歌词
Couldn't wait to ride out of that one horse town
迫不及待想逃离这乡镇，出去闯荡一番
Didn't see no use in sticking around
因为继续呆在乡里注定没出息
I was green and busting at the seems to leave
毕竟仍是少年，对于离别还是会惴惴不安
I was sitting on G,waiting on O
少年心气，志怀意满，得陇望蜀
The day I hit eighteen,I hit the road
18岁的第一天，踏上征程的第一天
Traded that county maintain for a four lane city street
在城市的大道中穿梭，疲于奔命
But sometimes things ain't what you think they're gonna be
才懂得了，有时候事会与愿违
What you want ain't always what you need
所愿往往非吾所需
Don't know what you got 'til it's gone
待失去方知曾所得
And you're out on your own
现在你逃离了家乡，你一个人自由了
And you want is what you can't get back
却又想回到过去平静悠闲的生活，却已回不去了
Once you let it go, then you know what you had
只有等到失去时，才明白曾经到底拥有过什么
Don't hole a candle to what you had
繁复的城市根本比不上宁静的家乡
Sometimes what you think you'll find
有时候,你认为你将会找寻到的
It ain't quite what real life has in store
可能并不存在于真实的生活中
So be careful what you wish for
所以三思所愿，以免徒增遗憾
She was holding on just a little too tight
她过去太过坚持以至于有点偏执
Talked a little too much about the rest of our lives
过多地谈论我俩的未来，让我厌烦
I broke her heart thinking freedom would set me free
所以我选择了离开她以获取自由，还天真地以为这种自由会让我内心解脱
Well sometimes things ain't what you think they're gonna be
可是有时事与愿违，我并没有得到想象中解脱的感觉
Don't know what you got 'til it's gone
待失去方知曾所得，现在我好想她
And you're out on your own
现在我逃离她的碎碎念了，我一个人自由了
All you want is what you can't get back
可是现在自由的我是多么渴望她的束缚
Once you let it go, then you know what you had
只有等到失去时，才明白曾经到底拥有过什么
Don't hole a candle to what you had
现在的生活完全无法和有她的生活争辉
Sometimes what you think you'll find
有时候你所追求所执着的
It ain't quite what real life has in store
并不等于生活啊
So be careful what you wish for
所以三思所愿，以免徒增遗憾
'Cause these city lights can't shine quite like the stars
因为城市的霓虹可能并不如乡村的星空耀眼
I wish I could wish her back into my arms
哎，我是多希望能再抱抱她
Don't know what you got 'til it's gone
待失去方知曾所得
And you're out on your own
我逃离她的紧箍咒了，我一个人自由了
All you want is what you can't get back
蓦然回首，却再也无法挽回她了
Once you let it go, then you know what you had
只有等到失去时，才明白曾经到底拥有过什么
Don't hole a candle to what you had
现在的生活完全无法和有她的生活争辉
Sometimes what you think you'll find
有时候，你闷头往前追寻的东西
It ain't quite what real life has in store
可能并不是真正的生活啊
And you can't get her back no more
悟已往之不谏
So be careful what you wish for
愿你们能三思来者可追之事
Be careful what you wish for
三思来者可追之事
