Poetry by Dead Men

By the time you hear this, I'll be in the rearview mirror
當你聽到這首歌時我已經遠去
I'll even wear that green dress you like so when I disappear
我會穿著你喜歡的綠裙子在我消失的時候
You can turn around, one last look at the girl you lost in time
你可以轉過身來最後看一眼你失去的這個女孩
Your turn to make up your mind between the two roads
你已下定決心做出了選擇
Go and take some more time, but me and mine must go
你可以繼續等待但我必須上路了
I tried to wait it out, no more
我試過靜靜等待但我等不下去了
Can't find the man I was waiting for
始終找不到我等待的那個男人
I wanted to be your girl in a white T-shirt
我曾想要做你的女孩穿著白色T-shirt
Over coffee, stirring in the cinnamon
喝著加肉桂粉的咖啡
While you read me poetry by dead men
而你為我朗讀已故之人的詩歌
I wanted to be your girl with your hands on my skin
我曾想要做你的女孩和你緊緊相擁
Stirring in the cinnamon
攪拌著肉桂粉

Singing 'bout another near-miss love that ended incomplete

I was ready, but you weren't
我準備好了但你沒有
So jump with your net from this bridge you burned
於是你拋棄一切逃之夭夭
I wanted to tell you things
我曾想跟你坦誠相待
All the secrets I've been keeping
把所有秘密都告訴你
I saw it in front of me, but then you just kept disappearing
話到嘴邊你卻消失不見
A good dream, almost

Now I tell your ghost
