[Episode 2]

I graduated from Jiangning University,
with a major in accounting.

During my time at university,

I actively participated
in various club activities and projects,

which significantly enhanced my teamwork
and leadership skills.

Hold up. Is this fraud, though?

Four years of college
and I was too lazy for any clubs.

How could beautifying campus life
be considered fraud?

Fine.

Then ask me a few questions in English.

Alright.

Shengyuan is a local real estate company.

Why do you prepare for an English interview?

Just in case.

Wow, you are so well-prepared this time.

Yeah, yeah.

But why are you so serious
for this interview?

Xi Gua, why so serious this time?

You're usually Miss Carefree.

Is it because...

Zhuang Xu lined up this interview for you?

Maybe just a bit.

What do you mean?

I was answering your question just now.

I don't want him looking down on me.

But if that's the case,

maybe others think the same way too.

Why would I know?

Anyway, Zhuang Xu grabbed that résumé
and submitted it for you,

so you can't really be blamed for that.

Still, that day was really strange.

Why did Zhuang Xu submit a company
in Shanghai for you?

Was he hoping you'd end up there?

Quit overthinking. It only misleads you.

Every stumble makes you wiser.

Alright.

Even if I pass, I won't end up at Shengyuan.

So why bother?

Because I have to prove I can.

I need to prove coasting is my choice.

The moment I decide to hustle, I'll crush it.

You're all fired up!

[Shanghai]

[Shengyuan Group]

Miss Nie.

Please, have a seat.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

I was held up for a moment.

- It's alright.
- Please take a seat.

- Have some water.
- Thank you.

You came all the way from Nanjing.

That must've been tiring.

It's fine.

No need to be nervous.

Mr. Sheng's already briefed me.

I'll just ask a few questions,
a mere formality.

Mr. Sheng?

Let's hold off on issuing
[Shengyuan Group]

perpetual bonds for now
[Shengyuan Group]

and not be the one

to stick our neck out.
[Sheng Xian Min, Chairman]

Let's wait and see how things turn out.

I think so, too.
[Sheng Xing Jie]

Shengyuan's current debt ratio
and funding costs

are still quite favorable.
[Sheng Bo Kai, General Manager]

Now, let's talk about the cooperation project
with Wuxi Yuancheng Group.

I've already reported this
to the Chairman before.

Yuancheng leads commercial real estate
in Jiangsu

and we've partnered with them plenty.

Now they're stepping into residential.
[Sheng Zhong Kai, Deputy General Manager]

They just picked up a plot in Wuxi

and want to team with Shengyuan to build
the city's first high-end smart community.

The evaluation team

has given preliminary approval
to the joint development proposal.

Here is the assessment report.

Wuxi's per cap it a GDP
ranks among the top three nationwide.

It has a much higher premium margin
than nearby cities.

The evaluation team believes
this project still holds strong promise.

Nie's got ambition.

Let's hear everyone's thoughts.

I'm in favor.

We've partnered with Yuancheng before.

Nie Cheng Yuan is trustworthy
in both character and ability.

The terms he offered show real sincerity.

And being a local company,

they know the Wuxi market and policies
inside out.

I'd say this collaboration is a safe bet.

I wouldn't say that.

Nie Cheng Yuan is nothing more
than a flashy upstart.

There's no substance beneath the shine.

Why should we keep hyping him up like this?

Speaking of that earlier deal,

Yuancheng's Phase 2 funding

for the Suzhou PV facility expansion
hasn't come through.

What's he like? Hard to say, really.

Because of the AD/CVD probes
in Europe and the U.S.,

everyone knows what's going on
in the PV market right now.

I was thinking
maybe it's time we cut our losses.

Yu Sen...

how do you see these two issues?

I remember you were
against the expansion last year.

That was in the first half of last year.

Back then,
the global PV market was still booming,

but signs of overcapacity
were already showing.

So I thought instead of expanding capacity,

it would be better to invest in technology,

sharpen our skills,
and wait for the next opportunity.

But times change.

Now that the expansion is already underway,
and the sunk costs are significant,

we shouldn't hesitate.

On the contrary, we should speed things up,

use the low points in the cycle
to complete the upgrades and expansion

of the production lines.

After all, the new-energy industry
is a national strategic sector,

and its rise is irreversible.

If we push Yuancheng and their funding
still isn't in place,

we could consider a capital increase,
which would dilute their shares.

