Heartworms (Flipped)

Heartworms (Flipped) - The Shins

Written by：James Mercer
可能我的存在只是為了挑戰你的耐心

你是如此聰慧，我的小把戲毫無作用
Well I guess Im just here to test your patience
是我才疏學淺

快告訴我為何你從不來電
Cause youre so smart my tricks don't work at all
你並不如表面上那般如一

有人坐擁金礦，有人艱難匍匐
Is it my lack of education
無意冒犯，但在字裡行間
Just tell me why you never call
你也在尋找你的真愛
Behind your symmetry lies a fundamental difference
可你看我的眼神如此冷淡

這是真的
There are those who own the mines and those who crawl
那麼我能做些什麼

任何事物，只為得到你的一點愛
No offense but, in between the lines Im reading
我能做些什麼
You look out for your own
或許能用一首歌打動你

我該做些什麼
And you ain't gonna look at me that way
我正試著將傷害降至最低

因你獨一
And it's true
我找到了你去泰國旅行的明信片

我曾研習寫在你纖纖掌心的所有字句
So what can I do
那些彎直曲線是如此神聖
Anything to get some of your affection
或許只是我的一廂情願
What can I do
果然
Maybe impress you with a song
我努力想弄清你何時給我植入了這些相思之蟲
What can I do
我能感受到它們在我的血液裡蠕動，你使我痛不欲生
Im trying to minimize the damage done
如今我情願放下這種失落
Cause there aint no one like you
當你失去熱情

只把我當普通朋友
I found the postcard from that trip you took to Thailand
事實如此

那麼我能做些什麼
I remember studyin all the words written in your pretty hand
你甚至不願多停留一刻
The little lines and little curves that held a sacred meaning
我該做些什麼
Or so I thought
能讓感情的一羽進入你的心

我要做些什麼
But I had it wrong
我試著把傷害降至最低
Now Im trying to figure out when it was you gave me these heartworms
你世上無二
I feel them wriggling in my blood you gonna do me harm
我到底要做什麼
Right now Id rather lose this losing feeling that came on
當我孤獨落魄
When you cooled off
我能做些什麼
Started treating me in this friendly way
或許一首真摯的歌能夠打動你

我該做些什麼
And its true
沒有坦途可走

你是我最悲傷的真實一夢
So what can I do
Oh wont you be still for a moment
What can I do
So I can push a feather through your heart
What can I do
Im trying to minimize damage done
Cause there aint no one like you

So what can I do

When I get lonely to distraction
What can I do
Maybe impress you with a song
What can I do
No easy way around it
Youre the saddest dream that ever came true
