
没有什么需要膜拜
There's nothing to revere,
想回来 就回来
If you want to come back, just come back.
旅行后才明白
Only after traveling do I understand,
我把从前留在境外
I left the past abroad.
想离开 就离开
If you want to leave, just leave.
跑到地图之外
Run beyond the map,
降落之后一切空白
After the landing, everything is blank.
想回来 就回来
If you want to come back, just come back.
人生不是竞赛
Life is not a race,
我把明天留在境外
I left tomorrow abroad.
我不看将来 也不问现在
I don't look to the future, nor question the now
我只要孤单滚开
I just want loneliness to roll away
在赤道山脉 在北极冰海
In the equatorial mountains, in the Arctic's icy seas
我玩累之后回来
When I've played enough, I'll come back
然后我自由自在
Then I will be free and at ease