And what about today's deal?

About today, if your aim
is just to support the younger generation,

doing a bit of charity.

It's fine.

But from a purely business perspective,

I don't see anything that benefits Shengyuan.

State your reasons.

Wuxi does have strong potential,
but the market lacks real momentum.

And Wuxi's resettlement housing
is relatively high in quality,

which makes commercial housing

clear its inventory more slowly
than in other cities.

That's a real disadvantage
for investors trying to recover funds.

Of course,
Shengyuan can still profit from it.

Just as Mr. Sheng Bo Kai said before,

real estate is full of golden opportunities.

But some are big, and some are small.

Whichever one you pick up comes with a cost.

And the piece Yuancheng tossed out
is just too small.

Yuancheng isn't short of
big opportunities either.

Just last year, they made a big splash
by securing a plot in Nanjing.

The expected profit and cash recovery speed
far outstrip this project.

Yet they kept it to themselves.

Working long-term with a partner
that shows so little sincerity

is just a drain on energy
and brand influence,

while only fueling their own growth.

What's with your nephew today?

He usually keeps a low profile,

but now he's suddenly so sharp.

The Yuancheng project is pretty much
a nonstarter for our group,

but it doesn't really get in Mr. Lin's way.

I think there's something off about it.

Go ask Mr. Nie if he's got a problem
with Mr. Lin.

I'll give Nie Cheng Yuan a call

and find out how he ended up
pissing off my nephew.

Just talking about charity
and helping others grow

is enough to make the Chairman hesitate.

Who would've thought that after
only a little over a year in the business,

he, once a surgeon, speaks like a scalpel,
sharp, precise, and ruthless,

cutting straight to the heart of the matter.

In some ways, he even carries a bit of
the poise his mother had back in the day.

Best watch your words.

[Huaya Bank]

[Shengyuan Group]

Here!

I grabbed you sweet and sour spare ribs,

the standard eight pieces,
and I didn't sneak any.

Thanks.

Here's your runner's fee.

You really know how to play it right.

Xi Gua, was your interview smooth?

It's a bit complicated,
not quite what I expected.

Do you have a shot?

Yes, but I still need to think it over.

Then that means you've succeeded!

I've got top honors.

Landing an interview at a big company.

- Treat us!
- Forget it.

We've been dining out non-stop lately,

and I've already packed on some pounds.

Besides, Xi Gua hasn't decided
whether to join Shengyuan or not.

No. We're about to hit the real world,
working our tails off.

So before graduation, eating a bit more

and putting on some weight
totally makes sense.

Gotta meet someone. Catch you later.
You guys take your time.

- Take care.
- Bye.

Bye.

I'm done too, so I'll get going.

Xi Guang.

You really weren't thinking
when you said that.

Rong still hasn't gotten a call
from Shengyuan for an interview,

and that's the company
she's been dreaming of.

Meanwhile, you've got the offer,

and you're actually saying
you still need to think it over?

My bad.
I didn't think that much at the time.

If you don't want to go back to Wuxi,
Shengyuan's a solid choice.

So what are you thinking?

Nothing much, really.

I've applied to a few other companies too.

Just want to see how things play out.

Let's go.

Mrs. Zhuang.
The baby bok choy looks really good today.

Yeah, I'm off to cook.

Go ahead.

Madam.

Rong, haven't seen you in quite a while.

Come, have a seat.

You're looking prettier than ever.

How's the job search going?

With grades like yours, doors are wide open.

It's fine.

There's something I'd like
to ask Zhuang Xu's help with.

You two grew up together,
no need to be so formal.

He went grocery-shopping with Zhuang Fei

and should be back any minute now.

Look, here they are.

- Mom.
- Rong wants to talk to you.

Rong.
[Zhuang Fei]

You should hear her out.

What is it?

Well, I've been getting
lots of interview calls lately,

but none from Shengyuan.

I've been mulling it over for days,
and I just can't get it off my mind.

You have a senior at Shengyuan, right?

I was hoping you could ask her
why I didn't get an interview.

I don't need you to pull strings.

I just want to figure out what I'm missing.

[Herman C. E. Liu Memories Library]

0512.

Suzhou?

Hello.

Hello.

This is the HR Department of Suzhou
Shuangyuan Photovoltaic Technology Co., Ltd.

May I speak to Nie Xi Guang?

