歌词
Pete is a young man
男青年Pete
Heart full of rain
心里乌云密布
Eyes full of evenings
眼里不见日光
Spent in a dream
沉溺梦中
Grew up in a city where you master your pain
在那个可以由自己掌控疼痛的城市长大
Or you end up numb, not feeling
是麻木了吧，没感觉了
Becky is a young woman
女青年Becky
Heart full of earth
心里在意所有
Eyes full of mornings
眼里充满希望
Spent without sleeping
辛勤工作
Grew up in a city where it’s hard to be heard
在那个不知名的小城长大
And nothing really has much meaning
发生的事都微不足道
Pete had his heart broke once
Pete心碎过一次
He never fixed it
至今没好
Sits there in his chest
郁结胸腔
With his arms crossed, screwing
充满防备地抱着双臂
Becky had her heart broke twice
Becky心碎过两次
She won’t risk it again
她不会再冒险了
She don’t wanna see her heart get ruined
不想再看到自己的心被揉碎
And now she’s on her way
现在她按自己的方式来活
To wash up and take the orders
洗洗刷刷，为客人点单
For spaghetti
在转角的那家
At Giuseppe’s
朱塞佩餐厅
The café on the corner
帮人点意大利面
She did the night shift too
晚上她也打工
A masseuse at the sauna
在桑拿室帮别人按摩
She’s putting herself through uni
她让自己连轴转忙起来
It’s hard work
辛苦工作
But will it be this way forever?
难道永远都是这样吗？
These are lonely days
这样孤单度日
What if she could be the one that makes it better?
“万一她就是那个能让一切都变好的人呢？”
He looks away, can’t hold her gaze
Pete看着Becky想到
But will it be this way forever?
他看向别处，承受不住她的目光
These are stressful times
难道永远都是这样吗？
What if he could be the one that gets her?
这样压抑度日
She looks away, she’s petrified
“万一他就是那个能懂我的人呢？”
‘Now, have you thought about retail?’
Becky看着Pete想到
‘Yes, fine with me’
她把目光移开，被自己的想法吓到了
‘Oh and I can see here that you have a degree’
“喂，你有想过做销售什么的吗？”
‘Yes,’ says Pete, ‘in International Relations.’
“嗯，我觉得很好啊。”
‘Great
“对啊，你看起来就像是学过这方面的人。”
Let’s see if Primark has space for a placement.’
“是的,” Pete说，“我以前学国际关系的。”
Becky clears up from the lunch rush Crushed
“是吗。
By the blank eyes
可以问一下普里马科招不招人。“
Impolite customers thrusting
Becky在午餐高峰后把店里收拾干净
Their damp fives
那些空洞的眼神让她受不了
Into her palms, she thinks
没礼貌的客人
'There ain’t no harm in being civil though, Is there?'
急匆匆地把手指都伸进盘子里去了
He folds up his job form
“文明点也不会掉块肉吧？”
Gets up from his chair
她心想
The next person sits down with a similar air
他把工作报表合起来
Of dejection
站起身
He walks out, heads in the direction
刚坐下来的那个人心情和他一样
Of the café on the corner
多少有些沮丧
For a coffee and some headroom
他走出门
This guy comes in
往转角那间餐厅走去
The first customer to close the door behind him For that alone she likes him
想去那要杯咖啡，透透气
He sits at the table by the window
他走进餐厅
Reading, half smiling
前面的那位客人刚好把门带上
His hair’s messy and his eyes are shining
就这么一瞬间她喜欢上他了
Can’t think what to say, he just stares blankly
他坐在靠窗的位子
Picks up his change, fiddles with his spoon
似笑非笑，看着书
And as he leaves the café he’s consumed
头发乱糟糟的，眼睛却亮晶晶
With thoughts of her
不知道该说些什么，他就在那发呆
Wishing that he’d got up the guts
他收起零钱，摆弄着勺子
To try and talk to her
当他离开餐厅的时候
Will it be this way forever?
满脑子都是她
These are lonely days
他希望自己有那个胆量
What if she could be the one that makes it better?
可以上前跟她搭话
He looks away, can’t hold her gaze
难道永远都是这样？
And will it be this way forever?
这样孤单度日
These are stressful times
“如果她就是那个可以让一切都更好的人呢”
What if he could be the one that gets her?
他看向别处，承受不住她的目光
She looks away, she’s petrified
永远都是这样吗？
It’s Becky’s mate’s birthday
这样压抑度日
They’re out for the night
“如果他就是那个能懂我的人呢？”
Now, Becky’s mate is the nightmare type
她移开目光，被自己的想法吓一跳
She’d flirt with anyone
今天是Becky伴侣的生日
Scream at the top of her voice
他们今晚在外面玩
But it’s her birthday so Becky
现在Becky已经完全不喜欢这个人了
Don’t really have a choice
她可以随意和别人调情
He sees her in the queue
故意大声调笑
He doesn’t know what to do
但今天毕竟是她生日
She’s more beautiful than he remembers
所以Becky也没什么办法
Then she says
他在排队时看到她
‘Alright?’
不知道自己应该在怎么办
And he tries to say something funny
她比印象中还要漂亮
But stutters
她说：
And now he feels like a muppet and blushes (No, No, No)
“是吗？”
Inside it’s the usual scene
他想说些好玩的事
They’re dancing at the bar, waiting to get served
但是磕磕巴巴
Becky’s mate’s screaming about something absurd
他觉得自己现在很蠢
And they’re all fake laughing
全身僵硬，脸都红了
Even though nobody heard a word
酒吧里面跟往常一样
So now he’s hunting around the room
人们跳着舞，等着自己的酒
Staring into every booth
Becky的伴侣在大声说着滑稽的事
The back of every head could be hers
哪怕谁也听不清在说什么
It’s no use
大家还是附和着假笑
He stops by the bar, thinking
他的眼光一直在寻找
'Man, I’ll never find her'
一个一个卡座地看
And then he realises that he’s standing beside her
每个后脑勺看起来都像她
He stands there awkward
这样找要找到什么时候
His eyes are as loud as the bass
他在吧台边停下，心想：
And she can recognise something in his face
“天啊，我找不到她了。“
She scribbles down her number
突然他发现自己就站在她旁边
Lingering glance
他不自然地站在那
And lets herself think
眼光炙热
Maybe this could be her chance
她从他脸上也读懂了些什么
Will it be this way forever?
她快速写下自己的号码
These are lonely days
深深看了一眼
What if she could be the one that makes it better?
放任自己去思考
He looks away, can’t hold her gaze
也许这是自己的机会啊
And will it be this way forever?
难道要永远这样吗？
These are stressful times
这样孤单度日
What if he could be the one that gets her?
如果她就是那个能让一切更好的人呢？
She looks away, she’s petrified
他看向别处，承受不住她的目光
Will it be this way forever?
永远都像这样吗？
These are lonely days
这样压抑度日
What if she could be the one that makes it better?
如果他就是那个能懂她的人呢？
He looks away, can’t hold her gaze
她把目光移开，被自己的想法吓一跳
And will it be this way forever?
难道要永远这样吗？
These are stressful times
这样孤单度日
What if he could be the one that gets her?
万一她就是那个能让一切更好的人呢？
She looks away, she’s petrified
他看向别处，承受不住她的目光
