Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
思念明明在发烫
Longing is clearly burning bright
Oh 谁叫我太懂事又不爱逞强
Oh, who told me to be so understanding yet not show off?
只好听你说些大方向
I can only listen to your vague directions
时光
Time
我也没想到会这样
I never expected it to be like this
我有空了你正忙
I have free time while you're busy
回到公寓只有我自己浇花晒太阳
Back at the apartment, it's just me watering plants and basking in the sun
留话还贴在冰箱上
A message still stuck on the fridge
你的字像跳舞一样
Your words dance like a lively performance
每次都说这是欠我的时光
Each time you say this is the time I owe you
Oh oh oh oh
我是否有点太大方
Am I being a bit too generous?
Yeah
Oh oh oh oh
思念明明在发烫
Longing is clearly heating up
Oh 谁叫我太懂事又不爱逞强
Oh, who told me to be so considerate yet not show off?
只好听你说些大方向
I can only listen to your grand plans
时光
Time
别再走别再走（时光）
Don't go again, don't go again (time)
我也没想到会这样
I never expected it to be like this
我有空了你正忙
I'm free now, but you're busy
回到公寓只有我自己浇花晒太阳
Back at the apartment, it's just me watering plants and soaking up the sun
留话还贴在冰箱上
Your messages still stuck on the fridge
你的字像跳舞一样
Your writing dances like a melody
每次都说这是欠我的时光
Every time you say this is the time I owe you
一间间房子慢慢点亮
Room by room, the lights slowly glow
也许你正在某个地方
Maybe you're somewhere out there
祈祷你不要慌张
Praying that you won't feel anxious
慢慢开慢慢想
Take it slow, think it through
Oh oh oh oh
我是否有点太大方
Am I being a bit too generous?
Yeah
一个人看月亮
Alone, looking at the moon
Oh oh oh oh
思念明明在发烫
Longing is clearly burning within me
Oh 谁叫我太懂事又不爱逞强
Oh, why do I understand too well yet refuse to show off?
只好听你说些大方向
I can only listen to your grand ideas
