Someone who isn't quite ready

路灯下的影子 被我越拉越长

(越拉越长)

不想这么快 就和这街道 互相遗忘

口袋里的烟 还没来得及 点亮

你说的笑话 还在我耳边 轻轻回响

能不能 拜托时间 你慢点走

把这月色 和温柔 都借给我收留

再多一分钟 哪怕只是 街角的停留

别让 我们的故事 这么快 就走到尽头

别让 我们的故事 这么快 就走到尽头

风里有酒味 还有一丝 晚风的凉

我还在想象 你是不是 也和我一样

在那个路口 偷偷回望

还是早已 走进了 梦的中央

能不能 拜托时间 你慢点走

把这月色 和温柔 都借给我收留

再多一分钟 哪怕只是 街角的停留

别让 我们的故事 这么快 就走到尽头

别让 我们的故事 这么快 就走到尽头

能不能 拜托时间 你慢点走

把这月色 和温柔 都借给我收留

再多一分钟 哪怕只是 街角的停留

别让 我们的故事 这么快 就走到尽头

别让 我们的故事 这么快 就走到尽头

路灯一盏盏 熄灭在身后

路灯一盏盏 熄灭在身后

我还是 舍不得 松开手

晚安 这座 还没睡醒的 城市

晚安 我心中 那个 不愿回家的 孩子

(Mmm-hmm...)
