Long Hot Summer

I can’t sleep

Ain’t no sleep a’coming

I’m just lying here thinking ’bout you

I’m in deep

Falling deep into the picture in my mind of everything we’re gonna do

Over at the lake and down by the river

You can feel it start to rise

Wanna jump in my car,go wherever you are

Cause I need you by my side

It’s gonna be a long,hot summer,we should be together

With your feet up on the dashboard now

Singing along with the radio,it’s such a beautiful sound

And when you say my name in the middle of the day,I swear I see the stars come out

When you hold my hand in the back of my mind,just waiting on the sun to go down,the sun to go down

I wanna see your brown skin shimmer in the sun for the first time

I try to be the one who knows just what to do to you to get me that smile

One chance of meeting,you were walking by me on the street and I said hi

And that was the beginning of my heart spinning like these wheels in my head tonight

......

The only place that I wanna be is where you are

Cause anymore than a heartbeat away is just too far

It’s gonna be a long,hot summer,we should be together

All I really want is more than this moment right now

And when you say my name in the middle of the day,I swear I see the stars come out

And when you hold my hand and I look into your eyes

I swear it looks like you’re waiting for the sun to go down,the sun to go down

I swear it’s like you’re waiting for the sun to go down

Waiting on the sun to go down

Hey,yeah

Oh,I’m loving thinking about you

I can’t sleep,I’m just lying here thinking’bout you.

《炎炎長夏》

我無法入睡

絲毫未眠

只是躺著想著你

我越想越深

深深陷入我們將要做的所有事的那些畫面穿湖而過，順河而下

你能感覺到向往的念頭愈演愈烈

想馬上跳進車里，去任何一個你所在之地因為我需要你陪伴左右

炎炎長夏，我們該膩在一塊

此刻，儀表盤上，你正把雙腳高高架起

跟著廣播哼唱，歌聲如此美妙

正午時分，你呼喚著我的名字，我發誓，那一刻我看到了滿天的星辰

我隱約感到你握住我的手，耐心等太陽下山，直到太陽下山

渴望看到你棕色的肌膚在陽光下閃閃發亮

我努力成為你生命的唯一，成為知道如何虜獲你微笑的人

一次在街上偶遇，你從我身邊走過，我說了聲“嗨！”

那是一切心動的開始，如同我今夜為你瘋狂

…… ……

我唯一想去的地方，就是你的身邊

近在咫尺也覺得太遠

炎炎長夏即將到來，我們應該膩在一起

除了此刻的相聚，我還想要更多

正午時分，你呼喚著我名字，我發誓，那一刻，我看到了滿天的星辰

當你握我手時，我凝視你的雙眸

可以肯定，你就像在耐心等待著太陽下山，太陽下山

嘿，沒錯

噢，我喜歡想著你

我無法入睡，只是躺著默默想你
