午夜等着时针揭晓撕下假面具的信号解禁自我即刻生效起飞在狂欢的跑道I want it all I want it all人影婆娑星辰有点寂寞I wanna have it谁的呼吸 谁的秘密谁的香味越过安全距离月光绽放在 Midnight心跳漂浮起来制造悸动的意外午夜节奏到来我们不知倦怠身体像飞起来Touch me when the sun goes downTouch me after midnightI like it better after midnightI like it better after midnight把白昼的教条忘掉该丢掉多余的骄傲关不住拥抱和尖叫把兴奋多燃烧一秒I want it all I want it all花这一整夜好奇地探索I wanna have it你的呼吸 你的眼底你藏起我想解开的秘密月光绽放在 Midnight心跳漂浮起来制造悸动的意外午夜节奏到来我们不知倦怠身体像飞起来Touch me when the sun goes downTouch me after midnightI like it better after midnightI like it better after midnightI like it better after midnight讯号太拥挤眼神太窒息咫尺的距离靠近我们不曲终没有人散夜未央心还澎湃今晚没有人要醒过来月光绽放在 Midnight心跳漂浮起来制造悸动的意外午夜节奏到来我们不知倦怠身体像飞起来Touch me when the sun goes downTouch me after midnightI like it better after midnightI like it better after midnight(When you make me crazy)I like it better after midnightI like it better after midnight(Until the early morning)I like it better after midnightI like it better after midnight

English Translation

The midnight waits for the hands of the clock to unveil itThe signal to tear off the maskBreaking free of my restraints right nowSoar on the runway to celebrationI want it all I want it allIt’s a little lonely to be dancing among the crowd and starsI wanna have itWhose breath, whose secretsWhose scent crossed the safe distance?The moonlight shines at midnightThe heart starts beatingCreating a throbbing accidentThe rhythm of the midnight arrivesWe don’t know what its like being worn outLike the bodies are flyingTouch me when the sun goes downTouch me after midnightI like it better after midnightI like it better after midnightForget about the beliefs during the dayThrow away the unnecessary prideUnable to contain the hugs and screamsLight up the excitement just for another secondI want it all I want it allTo spend the whole night curiously searchingI wanna have itYour breath, your eyesYou hid the secret that I wanted to unveilThe moonlight shines at midnightThe heart starts beatingCreating a throbbing accidentThe rhythm of the midnight arrivesWe don’t know what its like being worn outLike the bodies are flyingTouch me when the sun goes downTouch me after midnightI like it better after midnightI like it better after midnightI like it better after midnightThe signals are too crowdedThe glances are too suffocatingClosely, come closerIf we don’t stop our song, no one will leaveThe night has not ended, hearts are still full of excitementNobody wants to wake up tonightThe moonlight shines at midnightThe heart starts beatingCreating a throbbing accidentThe rhythm of the midnight arrivesWe don’t know what its like being worn outLike the bodies are flyingTouch me when the sun goes downTouch me after midnightI like it better after midnightI like it better after midnight(When you make me crazy)I like it better after midnightI like it better after midnight(Until the early morning)I like it better after midnightI like it better after midnight
