How Can I Tell Him

It's the morning after
第二天早上
And we're on a train zigzagging 'cross the countryside
我们乘火车蜿蜒穿过乡间
On our way home from a party
从派对回家
That turned insane
当时我们都玩疯了

他靠着我的肩打盹儿
He dozes off on my shoulder
惊醒后慌忙道歉
Wakes up suddenly, apologizes
看向别处
Looks the other way
告诉我该如何

告诉我 我该如何向他表白心迹
So tell me how
告诉我该如何
Tell me how I can tell him I love him
邻居来敲门
So tell me how
说她要报警了

他说 “我会调低音响的”
The neighbor came a-knocking
假装去调音量旋钮
Said she'd call the cops
他是我最好的朋友
He said, "I'll turn down the stereo"
我们无话不谈
Pretended to adjust the volume knob
只要我们谈的无足轻重

只要别深入皮毛之下
He's my best friend
告诉我吧
And we can talk about anything
我该如何告诉他我爱他呢
As long as it's about nothing
告诉我吧
As long as it don't cut deeper than the skin
告诉我该如何向他表白心迹

我该怎么做呢
Tell me how
我是说 我猜他是懂的
Tell me how I can tell him I love him
就像我也懂他的笑话 我总是捧腹大笑
So tell me how
就像Sandra离开他时我紧拥住哭泣的他
Tell me how I can tell him I love him, so
那一刻他放下戒备 我也是
Tell me how
可有些事只能深埋于心 一个男人应有的举止

已经在我之前代代相传 约定俗成
I mean I guess he knows
像沙地上的一条长线 分隔你我
Just like I know when he says something funny and I laugh from my belly
像一把挂在我们心上的 生锈的旧锁
Or when Sandra left him and I held him when he cried
告诉我 我们是如何
For a moment he left his guard down and so did I
在车站分别

他跨上自行车 骑进那间隙
But it's so deep within me, the way a man should be
那白日与黑夜的间隙
Passed on through generations of men before me
他离开前高喊 “以后见 伙计”
A line drawn in the sand to keep us apart
我心想 “是啊
A rusty, old padlock hanging on our hearts
我也爱你啊”

So tell me how

We part ways at the station
He's got his bike and he rides into the gap
'Tween day and night
Before he's gone he shouts, "Later, dude"
I think, "Yeah
I love you too"