Yes.

We're pleased to have received your résumé.

After careful review, we'd like to invite you
to interview for our finance position.

If that works for you,

we'll send the time and location
to you shortly by text message.

Alright, thank you.

So even without my parents' help,
I can land a job on my own.

Xi Guang, come over to Ximo Pavilion.
[Si Liang]

Something's come up.

Boss.

Si Liang called you to Ximo Pavilion too?

- Yeah. You too?
- Yeah.

I asked her what it was about,
but she wouldn't say.

Acting all mysterious.

So I was right.

What?

Look at the time.

It's almost five.

Exactly. At this hour,
it's gotta be a dinner gathering.

Maybe she's got an offer
from some big company

and wants to surprise us.

Ximo Pavilion is close to the west gate.

Could she be treating us to that boiled fish

with pickled mustard greens
by the entrance?

Feng's going to be furious.

She's been in Shanghai the past few days
meeting her advisor,

then went back home for a bit,

and has already missed several big dinners.

Let's give her a call tonight
and tell her how delicious it is,

so she can feel included.

It's not like she's not coming back.

Careful. She might kill you
when she comes back.

Why'd you call everyone to meet here?

Are we really eating boiled fish
with pickled mustard greens?

Zhuang Xu, you're here, too.

Where's Xiang Qun?

Why are you all staring at me like that?

Nie Xi Guang.

What?

You're really asking me that?

This is way too weird.

After what you did,
don't you feel any guilt at all?

What did I do?

Rong, chill.

We haven't even got the full story yet.

Xi Guang, did you get a call from Shengyuan

about the interview for Rong
on Monday afternoon?

Of course not.

You still won't admit it?

Nie Xi Guang, I can't believe
you'd do something like this.

Or maybe she just forgot?

Xi Gua was still asleep
when we left that day.

Maybe she picked it up
and went straight back to sleep,

and when she woke up,
she just forgot to tell you.

Are you suspecting me of
answering your interview call

and not telling you?

You must be mistaken.
I never received any interview calls for you.

Why bother denying it?

Too bad your clever schemes backfired.

If it hadn't been for Zhuang Xu
calling his senior to ask,

you really might have gotten away with it.

Si Liang,

can you walk us through the whole thing?

Rong never got the interview call.

So Zhuang Xu asked his senior
who works in HR at Shengyuan.

She said they sent out a unified notice

right after work started on Monday afternoon,

and Rong was on the interview list.

Since her phone was stolen,
the company could only call our dorm.

That afternoon, Rong, Fen, Feng and I
went out together.

You were the only one sleeping in the dorm.

Boss went out of town for an interview
and came back Tuesday.

I was with Rong and Fen all afternoon.

Feng went to the train station.

So... think carefully.

Did you take the call back then
and just forget?

I'm absolutely certain I didn't.

Actually, not long after you all left,
I went straight to the library.

So I never received any call at all.

You're really washing your hands of it.

Maybe Shengyuan never even called.

Or maybe they missed it,

or dialed but no one picked up,
and then forgot to call again.

I knew you'd say that.

Luckily, his senior went the extra mile

and asked the person
in charge of notifications.

The staff, afraid of being accused,

pulled up the call records.

It was made at 2:30 PM,
and lasted almost a minute.

He said the person who answered
promised to pass the message along,

so they didn't call again.

But who could have imagined
you could be so malicious?

No matter what they say,
the fact is I never got any calls.

Besides, why would I do that?

No reason?

Don't you like Zhuang Xu?

Shengyuan is so close to Huaya.

You don't want me and Zhuang Xu
to be together, do you?

- That's why you...
- Rong.

Maybe it really is just a misunderstanding.

Anyway, you've got another interview now.

Let it go.

Don't make everyone upset.

Yeah.

I feel like something went wrong in all this.

The matter can be left behind.

But look at her.

Has she shown even a hint of regret
or the slightest apology?

I just can't swallow it.

Ye Rong, you're seriously underestimating me.

If I really wanted to stop you
from getting the interview,

do you think Shengyuan
would've called you at all?

Who do you think you are?

Nowadays, it's all about strength.

Wanna give it a try?

Hello? Is this Manager Li?

This is Nie Xi Guang.

- Sorry, we're from...
- The number you dialed does not exist.

Please check it and redial.

Sorry, the number you dialed does not exist.

Please check it and redial.

