A Thousand Matches

歌词
Lying on themattress 'cause my friend's crazy sister took my bed away
我屈身床垫,因为我朋友那疯狂的姊妹占了我的床
Sleeping, she looked like an actress, a theory I didn't practice, I said "There's got to be a better way"
她的睡貌颇像个演员,突发奇想之际,我说:“总会有更好的办法的。”
She said: "You light a thousand matches when you finally set fire when you run away
她说:“你点燃一千根火柴后,火势蔓蔓,你当然得走了。”
So why'd you go and do it when you knew that you would go and I would stay"
既然你知道你要走而我要留,那你为何不果断点行事呢?
I hit the wall in frustration, the conversation had been circling for days
我懊然捶墙,而这对话在我脑海挥之不去
She said: "Don't take it out on him, for the wall has always been supportive in the best of ways"
她说:“可别拿墙出气,它已经尽它能力表示支持了。”
We're laughing and crying like mad men dying in the snow
我们又哭又笑,活像两个被雪冻死的疯子
For just one second it was funny that she would have to stay and I would go
有那么一刻,我觉得她留我走这想法很荒诞可笑
And I said "I love you know I love you so, when you love someone well you've got to let them know."
我说:“很庆幸你知道我喜欢你,喜欢一个人就得让他知道嘛。”
She said "Nothing's changed I love you the same, but when you love someone sometimes you gotta let them go."
她说:“一切都没变啊,我也依旧爱你。只是有时候啊,有一种爱叫做放手。”
She handed me a stone in the perfect shape of a heart
她给我一块心形的石头
She said "I'm gonna take this home for I know you'll only lose it somewhere after dark
她说:“我得把这个带回家,我知道到了晚上你就不知道把它丢哪去了。”
'Cause some faces so terribly seem to lose everything you own."
“因为,凡事看得太重,可能会让你一无所有。”
She didn't mean it how it sounded, what she meant was she would stay and I would go
她有些言不达意,她想说的,不过是她会留下,而我要离去。
And I said "I love you know I love you so, when you love someone well you've got to let them know"
我说:“很庆幸你知道我喜欢你,喜欢一个人就得让他知道嘛。”
She said "Nothing's changed I love you the same, but when you love someone sometimes you gotta let them go"
她说:“一切都没变啊,我也依旧爱你。只是有时候啊,有一种爱叫做放手。”
Sometimes you tear it all apart, to see the wood from the trees
有些时候,不去尽数砍伐,又怎么看得到林木里内有乾坤
Sometimes you break your own heart to set yourself free
有些时候,不去狠心自伤,又怎么明白到退一步海阔天空
I walked her to the station, hesitation in our movements and our tongue
我和她一路走到车站,步态踌躇,欲说还休
Words finally left after realizing how uncomfortable they've grown
总算吐出三言两语,却发现尴尬不已
What you want and what you need, well they seldomly succeed to grow
一个人的期望和索求,大抵也不过如此了
We reluctantly agreed that when you love someone, you've got to let them go
最后,我们勉强说定了:
