  1. 似乎恋爱 似乎等待

    It seems I've fallen in love, still waiting in the haze.

  2. 一个男生总是睡不著

    There's a boy who always says he just can't sleep.

  3. 医生安眠

    I advise him to see a doctor, get some sleeping pills to keep.

  4. 还有一个寂寞希望生活热闹

    Another one says he's lonely, craving a lively space.

  5. 应该一支小花拥抱

    He should find a little cat to embrace.

  6. OH... 约会三次 觉得 糟糕

    OH... After three dates, it's already feeling so wrong.

  7. 开水面包

    Staring at water and plain white bread all along.

  8. 一个男生欣赏我的活泼

    There's a boy who claims to love my vibrant cheer.

  9. 可是流泪手足无措

    But when I cry, he just crumbles, freezing with fear.

  10. 还有一个他想一生一世照顾

    Another one says he wants to care for me all his years long.

  11. 怀疑不知道自己什么

    I wonder if he knows what he's saying.

  12. OH... 约会三次 觉得 糟糕

    OH... After three dates, it feels just too terrible.

  13. 开水面包

    Staring at the plain water and white bread.

  14. 胃口不好还是他们没有味道

    Either my appetite's bad or they lack flavor.

  15. OH... 约会三次 觉得 糟糕

    OH... After three dates, it feels just too terrible.

  16. 胃口不好还是他们没有味道

    Either my appetite's bad or they lack flavor.

  17. 讨厌开水忍受不了面包

    I hate plain water and can't stand white bread.

  18. 似乎恋爱 似乎等待

    It seems I've been in love, yet I'm still waiting.

  19. 一个男生一起不错

    There's a guy who says being with me is nice.

  20. 不断以前女朋友

    But he keeps criticizing his ex-girlfriends' faults.

  21. 还有一些模模糊糊爱上

    There's still some blurry feelings, they say they've fallen for me

  22. 他们说的太多 却没有什么

    They talk too much, yet say nothing at all

  23. OH... 约会三次 觉得 糟糕

    OH... After three dates, I've already found it too awful

  24. 开水面包

    Facing boiling water and white bread
