Let me tell you a story
让我向你讲述一个故事
About a boy and a girl

It’s kinda short kinda boring
这个故事有点短,有点无聊
But the end is a whirl
故事的结尾令人感到无比唏嘘
They were just 16
那时,他们才16岁
When the people were mean
人们都尖酸刻薄,无比自私
So they didn’t love themselves
他们不懂得自爱
And now they’re gone
他们已经入土为安
Headstones on a lawn
变成了草坪上的墓碑
When I was younger
当我还年轻气盛,朝气蓬勃之时
I knew a boy and a boy
我认识两个男孩,他们相互喜欢,这份爱却又难以启齿
Best friends with each other
对互相而言,他们都是挚友
But always wished they were more
他们总是希望互相付出的更多
‘Cause they loved one another
爱意表达的更加明显
But never discovered ‘cause they were too afraid
爱在心头口难开
Of what they’d say
当爱说出口时,已经太迟
Moved to different states
所以,我搬到了其他的州(2017年9月,柯灰从德克萨斯州乔治敦搬到加利福尼亚州,在那里他被加州大学洛杉矶分校录取)
Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works
恐怕这就是这个世界运行的方式
It ain’t funny, it ain’t pretty, it ain’t sweet
缺少趣味,不太美丽,也不甜蜜
Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works

But I think that it could work for you and me

Just wait and see

Both our parents were evil

So we both made a bet

If we worked and we saved
若我们努力学习,努力工作
We could both run away
我们便可以独立生活,逃离这严加管教的家中
And we’d have a better life
我们也会过上好生活
And I was right
没错,我做了一个正确的抉择
I wonder if she’s alright
