歌词
you carved our initials
你把我们最初的形貌
into these family trees.
刻进家族的树
but when the branches are bare and broken,
而当叶落枝折
love is so hard to reach.
爱遥不可及
we've learned to brace for the worst
我们学会如何为最糟的未来做打算
and to read the last pages first,
学会读书要先读最后一页
surrender feels safe.
学会退一步海阔天空
maybe the soul is the soil that holds the fallen seed,
也许灵魂是接承种子的土壤
or the light pouring down in between the rain clouds,
或是雨云的缝隙间透下的光
daring life to reach;
使生命敢于抵达
or maybe it's the rings in the trunk of the tree,
或是树干的年轮
a birthmark time will leave
是时间留下的胎记
to measure the past.
用以丈量过往
but we can't dream when we're wide awake
当我们清醒时无法沉溺梦境
or fall in love with a heart too strong to break.
亦无法与刀枪不入的心灵相爱
faith is expensive to taste,
信仰何其昂贵
and time is borrowed loose change
时间是转借松脱的改变
that's already been spent.
已被挥霍殆尽
maybe the soul is the tone of voice
也许灵魂是你的音调
that unearthed the words that we needed...
发掘我们所需的话语
maybe the soul is a suitcase that holds the backup plan -
也许灵魂是装着后备计划的手提箱
a collection of keys and the patience we need
是一串钥匙 一串耐心
to start again.
让我们能从头开始
maybe it's the thresholds that swallow us whole
或许它是生吞我们的门槛
as we learn to let go,
尽管我们试图洒脱
in spite of the dirt on our clothes.
尽管我们衣衫染尘
