F.T Island Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
成长从不容易留下会笑出泪的回忆
太多共同经历 共享命运
像连体婴 怎么能舍弃
还要一起冲 还要一起疯
踢开了迷惑再跳着感动
为了挺我将难得的机会让我
看我突破以我为荣
追求难免伤痛
为了挺你随传就随到付出所有
最希望 能一起成功
就算互相较劲从不互相妒忌的感情
比赛谁最努力刺激大家往更好前进
我们发过脾气 闹过革命
变更紧密（变得更紧密）不会再怀疑
还要一起冲 还要一起疯
踢开了迷惑再跳着感动
为了挺我将难得的机会让我
看我突破以我为荣
还要一起冲还要一起勇敢做梦
追求难免伤痛
为了挺你随传就随到付出所有
最希望 能一起成功
还要一起冲 还要一起疯
踢开了迷惑再跳着感动
为了挺我将难得的机会让我
看我突破以我为荣
还要一起冲还要一起勇敢做梦
追求难免伤痛
为了挺你随传就随到付出所有
最希望 能一起成功
