后视镜里的世界
The world in the rearview mirror
越来越远的道别
A farewell that grows more distant
你转身向背 侧脸还是很美
You turn away, your profile still so lovely
我用眼光去追 竟听见你的泪
I chase you with my gaze, yet I hear your tears
在车窗外面徘徊
Lingering outside the car window
是我错失的机会
It's the opportunity I let slip away
你站的方位 跟我中间隔著泪
The distance between us is filled with tears
街景一直在后退 你的崩溃在窗外零碎
The street scenes retreating behind, your breakdown scattered outside
我一路向北 离开有你的季节
I head north, leaving the season that held you
你说你好累 已无法再爱上谁
You say you're so tired, unable to love anyone else
风在山路吹 过往的画面全都是我不对
The wind blows along the mountain road, all the past scenes are my fault.
细数惭愧 我伤你几回
Counting my regrets, how many times have I hurt you?
后视镜里的世界
The world in the rearview mirror,
越来越远的道别
A farewell that slips further away.
你转身向背 侧脸还是很美
As you turn your back, your profile is still beautiful.
我用眼光去追 竟听见你的泪
I chase with my eyes, yet I hear your tears.
在车窗外面徘徊
Lingering outside the car window,
是我错失的机会
It's a chance I let slip away.
你站的方位 跟我中间隔著泪
The distance between you and me is filled with tears.
街景一直在后退 你的崩溃在窗外零碎
The street scene keeps retreating, your breakdown fragments outside the window.
我一路向北 离开有你的季节
I travel north, leaving behind the season that had you.
你说你好累 已无法再爱上谁
You say you're so tired, unable to love anyone else.
风在山路吹 过往的画面全都是我不对
The wind blows on the mountain road, all the memories are just my mistakes.
细数惭愧 我伤你几回
Counting my shame, how many times have I hurt you?
我一路向北 离开有你的季节
I travel north, leaving behind the season that had you.
方向盘周围回转著我的后悔
The steering wheel spins, surrounded by my regrets.
我加速超越 却甩不掉紧紧跟随的伤悲
I speed up to escape, yet can’t shake off the sorrow that closely follows.
细数惭愧 我伤你几回
Counting my shame, how many times have I hurt you?
停止狼狈 就让错纯粹
Stop the struggle, let the mistakes be pure.
