那些你很冒險的夢 – JJ Lin 林俊傑
当两颗心开始震动
当你瞳孔学会闪躲
当爱慢慢被遮住只剩下黑
距离像影子被拉拖
当爱的故事像听说
我找不到你单纯的面孔
当生命每分每秒都为你转动
心多执著就加倍心痛
那些你很冒险的梦
我陪你去疯
摺纸飞机 碰到雨天
终究会坠落
太残忍的话我只说
因为爱很重
你却不想懂
只往反方向走
当爱的故事像听说
我找不到你单纯的面孔
当生命每分每秒都为你转动
心有多执著就加倍心痛
那些你很冒险的梦
我陪你去疯
摺纸飞机 碰到雨天
终究会坠落
太残忍的话我只说
因为爱很重
你却不想懂
只往反方向走
我不想放手
你松开的左手
历来的放纵
我再不会变空
捂住了累了都已再也不回头
那些你很冒险的梦
我陪你去疯
摺纸飞机 碰到雨天
终究会坠落
太残忍的话我只说
因为爱很重
你却不想懂
只往反方向走
你真的不懂
我的爱已降落
