心裡有數 – Fahrenheit 飛輪海
作詞:陳信廷
作曲:左安安
你微笑我用懷抱開成一座城堡 你哭了我把雨滴收進我的背包
星空會繼續閃耀 愛會繼續美好 天堂是哪個隧道 沿著夢就到
愛了 等於揭曉 不需要誰來預告 答案在你的心跳
要漫步多少旅途 我們都心裡有數
比誰都清楚一定走到幸福
離永遠還有幾步 我們在心裡面倒數
因為你 眼中藏著未來的地圖
數一數許過的願吹熄多少蠟燭 數一數流過的淚串起多少露珠
從今後不再迷路 緊緊把手握住 這一刻你的溫度 被時間留住
愛了 沒有問號 不需要星座預告 答案天使聽得到
要漫步多少旅途 我們都心裡有數
比誰都清楚一定走到幸福
離永遠還有幾步 我們在心裡面倒數
因為你 眼中藏著未來的地圖
RAP
回頭數一遍 走過的路 總共多少公里
你在我左邊 隔著幾米距離 猜你呼吸的頻率 聽你心跳的共鳴
每個數字記在心裡 加減乘除變成了回憶
每一場淋過的雨 每一場看過的晨曦 讓我牽著你的手慢慢收集
明天離幸福還有幾步 這一刻我們都心裡有數
愛了 沒有問號 不需要星座預告 答案天使聽得到
要漫步多少旅途 我們都心裡有數
比誰都清楚一定走到幸福
離永遠還有幾步 我們在心裡面倒數
因為你 眼中藏著未來的地圖
