寂寞仿佛夜车偷偷出发
Loneliness feels like a midnight train quietly departing,
寻找你的温柔我的依靠
Searching for your tenderness, my anchor strong.
眉头心头 世界尽头
Between my brows and in my heart, the world's end,
想你的旅程反复不休
The journey of missing you goes on and on.
不到终点 不能回头
Until I reach the finish line, I cannot turn back.
午夜前的十分钟 天显得十分空
Ten minutes before midnight, the night feels so empty.
一个人的房屋 算不算很孤独
A room for one, does it count as lonely?
思念原来象天空 覆盖我的举动
Missing you feels like the sky, covering my every move.
记住你的行踪 忘记我的初衷
Remembering your whereabouts, forgetting my original intent.
放纵记忆像铁路越拉越长
Letting memories stretch like a railway, growing ever long.
沿着你的气味 虚构我的方向
Following your scent, I weave my way
不能自己 不停止
I can't be alone, I can't stop
你的温柔敲碎我的坚强伪装
Your tenderness shatters my strong disguise
寂寞仿佛夜车就要出发
Loneliness feels like the night train's about to leave
爱是孤单车厢唯一乘客
Love is the only passenger in this solitary car
不要言语 不要形容
No words, no descriptions needed
只要我的终站你的臂弯
As long as my final stop is in your embrace
寂寞仿佛夜车偷偷出发
Loneliness feels like the night train is sneaking away
寻找你的温柔我的依靠
Searching for your warmth, my support
想你的旅程反复不休
The journey of missing you goes on without end
不到终点 不能回头
Until the end, I cannot turn back.
放纵记忆像铁路越拉越长
Indulging memories, like a railway stretching longer.
沿着你的气味 虚构我的方向
Following your scent, I create my own direction.
不能自己 不停止
Not by myself, I cannot stop.
你的温柔敲碎我的坚强伪装
Your gentleness shatters my strong disguise.
寂寞仿佛夜车就要出发
Loneliness feels like the night train is about to depart.
爱是孤单车厢唯一乘客
Love is the only passenger in a lonely carriage.
越过风雨 越过霓虹
Beyond the storms, beyond the neon lights.
不要言语 不要形容
No words, no descriptions.
寂寞仿佛夜车偷偷出发
Loneliness feels like the night train quietly departs.
寻找你的温柔我的依靠
Searching for your tenderness, my refuge
眉头心头 世界尽头
Furrowed brow, heavy heart, the end of the world
想你的旅程反复不休
The journey of longing for you goes on and on
不到终点 不能回头
Until the end, there's no turning back
一个人的房屋 算不算很孤独
A solitary home, does it count as loneliness?
