歌词
I'm sittin' in this cafe,
我坐在这家咖啡馆里
People talkin' so loud I can't hear myself think.
人声鼎沸 以至于我不能沉浸在自己的思想中
That's not a bad thing.
这并不是一件糟糕的事
The coffee keeps on coming,
咖啡不断续上
The waiter who keeps smilin' as I'm ridin' on a river of caffeine,
服务员微笑对着我 就好像我在咖啡因之河沉醉
An' that's not a bad thing.
这并不是一件糟糕的事
我曾为像我这样的人感到难过
I used to feel sorry for someone like me,
在周五晚上缩在角落里假装看书
In a corner booth pretendin' to read on a Friday night.
我过去常说 不是这样的
I used to say: "It just ain't right."
没有某人 没有那个特别的人
How could anybody ever have any fun,
岂会有人能开心愉快 生活充满乐趣
Without somebody, without someone?
我从未恍悟
It never dawned on me,
这是可能的
The possibility,
这并不是一件糟糕的事
That it's not a bad thing.
你在我的脑海中挥之不去
今夜没有你 我是怎样独自离开
Those naggin' thoughts about you,
你知道 这样的事寥寥无几
How I left without you tonight:
那个叫乔伊的服务员告诉我
You know, they're few and far between.
也是那时我注意到他没有戴戒指
The waiter's name is Joey, he told me,
这并不是一件糟糕的事
And that's when I noticed he ain't wearing any ring.
我的内心不断挣扎拉扯
An' that's not a bad thing.
你的声音再次响起 难道你不放开我吗
但我并没有听
And there is a tug on the edge of my heart,
在我的生命中 只有这一次我切身感受到这种渴望
It's you again sayin': "Don't you start lettin' go of me."
让它成为 让它成为现实吧
But I ain't listenin'.
让它流经我
For once in my life, I'll feel what I feel,
把我洗涤得焕然一新
Let it be, let it be real.
这并不是一件糟糕的事
Let it flow through me,
开车回家时 我一直在想
An' wash me clean.
最糟糕的事可能已经结束
That's not a bad thing.
或者也许我有点天真
但街灯似乎更明亮了
As I'm drivin' home, I'm thinkin',
当我走到门口
The worst might be over,
转动钥匙打开房门 适才发现我独自一人
Or maybe I'm a little bit naive.
这并不是一件糟糕的事
But the street lights seem brighter,
我曾为像我这样的人感到难过
As I walk to my front door,
在周五晚上缩在角落里假装看书
And I'm all alone when I turn the key.
我过去常说 不是这样的
An' that's not a bad thing.
没有某人 没有那个特别的人
岂会有人能开心愉快 生活充满乐趣
I used to feel sorry for someone like me,
我从未恍悟
In a corner booth pretendin' to read on a Friday night.
这是可能的
I used to say: "It just ain't right."
这并不是一件糟糕的事
How could anybody ever have any fun,
Without somebody, without someone?
It never dawned on me,
The possibility,
That it's not a bad thing.
