再晚一点回家

街道旁的灯光 还是老样子

我推着旧单车 走得有点慢

你说这风凉快 像小时候的夏天

我偷看你侧脸 说了句“是啊”

那就再晚一点回家吧

趁着月亮还没睡着 趁着路灯还亮着

反正这城市很大 我也不赶时间

多想留在这一刻 别让故事走散

小饭馆的菜单 还是那几样

你笑我吃得急 像个没长大的孩子

我们聊了很多 那些关于未来的梦

也偷偷藏起 那些没说出口的遗憾

那就再晚一点回家吧

趁着月亮还没睡着 趁着路灯还亮着

反正这城市很大 我也不赶时间

多想留在这一刻 别让故事走散

时间啊 像一阵晚风 吹过旧衣裳

我们都在长大 弄丢了一些简单

但这一刻 就在这里 刚刚好

(刚刚好)

再晚一点回家 (再晚一点)

就这么走着 (走着)

不着急 不着急

天亮再说吧...
