This is not an escape
這不是逃離
But I don't know how to hold somebody without losing my grip
只是我不知道如何在我克制之時去擁抱一個人
You' ll say I was bound to leave
你說我注定要離去
Since I first stepped across your borders
從我第一次觸碰你的脆弱
Since I crawled into your skin
從我貼近你的肌膚
Thought I heard you whisper in the dark
想像著聽見你在黑夜中嘆息
That you knew where the light would be
我知道你會找到光的指向
Thought I saw your shape against the black
想像著我看見你的輪廓從黑暗中顯現
Thought I felt you moving beside me
感到你就在我身邊
We are not alone and we are more alone than we've ever been
我們都不孤獨我們都比曾經更孤獨
So hurry up and lose me
所以行路吧並離開我
Hurry up and find me, again
繼續行路並再一次找到我

我會穿過木材廠
So I'll pass the lumber mills
煤礦山和公園
I' ll pass the coal mines and the parks
還有乾涸的油田
And the dried up oil fields
我會穿過無數棵孤單的松樹它們背對著陽光生長
I'll pass a thousand lonely pines that bend the backs against the sun
在站台上等候鳥叫聲使我驚覺是你的短信
But I'll mistake the station birds for the sound of my phone ringing
聽見你在黑夜中嘆息

但你知道光的指向
Thought I heard you whisper in the dark
不要等我我不會徑直地來到
That you knew where the light would be
這只會讓人在憂慮中徘徊
Don't wait for me to walk a straight line
我們都不孤獨我們都比曾經更孤獨
You can only hold your breath so long
所以行路吧並離開我
We are not alone and we are more alone than we've ever been
繼續行路並再一次找到我
So hurry up and lose me
但我不覺得與你更疏遠
Hurry up and find me, again
比我見證你的沉默時

比我持守你的寂靜時
But I am no less bound to you
但你從來不喜歡
Than when I crossed into your silence
當我展示我的黑暗面時
When I held your solitude
你疑問為什麼我的情詩總是哀思
But you never liked it
為何我離去在人海中游盪以求沉思
When I'd play dead
忘了我說過愛
And you wondered why my love songs are always the grieving kind
同時不要忘記我說過愛
Why I wander off to search for my reflection in the crowd
我們並不孤獨我們比曾經孤獨

行路吧並離開我
Oh, forget I said love
繼續行路並再一次找到我
And also, don't forget I said love
We are not alone and we are more alone than we've ever been
So hurry up and lose me
Hurry up and find me again
