If We Were Vampires

It's not the long flowing dress that you're in
这不是你穿的那条飘逸长裙
Or the light coming off of your skin
或者你皮肤散发的光芒
The fragile heart you protected for so long
你保护了许久的脆弱的心
Or the mercy in your sense of right and wrong
或者你对是非的怜悯
It's not your hands, searching slow in the dark
不是你的双手在黑暗中缓缓摸索
Or your nails leaving love's watermark
或者你的指甲留下爱情的水印
It's not the way you talk me off the roof
这不是你叫我离开屋顶的方式
Your questions like directions to the truth
你的问题像是指引真理的方向
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
我们都明白这一切不能永远继续下去
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
可能我们之间有一个人会不得不独自度过一段时间
Maybe we'll get forty years together
也许我们可以有相伴四十年
But one day I'll be gone or one day you'll be gone
但是总有一天我会离开，或者你会离开
If we were vampires and death was a joke
如果我们是吸血鬼，死亡对我们来说只是个玩笑
We'd go out on the sidewalk and smoke
我们走在人行道上抽烟
And laugh at all the lovers and their plans
嘲笑所有的恋人和他们对未来的打算
I wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand
我不必再抓紧每一秒去握住你的手
Maybe time running out is a gift
也许消耗殆尽的时间是一份礼物
I'll work hard 'til the end of my shift
我会努力工作，直到我的轮班结束
And give you every second I can find
然后每一秒都与你相伴
And hope it isn't me who's left behind
希望我是那个不被抛下的人
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
我们都明白这一切不能永远继续下去
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
可能我们之间有一个人会不得不独自度过一段时间
Maybe we'll get forty years together
也许我们可以相伴四十年
But one day I'll be gone or one day you'll be gone
但是总有一天我会离开，或者你会离开
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
我们都明白这一切不能永远继续下去
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
可能我们之间有一个人会不得不独自度过一段时间
Maybe we'll get forty years together
也许我们可以相伴四十年
But one day I'll be gone or one day you'll be gone
但是总有一天我会离开，或者，你会离开
