Bye bye baby blue

Caught up in a rush it's killin' you
深陷名利狂潮,它正将你腐蚀殆尽
Screamin' at the sun you blow into
对着烈日嘶吼,你呼出的气也徒劳
Curled up in a grip when we were us
当我们还是“我们”,却蜷缩在压抑的紧握中
Fingers in a fist like you might run
指尖攥成拳头,仿佛你随时准备逃离
I settle for a ghost I never knew

Super paradise I held on to
我曾执守的那片过载天堂
But I settle for a ghost
最终却只与幽灵为伍