It's an invalid number.

I really thought money could work miracles...

but it was all just for show.

I'll say it one more time.

I never did it.

It's up to you to believe me or not.

♫ Turns out that person ♫

♫ Has a certain possibility ♫

♫ Of preventing this story
from ever starting ♫

♫ From that first word of greeting ♫

♫ To the question about your name ♫

♫ I could never forget your gaze ♫

Be honest.

Did you move back because of Zhuang Xu?

♫ Is no longer possible ♫

You all noticed?

You're being way too obvious.

But I have a question.

Rong doesn't have a boyfriend, I know that.

So what exactly is her relationship
with Zhuang Xu?

If they like each other, then I'll give up.

I'm not sure about that.

Why don't you just ask Rong?

Rong.

I want to ask you something.

Is it about Zhuang Xu?

Yes.

Even though we've been neighbors
since childhood,

I don't really know him that well.

You're asking the wrong person.

I see.

Thanks, I get it now.

♫ Turns out the wish to see you again
can no longer come true ♫

♫ We once rushed through our youth ♫

Zhuang Xu.

Well...

I think you've probably already guessed.

I like you.

Would you be my boyfriend?

Sorry.

So it really was too early, huh?

Even so, I'm not giving up.

I'll keep liking you,
until the day you finally return the feeling.

Give me time. I'll win you over.

♫ Never truly warmed us ♫

♫ Even till dawn,
I cannot hold a good night ♫

♫ When swift regret finds its open door ♫

♫ No wonder time itself is sore ♫

You confessed to Zhuang Xu?

Yeah. How did you know?

Someone has seen you.

Now the whole department's gossiping,
saying you stole someone's love.

What?

Zhuang Xu doesn't even have a girlfriend.

Rong.

They may not be dating,

but everyone knows they grew up together,
always kind of ambiguous.

But...

Should I text him to ask?

I'm sorry. I honestly didn't realize
you and Rong had something going on.

Otherwise I wouldn't have confessed to you.

I hope I didn't cause you any trouble.

If they're not that kind of relationship,
he'll reply to me, right?

Did he reply?

No.

♫ We once rushed through our youth ♫

♫ Waiting and waiting
in the same old place ♫

♫ Ends up letting us turn into strangers ♫

Nie Xi Guang.

You really are a complete fool.

♫ There's no turning back ♫

♫ Just admit it ♫

♫ And let it go ♫

Xi Guang, why are you back today?

I'm starving. Don't fight me for it.

I won't.

Nie Xi Guang, Ms. Zhang made the baozi.

I can't finish them. You want some?

There's meat inside.

Xi Guang.

What's wrong?

Don't tell me you're heartbroken again.

Can you just be quiet and stop bothering me?

So you really are?

You got rejected again?

Don't tell me it's still because of Zhuang.

I thought you'd already given up on him.

Alright then, you'll get used to it.

Xi Guang, I left the baozi at your door.

[Herman C. E. Liu Memories Library]

Zhuang Xu actually gave you a phone?

Yeah. I didn't expect it either.

Nie Xi Guang, let's just drop that matter.

We're classmates after all.

This is an early birthday present
Zhuang Xu gave me yesterday.

You win some, and you lose some.

That old saying really hits the mark.

Sometimes, why bother scheming so cleverly?

What's there to show off
about such an ordinary phone?

Indeed, it is ordinary,
just a little over 1000 yuan.

Of course, it's beneath your notice.

But haven't you heard the saying,

"A priceless treasure is easy to find,
but a true lover is hard to come by"?

Exactly.

A true lover is hard to come by.

Congratulations then.

I'm back.

Alright, you're back.

Go wash up.

Lights out soon.

Haven't seen you in days, why so cold?

I'm fine now.

I just got back from my interview
at Shengyuan today.

They gave me another chance.

Thank you, ma'am.

I'm at peace now.

I'll just take it as
a taste of the real world.

I'm not going to say anything to others.

Can't let people think
our class isn't united.

But if the rumors get out, that's not on me.

I'm the one who got hurt here,

and I don't owe anyone else their reputation.

What happened?

It looks pretty serious.

Where's Xi Gua?

Lights out soon and she's still not back.

Did she go stay at her uncle's again?

Something did happen.

Monday afternoon, we went out together.

Xi Guang was asleep at the time.

- You remember that, right?
- Yeah. What's wrong?

