Cartwheel

Here and there and gone again
此刻還四處奪彩轉瞬就全盡消匿
Firefly juice on your skin
你外露的光芒就是這般若隱若現
You're glowing like an atom bomb
你極為耀眼堪比原子彈爆炸那一幕
This natural thing that you've undone
這是與生俱來的你根本沒有刻意裝點自己
Outgrew older sister's clothes again
你把你姐姐的衣服又撐大了點
Won't admit you're growing tall and thin
但不容否認你變得又高又瘦
You like your body pulling at the seams
衣服被撐出多少裂口你都不在意
You're not prepared for what the future brings
面對未來你根本沒有頭緒
Curse words and empty cups
無盡的咒罵苦極的空虛
Cracked blacktop curling up
裂開的路終會被填補
Heatwave by midday
正午熱浪襲來
Heat lightning on a summer night
激起夏夜的雷電轟鳴
And I remember when you used to call
還記得你躲在大廳裡的隔間
Holed up in the closet in the hall
向我通電
Scared you wouldn 't live to 45
你說你害怕活不到四十五歲
The same age as your father when he died
這也是你父親逝世時的年齡
You'd say, 'We need to talk
你說“我們得談談
Sneak out, meet me on your block.'
快溜出來我們在你家那條街見”
I'd sit by you, silent on the curb
我會坐在你身旁靠著圍欄緘默不語
What to say when there is not a word?
當無言可說的時候靜默就是最好的
Spell broke at daybreak
等到破曉時分
Light another candle on the cake
再次點燃蛋糕上的蠟燭
Cartwheel and a broken wrist
翻個跟頭弄破了袖口
Skin scarred and sun-kissed
擦傷了皮膚擁抱陽光

When you told me 'bout your first time
當你跟我談起
A soccer player at the senior high
你和高中橄欖球隊員的第一次
I felt my body crumple to the floor—
我幾乎要癱倒在地了
Betrayal like I'd never felt before
你背叛了我第一次感到那麼痛苦
I thought back to many years ago
我以為很多年前
A late night promise on the telephone
你我在電話裡的保證
We'd build a house of twigs andvines
會永遠成為彼此堅守的誓言
Grow old together just to pass the time
你我一同老去空度著時光
Now there's only past and present day
如今留下的只有無盡的回憶與未定的現在
I can't believe a word you say
我再也不會相信你說的話了
The future isn't worth its weight in gold
未來或許不值得被期待
The future is a benevolent black hole
未來就是看似美好的黑洞
