沿海公路的出口 – S.H.E.
作詞:黃建洲
作曲:鄭楠
編曲:鍾興民 合聲編寫:ELLA/郭文宗
演唱:S.H.E
E:用一根火柴燒一場蜃樓
借這場大雨讓自己逃走
荒茫公路無人的漂泊
寂寞海嘯把我捲走
用一段感情換一個朋友
每一句再見割一道傷口
躲在萬劫不復的街頭
微笑參透覆水難收
H:倘若說放一次手
就像咳一個嗽
我又何苦在乎得不到的溫柔
S:我坐在公路的出口
等待天黑以後 無邊的寂寞
連想你都是種殘酷切磋
H:我目送沿海的日落
緊抱一個醉生夢死的枕頭
游不出回憶卻學不會放手 怎麼走
E:倘若說放一次手
就像咳一個嗽
我又何苦在乎得不到的溫柔(H:得不到的)
S:我坐在公路的出口
等待天黑以後 無邊的寂寞

H:我目送沿海的日落
緊抱一個醉生夢死的枕頭
游不出回憶卻學不會放手 怎麼走
WO~~HO~~AR~~
