The rest of my life with you
[Intro - 4 Bars, Distorted Electric Guitar, Driving Rock Drums]

想起你的夜里 怎么会冰冻
Xiǎngqǐ nǐ de yèlǐ zěnme huì bīngdòng
How could it be so cold on nights I think of you?
走在熟悉的街道 心怎么会空空
Zǒu zài shúxī de jiēdào xīn zěnme huì kōngkōng
Walking on familiar streets, why is my heart so empty?
我仰望着星空 那有你美丽的梦

I gaze at the starry sky, where your beautiful dreams reside
闪烁着星光的梦 那是你该有的天空

The dream sparkling with starlight, that's the sky you should have

Zài yǔzhōng qiān nǐ de shǒu zǒng huì yǒu wēnnuǎn
Holding your hand in the rain, there was always warmth
残留手中的感觉 浅浅变得濛濛

The feeling lingering in my hand, slowly becoming hazy
我等候的晴空 那有我翱翔的梦
Wǒ děnghòu de qíngkōng nà yǒu wǒ áoxiáng de mèng
The clear sky I await, where my soaring dreams are
白天和黑夜的不同 离别的注定的痛

The difference between day and night, the destined pain of separation