That afternoon, around 2 PM,
Shengyuan called Rong,

asking her to come for an interview.

Xi Guang picked up the call.

Maybe she forgot to tell Rong,

almost making her miss something
that could change her life.

What nonsense are you talking about?

Why blame Xi Gua?

I was the one who answered that call.

And they said they'd call Rong again
themselves.

They never told me to pass it on.

[Feng]

Hello?

Thank you, ma'am, and thanks to
all my classmates for joining the meal today.

I hope everyone enjoys themselves.

I'll raise my cup of tea to toast you all.

No, please, don't bother standing up.

Let's just keep it casual.

I invited everyone here for dinner today

mainly to say thanks for all the care
you've given me these past few years.

You've really made my college life
a happy one.

But there's also something
I want to set straight.

I just want to make it clear,

so I can finish my college years
feeling happy and free of regrets.

What does she mean?

Recently, you may have heard my dorm mate,
Ye Rong, missed her interview

with Shanghai Shengyuan
because she lost her phone.

There's been talk that
when Shengyuan called our dorm,

Nie Xi Guang answered,
but didn't pass on the message,

which led to her missing it.

I need to make a correction.

I was the one who answered that call.

- It was her?
- It was last Monday afternoon.

I went out with Rong, Si Liang and Fen.

They had errands to run,
and I went to Shanghai.

When I got to the train station,
I realized I'd forgotten my ID card,

so I went back to the dorm to get it.

Since I was in a hurry, I took a taxi.

I kept the receipt in my wallet.

Shengyuan's call came at 2:30 PM.

By a little after 2:40 PM,
I got in the taxi at the north gate.

You can check the timing.

It's true.

If this isn't enough, I've got more evidence.

The traffic jam made me late.

- Here's your gift for making it ashore.
- Thank you.

That day, after Fen and Feng left,
I got up soon after and went to the library.

When I arrived,
I first returned the book I'd borrowed.

So the library has my return record
and time stamp.

I took a photo of it.

The system is right there.

Anyone can check it anytime.

If you still don't believe me,

the dorm office and library
have surveillance footage.

I'm just a student,
so I can't check it myself.

If necessary,
we can request it through the school,

and I'm sure it can be reviewed.

No need. I trust you.

Now it seems this was all a misunderstanding.

It wasn't Nie Xi Guang
but Feng, who forgot to tell Ye Rong.

This is the second thing I want to clear up.

I didn't forget.

I remember very clearly

that the staff at Shengyuan told me
they would notify Rong later.

But I don't know why,

when Rong and Zhuang Xu called them,
they suddenly changed their story.

- And I have no way to prove this part.
- I can.

I went to an interview at Shengyuan,

so I have the phone number
of their HR manager.

Of course, not the senior Rong and Zhuang Xu
spoke to on the phone.

I asked the HR manager
to help me investigate.

He was very helpful,
and after looking into it,

he told me that the staff
in charge of interview notices

forgot to notify Ye Rong the second time.

But when the senior asked about it,

that employee was afraid of
taking responsibility and lied.

Here is the recording of
my conversation with Mr. Li,

along with the employee's apology.

I recorded it with their consent.

Xi Gua,

I'm touched by how much you've done for me.

You stood up bravely for my innocence,

so of course I'll fight for yours too.

And one more thing, I want to make it clear.

After all that's happened,
I find Shengyuan completely unreliable,

and utterly undeserving of me.

So I've decided I won't be joining them.

Xi Guang.

I'm sorry for not saying anything that day
to defend you.

I owe you an apology.

Me too, Xi Guang.

I really thought you had just forgotten.

It's fine.

My head was all foggy that day.

Can't blame you for that.

But Boss.

Why did you suddenly...

start clapping during dinner?

It was so awkward. I almost couldn't breathe.

I have no idea.

You were really...

I don't know how to describe it.

After four years as classmates,

I always thought you were laid-back,
a "go-with-the-flow" type.

Never imagined you'd be like this.

You were absolutely dazzling, seriously.

You practically stole the whole show!

This really isn't Boss's fault.

I was stunned too.

This just shows you don't really know me.

When the situation calls for it,
I can own the spotlight.

Here they come.
[Chang]

The gossip's already started.
[Heard the drama just flipped around?]

[Nie Xi Guang didn't hide
Ye Rong's interview call.]

