Desperate Things
She was doing 60 in a 35
她在限速35的車道上開到了60邁
I hit the lights and pulled her over
我打開警燈，讓她停下車*（*這首歌主人公是位警官）
When I reached the window of the driver side
當我走到駕駛座的車窗旁
There was blood from her mouth
她嘴裡有血
Dry on her shoulder
血印在肩膀上乾涸
I've never had much patience for guys that hit
我一向對打人的傢伙沒什麼耐心
For more than just obvious reasons
找各種理由來家暴的傢伙
I asked if she wanted me to take him in
我問她是否需要我把他帶進警局
She laughed it off like lemonade

You can be blinded by your own heart

You'll bend your own truth

So twisted up you could justify sin

Are desperate enough
