Islands - Sara Bareilles
两座岛

贝儿
Waiting for the bus stop
其实知道车子迟早停在某站
Waiting for the concrete black top to settle down
暗自等那沉重消息慢慢降临
Long enough for me to get off and get a little ground
慢到终于还没全崩溃
I’m ready for the sea change
涨潮了，我已准备好
Helpless felt this coming from a mile away
远远就听得到潮水，无计可施
And now you’re looking at me babe,
而现在你望向我，我爱的人啊
and how we’ll separate if we can
可我们要怎么分开，怎么会分开
Cause I still count on one hand
因为我知道世上好人不多
the number of good men I know
而你依然是其中之一
.
It’s like I’m standing on the edge
如同站在世界的边缘
with just a telephone wire
握紧仅有的电话线
Trying to get to you first to say the world’s on fire
想第一个告诉你，世界着火了
Holding my breath until I know
不敢呼吸，直到知道
you’re alright because the water will only rise
你没事的，因为潮水只会上涨
When will you realize
你要如何才懂得
You must become an island
你要站成一座岛啊
You must become an island
你要站成一座岛啊
You must become an island
你要站成一座岛啊
And see for yourself that that’s what I am
你看，我正这样地站着啊
.
You always dirty up the windows
每当低落失意
If you keep ‘em at bay
你便糊起你的窗子
that way no one’s gonna surprise
只为不愿有人靠近
you by getting too close
看到你的内心
Anybody but me though
只有我是例外
You’ve made exceptions to you rules
你曾为我打破戒律
And now we’re staring down
如今望着这一切
truth neither one of us wants to know
这你我都不愿知道的真相
.
It’s like I’m standing on the edge
如同站在世界边缘
with just a telephone wire
握紧仅有的电话线
Trying to get to you first
想第一个告诉你
to say the world’s on fire
世界着火了
Holding my breath until I know
不敢呼吸，直到知道
you’re alright because the water will only rise
你没事的，因为潮水只会不停上涨
When will you realize
你要如何才明白
You must become an island
你要站成一座岛啊
You must become an island
你要站成一座岛啊
You must become an island
你要站成一座岛啊
And see for yourself the horizon is all we have
你看，我们只有地平线了
The horizon is all we have
只有地平线可以作证了
.
Holding my breath until I know
不敢呼吸，直到知道
you’re alright because the water will only rise…
你没事的，因为潮水只会上涨，上涨
