我选择在街上直走
I choose to walk straight down the street
和人群擦肩而过
Brushing past the crowd
寂寞可以扣掉几分钟
Loneliness can fade for a few minutes
目标就差三个街口
Just three intersections to my goal
相信他一定等我
I believe he will surely wait for me
加快脚步空气都发热
Quickening my steps, the air grows warm
绿灯的节奏跟着我
The green light's rhythm keeps pace with me
红灯最后倒数三秒钟
Counting down the last three seconds at the red light
梦的天空
The sky of dreams
不该是座迷宫
Shouldn't it be a labyrinth
直线画出彩虹
A straight line draws a rainbow
心像风般自由
My heart is as free as the wind
爱的天空
The sky of love
开不开心直说
Just say if you’re happy or not
哭过后的笑容
The smile after the tears
难过丢向天空
Sorrow thrown to the sky
我选择在街上直走
I choose to walk straight down the street
和人群擦肩而过
Brushing past the crowd
寂寞可以扣掉几分钟
Loneliness can be brushed away in a few minutes
目标就差三个街口
Just three blocks away from my goal
相信他一定等我
I believe he will surely wait for me
加快脚步空气都发热
Quickening my steps, the air grows hot
距离在心跳中压缩
Distance compresses within my heartbeat
越跳越重每次都感动
With each jump, it gets heavier, moving me anew
梦的天空
The sky of dreams
不该是座迷宫
Shouldn't be a maze
直线画出彩虹
A straight line drawing a rainbow
心像风般自由

Just say if you’re happy or not
哭过后的笑容
A smile after the tears
难过丢向天空
Sadness cast into the sky
梦的天空
The sky of dreams
不该是座迷宫
Shouldn't be a maze
直线画出彩虹
