I'm standing on the edge of bright eyes

Watching the world go by
看著世界流逝
I'm looking down a bottomless well

And I'm waiting for the end

It's a long way down, I know that very well

But I'm hanging on by a thread
但我還是堅持著
And I'm praying to a god that I don't believe in
我向著一個我不相信的神明祈禱
Trying to make a wish come true

Chorus:
Bright eyes, they're shining in the dark

They're beckoning me to come and find them

But I'm lost and I'm crying in my pillow

Trying to find my way back home

It's a hard world out there, you know

Bridge:
It's not where you come from, it's where you're going that counts

And I don't know which way to turn
