  1. 薛:

    Xue:

  2. 我好像 很擅长 自己去某个地方

    I seem to be quite skilled at going to a certain place alone

  3. 跟着光 路很长 临走时也会回头望

    Following the light, the road is long, but I still look back when I leave

  4. 郭:

    Guo:

  5. 醉一场 天一亮 我们又人模狗样

    Drunk for a night, as dawn breaks, we again put on our mask

  6. 夜一深 哭一场 每次能缓解点疯狂

    When the night is deep, we cry once, each time easing a bit of madness

  7. 薛:

    Xue:

  8. 我们放肆的生长 只为了能回去一趟

    We grow wild and free, just to go back once more

  1. 能回到 惹一位姑娘她最后落泪的地方

    To the place where I stirred a girl’s heart, and she eventually shed tears

  2. 许便宜糕点的愿望 撒闭眼前想好的谎

    Wishing for cheap pastries, while preparing a lie before closing my eyes

  3. 都不甘心的打发着 一层初妆

    Reluctantly, we send off a layer of makeup,

  4. 郭:

    Guo:

  5. 我们要不回理想 还耗尽了归途的光

    We can't reclaim our dreams, while exhausting the light of our way back,

  6. 一直到 寻你的姑娘认不出了你的模样

    Until a girl seeking you can no longer recognize your face,

  7. 借巨塔许愿望 攒违心的鼓掌

    Wishing on a giant tower, accumulating applause born from falsehood,

  8. 请迷恋我 一身假象

    Please be obsessed with me, an entire facade,

  9. 郭:

    Guo:

  10. 都好像 很擅长 让自己困在远方

    It seems like we're very skilled at trapping ourselves in the distance,

  11. 薛:

    Xue:

  12. 纸一张 字一脏 藏着我无畏的模样

    A piece of paper, a dirty word, hiding my fearless side.

  13. 郭:

    Guo:

  14. 我们 放肆的生长 只为了能回去一趟

    We grow wildly, just to return once more.

  15. 能回到 惹一位姑娘她最后落泪的地方

    To the place where a girl once cried to the core.

  16. 许便宜糕点的愿望 撒闭眼前想好的谎

    Wishing for cheap pastries, spinning lies I can’t ignore.

  17. 都不甘心的打发着 一层初妆

    But still we reluctantly put on this first layer of decor.

  18. 薛:

    Xue:

  19. 我们要不回理想 还耗尽了归途的光

    We can't retrieve our dreams, and our journey's light is worn.

  20. 一直到 寻你的姑娘认不出了你的模样

    Until the girl who seeks you can't recognize your form.

  21. 借巨塔许愿望 攒违心的鼓掌

    Borrowing from the giant tower to wish, clapping in a swarm.

  22. 请迷恋我 一身

    Please, become infatuated with me, in every norm.

  23. 合:

    Together:

  24. 我们最后的下场 是对着谁念念不忘

    Our final act is to remember someone forever.

  25. 一直到 耗尽了等你的姑娘也不知去向

    Until the end, the girl waiting for you has vanished without a trace.

  26. 谁完成我愿望 谁模仿你初妆

    Who fulfills my wishes, who mimics your first look?

  27. 谁像我们来时一样

    Who comes back like we did when we arrived?
