歌词
When I was young there was fire in my lungs
我年轻时心中燃着一把火
And I just wanted someone to listen
我只是想找人倾诉
Some ears to ignite with my pen and my tongue
那些聆听的耳朵是我滔滔不绝的力量源泉
Oh I knew it was all just a wish
哦我知道这一切只是幻想
But that don't mean it couldn't exist
但不意味着它永远不会出现
Just seventeen, yeah, I gave up my gun
十七岁，我放下了枪杆
To play this guitar in the trenches
去战地演奏吉他
To sing in the face of a man-eating sun
无所畏惧地去对着灼目太阳歌唱
That Florida heat is a *****
佛罗里达热的不像话
But I wouldn't trade nothing for it
但我别无他求
When I was young
当我风华正茂
When I was young
当我青春年少
I got myself broke and beat down, busted up
我却堕落自我
Left too many words on the tip of my tongue
多少话凝噎在喉
But oh, I was singing at the top of my lungs
但是我在心中大胆歌唱
Every night
每个不眠夜
Spinning wheels turning, I fell into love
时间车轮不停翻滚，我突然坠入爱河
Swallowed up in a sea of forgiveness
徜徉在原谅的海洋
I've got a crooked killer heart, I've got bastard blood
我终究有了一颗变态杀手的心灵，我的血液也不再干净
But my God, oh, my God, I forgive
但是上帝啊，我终是释怀了
That you keep on paying for these second hand sins
你一直让我去赎罪
When I was young
当我风华正茂
When I was young
当我青春年少
I was hiding in corners to stay out of sight
我独自躲在暗角只为避开冷漠的目光
Giving my best but still falling behind
我竭尽全力却仍是铩羽而归
But I was reborn in the dust and the pines
但我在尘埃之中获得重生
Oh, my
哦我的
When I was young
当我风华正茂
Oh, and now I'm getting pushed and pulled apart
当我青春年少
And I don't know where it ends or where it starts
我不知何地启程何地安家
And all of those neon lights
所有夺目的霓虹灯
Outside of my window
都在我的窗户之外（与我无关）
Tell me it's not 11 yet
告诉我这不再是11年了
It's getting close though
尽管已经在靠近了
And now I just don't know what to do
我只是不知所措
Then I said Matt, you just gotta get back
我说Matt啊，你只是快回到
To those nights where you sat on the causeway
那些你坐在长堤上的夜晚了
All you had was six strings and a heart that beat
你有一把吉他还有一个炽热的心
And you knew that it had to mean something
你知道你一定会干出大事业
Yeah you knew that it had to mean something
是的你那时一定充满希冀
I just knew it was better than nothing
我只是明白那比什么都没有好
When I was young
当我风华正茂
When I was young
当我青春年少
I played rock and roll music on broken guitars
我用那破碎的吉他演奏摇滚音乐
Spent the whole night laying out under stars
整晚躺在漫天星空之下
She told me she loved me with her hand on her heart
她说她用心爱我
Now I'm turning these pages and holding on tight
现在一切都翻篇了
Living this life like I'm never gonna die
好像我会长生不老
Living this life like I'm never gonna die
好像我仍旧年少
Living this life like I'm never gonna die, die, die
当我风华正茂
When I was young
当我青春年少
