其实我还不想睡 也想有人陪
Actually, I don't want to sleep yet, I just want someone to stay.
我脱了鞋 倒带今天约会
I take off my shoes, rewinding today's date.
你想留下来但我说有点累
You want to stay, but I say I'm a bit tired.
进进退退攻防易位 爱 爱的机会
Going back and forth, shifting roles, love, love's chance.
有时却却却无功而回 忽明忽暗的趣味
Sometimes it feels like we're returning empty-handed, the flickering allure.
来来回回怎么定位 爱 爱的范围
How do we navigate this back and forth, love, love's boundaries?
我并不不不不是收回 我不过想再玩味
I’m not, not, not taking it back; I just want to savor it again.
还是朋友的感觉 这暧昧
Still feels like friends, this ambiguity.
这世界 会不会 有人像我们这对
In this world, is there someone like us, a pair?
心的空位 未确定给谁
The empty space in my heart, uncertain of whom to give it to.
可是 又会 从对方的手臂 寻找一点的安慰
But then, I seek a bit of comfort in each other's embrace.
进进退退攻防易位 爱 爱的机会
Back and forth, we shift positions, love, love's opportunity.
有时却却却举手无回 那是暧昧的滋味
Yet sometimes, I raise my hand with no reply, that's the taste of ambiguity.
来来回回怎么定位 爱 爱的范围
How do we define our back-and-forth, love, love's domain?
我并不不不不是收回 我不过想再玩味
I'm not not not taking it back, I just want to savor a bit more.
这是朋友的感觉 还是爱人空缺
Is this the feeling of friendship, or just the void of love?
表面还是无所谓 还是无所谓 还是无所谓
On the surface, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.
其实怎会无所谓 怎会无所谓 怎会无所谓
But really, how could it not matter, how could it not matter, how could it not matter?
进进退退攻防易位 爱 爱的机会
Back and forth, we shift positions, love, love's opportunity.
有时却却却无功而回 忽明忽暗的趣味
Yet sometimes, I return empty-handed, the play of light and darkness.
来来回回怎么定位 爱 爱的范围
Back and forth, how to define love, the realm of affection
我并不不不不是收回 我不过想再玩味
I’m not, not, not taking it back, I just want to savor it again
进进退退攻防易位 爱 爱的机会
Advancing and retreating, shifting defenses, love's opportunities
有时却却却举手无回 那是暧昧的滋味
Sometimes, raising my hand has no reply, that's the taste of ambiguity
来来回回怎么定位 爱 爱的范围
Back and forth, how to define love, the realm of affection
我并不不不不是收回 我不过想再玩味
I’m not, not, not taking it back, I just want to savor it again
Want to be, be, be your love
Want to be, be, be your love
