不来也不去

扬帆时 人潮没有你
我是我 和途人一起
停顿时 在你笑开的眼眉
望穿秋水之美
回程时 浪淘尽了你
任背影 长睡着不起
留下我 在粪土当中翻检背囊
直到拾回自己

掌心因此多出一根刺
没有刺痛便懒知
就当共你 有旧情没有往事

如烟 因给你递过火
如火 却也没熔掉我
回望最初 当丧失是得着可不可
可痛若骊歌 乐如儿歌
像你没来过 没去过

谁同行 仍同样结尾
血液里 才遗传悲喜
谁亦难 避过这一身客尘
但刚巧出于你
垂头前 没缘分丧气
睡到醒 才站立得起
盲目过 便看到天机反覆往来
又再做回自己

即使一生多出一根刺
没有刺痛别要知
就当共你 有剧情没有故事

如烟 因给你递过火
如火 却也没熔掉我
回望最初 当丧失是得着可不可
可痛若骊歌 乐如儿歌
像你没来过 没去过

如花 超生了没有果
如果 过路能重踏过
就当最初 是碎步湖上可不可
不种下什么 摘来什么
像我没来过 没去过

Passing by (Never been here, never left here)

The ship was sailing, there was a crowd. There was no you.
I myself, was just like anyone there, passing by.
Stopping there, I saw the beauty in you, your smile, your eye.
When returning, you were already gone with the wave.
I was there lying, not able to stand again.
I was left in the dirt, with my baggage.
Until one day I found myself again.

A splinter is in my palm since then.
Not realising it, when it doesn’t hurt.
Like we were in love, but nothing happened.

Just like smoke, it was there because you lit it up.
Just like fire, still I wasn’t melt because of it.
Looking back, maybe just think of the lost as a gain?
It can hurt, like a farewell song. It can also bring joy, like a children song.
Like you had never been here, never left here.

It would also end like this, even if I was with anyone else.
Happiness and sadness is in our blood, inherited.
No one can escape.
It just happens to be you.
Depressed, but by chance, didn’t die.
Slept enough, finally standing again.
Losing my sight, seeing opportunities again,
getting myself back again.

Even if there is one more splinter.
Don’t think about it, it won’t hurt.
Like we had a script, not a story.

Just like smoke, it was there because you lit it up.
Just like fire, still I wasn’t melt because of it.
Looking back, maybe just think of the lost as a gain?
It can hurt, like a farewell song. It can also bring joy, like a children song.
Like you didn’t come here. I didn’t go anywhere.

Like flower, no longer have its fruit in the afterlife.
If our past can be relived,
just treat like we were walking on water,
not leaving a trail, not taking anything.
Like I had never gone anywhere, left anywhere.
