作曲 : Tyler Lee Morrison
Sideways storyteller (斜握故事的述说者)
Rain against my car as I drive home (归途中,雨滴敲击车窗)
Just the view from my economy unit (只是我孤室愁窗外的风景)
That looks away from you (它朝着你远离的方向望去)
My dark hair and coffee (我漆黑鬓发与香醇咖啡)
Two things you say you need (你言之为尔命中不可或缺的双璧)
City lights that never seem to burn out (城市的灯光似乎永不熄灭)
The way you said we would be (仿佛你往日的约定仍未远离)
It’s like the cards (命运犹如纸牌堆起)
Were stacked against us (不利的牌面层层叠叠)
And it felt like snow in August (犹如八月纷纷的雪花般缭绕着我们)
And the avenues he used to kiss me under (那些我们曾相吻的街头路巷)
Don’t know me like they used to (不再熟稔,更变往昔)
Now i’m hoping to be someone new ooh ooh ooh ooh (此刻渴望蜕变为新我 噢 噢 噢 噢)
Fighting temptation after temptation to hear the static voice of you (挣扎抵御诱惑之际,倾听你虚幻声音)
Oh the fire escapes we used to climb but (曾同攀的避难梯不再及)
This love was never mine, and you (此爱非我所有,而你)
Don’t deserve it but it’s never new, never new (不值一提,却平凡无奇)
Manhattan misses you (曼哈顿怀念着你)
Counting your contradictions (默默斟酌你的矛盾纷争)
Your rules as fragile as cold glass (你的信念脆弱如玻璃渐离)
You forget yourself sometimes (有时你迷失自我)
My present in your past (而我仍栖息于你的往昔)
I knew the traffic moved too slow (我知车马缓慢如腿行)
It was written on your face (在你脸上刻下明迹)
But you let the claustrophobic streets (而你任街头陌巷的拥挤)
Take you far away from me (将你我远离)
And now i’m (如今我)
Hoping to be someone new ooh ooh ooh ooh (期待焕然一新 噢 噢 噢 噢)
Fighting temptation after temptation (挣扎抵御诱惑之际)
To hear the static voice of you (倾听你虚幻声音)
Oh the fire escapes we used to climb but (曾同攀的避难梯不再及)
This love was never mine, and you (此爱非我所有,而你)
Don’t deserve it but it’s never new, never new (不值一提,却平凡无奇)
Manhattan misses you (曼哈顿怀念着你)
And we won’t talk, and i’ll hang up (我们默不言语,挂断通话)
And i’ll turn my car around (转身驾车回返)
Back to the city, that loves me (回到爱我之城)
To the skyline and the clouds (归于云影与天际)
And we won’t talk, and i’ll hang up (我们默不言语,挂断通话)
And i’ll turn my car around (转身驾车回返)
Back to the city, that loved me (回到爱我之城)
To the skyline and the clouds (归于云影与天际)
And now i’m hoping (如今,我期盼着)
And now i’m hoping (如今,我期盼着)
Manhattan misses you (曼哈顿怀念着你)
Hoping to be someone new ooh ooh ooh ooh (期待焕然一新 噢 噢 噢 噢)
Fighting temptation after temptation (挣扎抵御诱惑之际)
To hear the static voice of you (倾听你虚幻声音)
Oh the fire escapes we used to climb but (曾同攀的避难梯不再及)
This love was never mine, and you (此爱非我所有,而你)
Don’t deserve it but it’s never new, never new (不值一提,却平凡无奇)
Manhattan misses you (曼哈顿在怀念着你)
I unpack my bags (我解下行囊)
Close my eyes (紧闭双眸)
I breathe in again (深深吸气)
And I (然后)
Turn out the light (将光芒灭熄)