[Xue: So what really happened?]
I especially asked

a few of our top gossipers to dinner.
[Xin: Poor Nie Xi Guang was wrongly accused]

Tomorrow, no, not tomorrow,

tonight, everyone in the Business School
will know that Xi Gua was wronged.

Well, then the treat wasn't in vain.

Why didn't you let me pay?

Come on. I got into grad school.
Of course I had to treat.

I just invited a few extra folks
as messengers.

There's no way I'd make you pay.

You've had enough bad luck already.

Making you chip in? That's just not fair.

By the way, Feng,
didn't you invite Rong and Si Liang?

Of course I did.

How could I not?

Si Liang couldn't make it. Something came up.

As for Rong...

I told her that this dinner
was meant to clear up the misunderstanding.

She chose not to come.

Honestly, I didn't think this
needed to be made such a big deal.

But after I explained it to a few classmates,

within a couple of days,

people started saying I was buttering up
to Xi Gua and taking the blame for her.

I was furious!

Isn't that an insult to my character?

- Really?
- Exactly.

Seriously, that's ridiculous.

Luckily, it's all cleared up now,
otherwise I'd still be stewing over it.

Just one month left, and we'll be graduating.

Pulling something like this
right before graduation is way too awkward.

What's so awkward about it?

The real embarrassment is
on those who spread rumors

and refuse to listen to any explanation.

Xi Gua, for the next couple of days,

maybe you can try putting on that
"poor me, life's so unfair" look?

I don't even need to put it on.

I already look miserable.

What's wrong?

My thesis.

I turned in my first draft a few days ago.

When I was buying you that cake,

my supervisor called and told me
to pick up his feedback on the thesis.

This doesn't sound good.

Relax. No matter what,
he's gonna give you a scare,

like, "delayed graduation",
or "not good enough".

Just toughen it out and you'll be fine.

Yeah, you will make it.

Honestly, you guys make me even more nervous.

Finally, justice served. Back to reality now.

[Zhuang Xu,
Outstanding Academic Performance Award]

That's how it went.

I owe you an apology.

I didn't expect the staff to lie
just to dodge blame.

I hope it didn't cause you any trouble.

Zhuang Xu? Zhuang Xu?

It's fine.

Thanks for telling me, senior.

I made a late-night snack for Zhuang Fei.
You have some, too.

Okay.

If your father could see
how well you've done, he'd be at peace.

Zhuang Fei's taking the Gaokao this year.

Once it's over, my work will be half done.

Mom.

Thanks for all these years.

It's nothing.

I feel a real sense of achievement.

Now you've graduated from college,
and landed a good job,

it's time to think about settling down.

I think you should make it official
with Rong as soon as possible.

Just let me finish.

As the saying goes,
a good match requires equal standing.

You and Rong grew up together.

If her father and the elders
were still around,

I wouldn't have to say this.

About that interview,

you got Rong a phone
and told her to keep quiet at school.

I'm not saying it's outright wrong.

She's done our family a real favor
and we should pay that back.

But a gift with strings still stings,
even if only a little.

Mom.

Please stop.

Come in.

♫ A patch of heavy clouds above ♫

♫ That winding, twisting road we walk ♫

♫ Stopping and going countless times ♫

♫ Love feels less rushed that way ♫

♫ The rain from yesterday
has finally cleared ♫

♫ And today the sunshine
feels so warm and bright ♫

♫ I used to hide away in the corner ♫

♫ But now I long
to follow close behind you ♫

♫ How much longer
must I keep missing out? ♫

♫ When it's only you
who makes my heart race ♫

♫ I've rushed through the endless crowd ♫

♫ I'm holding your hand at this moment ♫

♫ Clutching tight, with tender arms ♫

♫ I just want to keep your gentle smile ♫

♫ I've made it past the endless trials ♫

♫ I'm gazing into your eyes
at this moment ♫

♫ No turning back
or fear of winter's chill ♫

♫ The sunlight shines like you ♫

♫ And like me ♫

♫ Dreams realized, broken and gone ♫

♫ Nothing more than a dream all along ♫

♫ Wake up to the bright lights
on the streets ♫

♫ I'm here by your side ♫

♫ The sky dimmed, deepened and died ♫

♫ Nothing more than some rain inside ♫

♫ Open the window
to boundless blue skies ♫

♫ Side by side, just you and I ♫

♫ Side by side, just you and I ♫
