一直传唱的有两个版本，一个是手岛葵的，一个是西城男孩的。一个版本清澈动人，一个版本沧桑心痛。
个人非常喜欢一首歌，开始是听得手岛葵的版本，如一股清风沁入心脾直抵灵魂，像一个女孩来自心底的生生呼唤。后来听到西城的版本，一发不可收拾的就爱上了，给我的感觉更像是一个男孩像一个男人蜕变的辛酸过程。
下面是歌词。
some say love it is a river
有人说爱 是一条河
that drowns the tender reed
淹没了轻柔的芦苇
some say love it is a razor
有人说爱是一把剃刀
that leaves your soul to bleed
让你的灵魂支离破碎
some say love it is a hunger
有人说爱是一种渴望
an endless aching need
永无止境的渴求
i say love it is a flower
而我说爱是一朵花
and you it's only seed
而你则是唯一的种子

it's the heart afraid of breaking

that never learns to dance

it's the dream afraid of waking
如果美梦害怕醒来
that never takes the chance

it's the one who won't be taken
如果你不愿付出
who can not seem to give

when the night has been too lonely
