Crowds, fireworks, champagne, and balloons
是你 带我 从派对逃走

You’re the one who helped me escape from the party
逃离 人间 耳语和骚动
Táo lí rén jiān ěr yǔ hé sāo dòng
Escape from the whispers and uproars of the earth
这里 只有 你我和星空
Zhè lǐ zhǐ yǒu nǐ wǒ hé xīng kōng
Here, there’s only you, me, and the sky of stars
你是 何时 静静靠近我

When did you quietly approach me
你是 何时 偷偷拯救我

When did you secretly save me
在我 掌心 放了 一颗糖果
Zài wǒ zhǎng xīn fàng le yī kē táng guǒ
And put a candy in the palm of my hand
人类 为何 都爱看天空
Rén lèi wèi hé dōu ài kàn tiān kōng
Why do humans love looking at the sky
背上 却都 有一对伤口

But their backs have a pair of wounds
生在 这个 凡人的星球

Being born on this planet of ordinary people
是否 不配 作天使的梦

活在 执著 对错的牢笼
