Can You Do Me a Kindness?

歌词
I don't go outside as much as I used to
我不再像以前那样经常出门
I'm not home, just in my house forgetting myself or at least trying to
我也不在家里,只是呆在我的房子里把自己遗忘或者说我至少在尝试这么做
But not forgiving unti l come back out
但我始终无法原谅自己直到我能找到自我
I have a light on in my room
我在自己的房间里留了一盏灯
During the day I hardly notice it
在白天我几乎不会注意到它
But at night it keeps me from falling asleep
但到了夜晚它却阻止我入睡
I have this dream of knowing you
我做了这样的梦,在梦里我们相识
During the day I hardly notice it
在白天我几乎不会注意到它
But at night it keeps me from all other dreams
但到了夜晚它却阻止我进入所有其他的梦境
The numbing of time taught me how to finally fall asleep
随着时间的流逝我怕日渐麻木,也最终学会了如何入睡
I just wish you'd come home and teach me how to wake back up
我只是希望你能回来,希望你教我如何才能清醒过来
This is torture, this is truth, this is unfamiliar pain
这是折磨,是真相,是陌生的痛苦
This is following an ache but this is love
是随之而来的疼痛,但这也是爱
There's a railroad track behind my house
在我的房子后面有一条铁路
At night I can hear freight being taken to retail
在晚上我能听见货物经过那儿被送去零售
But I'm still not sold on letting myself out
但我仍然无法说服自己走出家门
I never knew it was cold until I knew how the heat felt
我从未觉得寒冷直到我感受到了什么叫做温暖
You were always warm when put in warm place
当你身处温暖之地时,你自己也总是温暖的
But I was too shallow to contain the same flame
但我过于浅薄以至于无法去接纳相同的火焰
There's a nicotine patch on my night stand
我的床头柜上有一张尼古丁贴片(一种香烟的替代品)
You never did quit but at least you tried
你从未戒过烟但至少你尝试去这么做了
Or maybe you did but I never saw you lift a cigarette to your lips
又或许你戒过烟但我从未看见香烟离开过你的嘴唇
I was preoccupied looking into my reflection and the way you said you felt alive
我曾全神贯注地去审视自己,去思考那种让你感受到还活着的生存方法
Your infection inflects the walls each night
每到夜晚你投下的阴影就投射到我四周的墙上
And the shades of color are all black and white
而这些阴影的颜色只有黑和白
Just like your goodbye
就像你的离开
You said to stop letting your love consume my mind
你说你不想再让你的爱侵蚀我的心
I never did quit but at least you tried
我从未离开过但至少你尝试着这么做过
I don't go outside as much as I used to
我不再像以前那样经常出门
I'm not home, I'm just trying to sleep at night
我不在家里,只是努力地让自己能在夜晚入睡
Forgetting your love or at least trying to
忘掉你的爱或至少尽力去遗忘
You said goodbye, now just say goodnight
你已经离开了,事到如今我只能说”晚安“
