歌词
Okay, well I just woke up
好吧 我刚脱离梦魇
And you already don't care
而你早已不在乎
That I tried my best to hold you
我竭力想拥住你
Through the headset that you wear
穿越千里 透过你的耳机
And as tight as I might hold it
竭我所能紧紧地与它相连
Over where the signal's good
四处寻找信号良好的地方
There's no way to save your evening now
现在已经无从挽救你的此夜(二人的时差 暗示异地恋、单相思)
Through the little phone that could
唯有那个小电话 可以(引自美国民间故事<The Little Engine That Could> 故事中主人公做到了不可能的事 所想及所成;而这里与理想主义的童话故事不同 显然Isaac所面临的难题仅靠毅力是无法解决的)
And yes I was tempted
可能是吧 我中蛊了
And it christened me lonely, I pretended to falter
它令我愈发感到孤独 我假意轻松 你我都欢心
And I burnt scented candles there
我在那处点了根香蜡
And I hung some good pictures where
挂上记录有美好的旧照
Thе paintwork was perfect so no-one could doubt it
粉饰得相当完美 没人质疑
Oh, I was still losing
可 我依旧败了
So show mе the land you acquired
向我展示你的一切吧
And slip into something beside
我深陷于此
The holes you try to hide
而你却总在隐藏
And lay out your rules for the night
你指责你我共度夜晚中的点点滴滴
Oh, don't eat your toast in my bed
“别在我床上吃你的吐司”
Oh darling I
可 亲爱的
I never felt the crumbs until you said
我从未在意面包屑的存在 直到你说
"This place is not for any man
“这地方可不是随便一个男人就能涉足
Nor particles of bread"
更别说区区面包屑了”
Furnished your suffering
它们徒增你的痛苦
You played a good organ, the world gathered singing
你每每奏起风琴 世界为你伴唱
Good words that you'd stolen
听你偷学来的小情话
And every phone died then
手机信号罢工
And no-one had WiFi inside your apartment
公寓里也没有WIFI
So we knelt at your altar
我们跪坐在你的“圣殿”前 相视无言
Okay, well I just woke up
好吧 我刚醒来
And you already don't care
而你已抛下过往
That I tried my best to hold you
我竭力想挽留你
Through the headset that you wear
穿越千里 透过你的耳机
And as tight as I might hold
竭我所能紧紧地与它相连
Over where the signal's good
四处寻找信号良好的地方
There's no way to save your evening now
现在已经无从挽留你的今夜
And I'm ready for us to be understood
我准备好了 开诚布公 不再欺骗你 欺骗我
So show me the land you acquired
我想更多地领略你的天地
And slip into something beside
深陷与你相关的一切
The holes you try to hide
而你却总在隐藏
And lay out your rules for the night
你定下铁律
Oh, don't eat your toast in my bed
“别在我床上吃你的吐司”
Oh darling I
可 亲爱的
I never felt the crumbs until you said
我从未在意这面包屑的存在 直到你说
"This place is not for any man
“这地方可不是随便一个男人就能涉足
Nor particles of bread"
更别说区区面包屑了”
