The Absence of Birds

有鼓聲傳入耳中
Theres a drum beat
也有主歌
And a verse
淹沒我所在的街道
Flooding my street
那些女孩們看起來很激動
And the girls they seem ecstatic
這次眼前的喧鬧
This time its not on them
不能怪她們
To take the blame
。
For the commotion
在你留下的車

的車前座上
In the front seat
我度過了太長的時間
Of the car you left out here
但我仍不能開車
Ive spent far too many hours
只能播放這些磁帶
Still cant drive
直到亮光再次出現
Just playing through these tapes
這些是我不該做的事
Til it gets light outside
只希望我能接近你

而不是和鄰居呆在社區派對
These are things I shouldnt do
這些誇大了的字眼
Just wish I was close to you
那些鳥兒已不在了
Instead a block party with neighbours
搖下窗戶
These amplified words
不是一個可選的選擇
And the absence of birds
找到那endo

我打賭這些男孩們整晚都會在跳舞
Roll down the windows
這一次的喧鬧
Not a choice
不能怪他們
Find the endo
就像鼓聲
I bet these boys will keep on dancing all night
就像噪音
For once theyre not the ones being blamed
愛著那混凝土建成的房子一樣
For the commotion
我希望這聲音能長存

這首歌，
Like the drumbeat
能脫離這磁帶，
Like the noise
去到它歸屬的地方——你的耳邊
Loves the concrete
這些事是我不該說的
I hope this voice while it still lingers
這些事是我不該做的
This song
這些事是我不該說的
Escapes the tape
只希望我能靠近你
To reach your distant ears where it belongs
而不是和鄰居呆在街區派對上

這些誇大了的字眼
These are things I shouldnt say
曾經的鳥兒已不在了
These are things I shouldnt do
These are things I shouldnt say
Just wish I was close to you
Instead this block party with neighbours
These amplified words
And the absence of birds
