Future Kids

When I was a kid, I made a book
孩提時代，我做了本冊子
Planning out how my future would look
寫滿了對於未來的展望
I drew in pictures of houses with views
我畫出被花朵團簇的房子
Two swings in the backyard, one pink and one blue
後院裡的兩個鞦韆，一粉一藍

現在時過境遷，我希望我能夠見到
Now that Im older I wish I could see
一個仍能將我包容的新世界
A world where that still made sense to me
只因若是我未來的孩子們仍會同我一樣

他們會不眠不休
Cause if my future kids end up like me
他們會憧憬起燦爛的未來
They wont get to sleep earlier than three
做著些白日夢想，幼稚可笑
Theyll be thinking bout how they can be
叛逆的將我所曾珍視的一切品質拋棄
Better than they are, taking it too far
可我覺得或許我見不到這一天
Trying to change the things I love the most about them
為他們起名之時，我也一樣懵懂無知
And I dont think I could ever stand to see that happen, no
然後孜孜不倦的將它們寫滿了每一頁

只因我不知何時我會開始自厭
I was too young when I picked out their names
在心裡將自己的一切看的一文不值
And wrote them at the top of every page
我希望他們永遠無法看見
Cause I dont know I would grow up to hate
未來的他們將走著與我相同的路
The way that I look in my size and my shape
只因若是我未來的孩子們仍會同我一樣

他們會不眠不休
I wish I could make sure that they never see
他們會憧憬起燦爛的未來
Themselves in the same way that I see me
做著些白日夢想，幼稚可笑

叛逆的將我所曾珍視的一切品質拋棄
Cause if my future kids end up like me
可我覺得或許我見不到這一天
They wont get to sleep earlier than three
我會將這本書秘密藏起
Theyll be thinking bout how they can be
只因我還未準備好將它拋棄
Better than they are, taking it too far
只因若是我未來的孩子們仍會同我一樣
Trying to change the things I love the most about them
他們會不眠不休
And I dont think I could ever stand to see that happen, no
他們會憧憬起燦爛的未來

做著些白日夢想，幼稚可笑
Ill keep the book in a safe place
叛逆的將我所曾珍視的一切品質拋棄
Cause Im not quite ready to throw it away
可我覺得或許我見不到這一天

Cause if my future kids end up like me
They wont get to sleep earlier than three
Theyll be thinking bout how they can be
Better than they are, taking it too far
Trying to change the things I love the most about them
And I dont think I could ever stand to see that happen, no
