仿佛玻璃看不到 裂了才知道
It's like glass, invisible until it shatters.
未信过英雄 却碰过病毒 谁人拿手套
Never believed in heroes, yet I've faced the virus, who wears the gloves?
仿佛飞机要飞到 裂了才知道
It's like a plane aiming to fly, only to discover when it breaks.
闹市会荒芜 起身想洗澡 然而能心痛
The bustling market turns desolate; I rise to take a bath, yet can only feel heartache.
尽力吸吸收新鲜空气 即使捉不到
Striving to breathe in fresh air, even if I cannot grasp it.
尽力追追心中的你 即使找不到
Trying to chase the you in my heart, even if I can't find you.
很多天机算不到 末了才知道
Many secrets can't be predicted, we only know in the end.
闹市有彩虹 起身再上路 原来不能老
In the bustling market, there’s a rainbow; I rise to hit the road again, realizing I can't always be young.
尽力吸吸收新鲜空气 即使捉不到
Striving to breathe in fresh air, even if I cannot grasp it.
尽力追追心中的你 一起可祷告
Trying to chase the you in my heart, we can pray together.
深呼吸新鲜空气 一呼气想的都得到
Take a deep breath of fresh air, and with a exhale, I can have it all.
尽力追追心中的你 即使找不到
I strive to chase the you in my heart, even if I can't find you.
