歌词
制作人 : Ben Cooper
在夜晚中的花园里
Evening in the garden
围绕着萤火虫
Surrounded by fireflies
我们才刚刚搬进这所房子
We'd only just moved in
我用独自阅读来消磨时光
I spent my time alone there reading
每天种下一棵植物
and planted one thing a day
在挖开泥土的时候
While shoveling the yard
我的铲子碰到了一个金属盒子
my spade hit a metal box
那里面是一本日记
And in it was a diary
封面陈旧而破损
The cover old and frayed
里面记着“我不知道我还剩下多少时间”
It said "I don't know how much time I have
“但我想我们从来没有真正想过这些”
but I guess we never really do
“我以为我会很害怕”
I thought that I would be terrified
“但更糟糕的是 看着他们面对我的离去”
but it's worse to watch them watch me
“有的时候 我希望我们的生活更简单些”
Sometimes I wish our lives were simpler
“希望我们不要再食不果腹”
that we never had to stretch the food
“希望这里的人们善待我的哥哥”
That people here would treat my brother well
“这样他也会知道 他其实很好”
and that he would know he's good"
我将日记的每一页排列好
I laid out all those pages
在书房里把它们打印出来
and in my study typed them up
很难说出它们在这里放了多长时间
It was tough to say how old they were
我想 至少有…年了
I guess... years at least
写下这些语句的那个男孩
The boy who wrote these words
有着怪异而复杂的想法
Was an odd and complicated mind
但他超越年龄的智慧
But wisdom's often heavier
往往更加沉重
When found before its time
他说“我们都被困在了轮回之中
He said "We all get stuck in circles
但没有事情会完美的进行下去”
but nothing moves in perfect lines
“我们所见的事物之间埋藏着联系
Connections underly the things we see
但我们对那些细微的差别视而不见”
But to nuances we're blind
“我从来都不是独一无二的
And I am never singular
我们成对出生 却只能独自前行”
I was born a pair to walk alone
“另一个我”的身上 有着我没有的东西
My mirror shows the things im not
但那使我有了归属于家的感觉”
But it helps me feel at home"
