Lai Bu Ji (Too Late)

This morning I woke up, my mind clear, face flushed
Did I have some shy dream last night?
Maybe it’s the pink hormones flowing in my veins
You breathe, I’m trembling

My heartbeat drifts, reminding us we’re under different skies
Can we really avoid the pain that’s already set?
I think being indecisive is worse than a moth to a flame
Rich or poor, hurt or not, love makes sense disappear

It’s too late, every step is in sync with love’s rhythm
It’s too late, the Earth spins, won’t wait for anyone
It’s too late, looking back to check old wounds
If I make excuses, overthink, it leads nowhere, crying won’t help

This morning when you woke up, did you feel sore all over?
Did my love for you make you feel all tense?
Maybe you were too playful, jumping around in my dreams
You leap, I lose control

My heartbeat drifts, as expected, can’t remind me
The pain that’s already set, just bite down, dreams won’t hurt
I think being indecisive is never my style
Crazy or not, hurt or not, even if I messed up

It’s too late, my mind’s already imprinted with your perfect outline
It’s too late, hurry, catch the fireworks I set off for you
It’s too late, I’ve turned the urge to not love you into enjoyment
I want to break free, want freedom, want to be impulsive
