王铮亮《最远的距离》歌词
曾经是围在一起无话不说的兄弟
现在难得再相聚却都已低头不语
你拍照分享朋友圈觉得最有意义
却忘记把简单快乐的你留在这里
曾经回到家总要关心爸妈的身体
现在却不停盯着让你沉默的手机
你总会花很多时间点赞在人群里
却忘记对爸妈真心说声我爱你
以为最远的距离是失去她的消息
以为最近的关系是彼此发着信息
以为最美的风景是图片中的记忆
以为最好的回忆是把心留在过去
时间流逝把目光投向身后的你
伸出双手拥抱彼此真实的相遇
带着你的温度走向辽阔的天地
放下手机让爱回到生活的轨迹
曾经最爱笑的你送她玫瑰和玩具
曾经最爱闹的你总爱惹她发脾气
现在就算面对面话都懒的说一句
再也腾不出手将她搂在你怀里
Put away the phones,
talk with parents and friends more often,
go out to enjoy the nature.
Thank you!
