As It Is When It Was

I've kept my head against the wall
我把頭靠在牆上
I've been this way for so long now
像這樣保持了很久
You weren't exactly falling over yourself
你並非全心全意
When last I saw you
我上次見到你時
Well I always thought
就一直在想：
We'd get along like a house on fire
我們是否會一見如故
Until you told me that
直到你告訴我：
I'd have to go
“我得走了”
How can someone like you, work that slow?
要是有人愛上你怎會這般怠慢？
Whatever you think of me
無論你怎樣看待我
You listen hard and
聽好了：
I will make you see
“我會讓你回心轉意”
Whatever you think of me
無論你怎麼看待我
You listen hard and
聽好了：
I will make you see
“我會讓你回心轉意”
I don't feel anything no more
我開始變得麻木
This state of grace is consuming me
這寬仁的姿態正在透支我
I'm not grown up and
任性而不青澀
I am not a boy
年長而不穩重
I feel no pain and
我感受不到痛苦
I feel no joy
也感受不到愉悅
Well, I always thought
好吧我一直在想
We'd get along like a house on fire
“我們是否會一見如故，
In those days when the sun was warm
在風和日煦的時光裡。”
I ran in the street where I was born
我曾冒雨狂奔在家鄉小徑上
Whatever you think of me
無論你怎麼看待我
You listen hard and
聽好了：
I will make you see
“我會讓你回心轉意”
Whatever you think of me
無論你怎麼看待我
You listen hard and
聽好了：
I will make you see
“我會讓你回心轉意”

此刻夜里街道如此淒清
The streets are so empty at this time of night
比起爭吵我寧願獨自漫步
I'd rather walk on my own than fight
去往一個將你忘懷的地方
In a world where I 'd forgotten you
同時把自己丟入虛無
I found myself forgotten, too
這就是深信書本的危害
That's the danger of believing books
小偷和騙子撒下的所有謊言
And all the lies of those thieves and crooks
我們唱著知性的情歌
We sing intellectual songs of love
從一貧如洗到外柔內剛
From a stolen pen to a velvet glove
