I won't forget
我永远不会忘记
When Peter Pan came to my house
当彼得潘来到我家
Took my hand
牵起我的手
I said I was a boy
我说我是个男孩
I'm glad he didn't check
幸好他没有细看
I learned to fly
我学会了飞翔
I learned to fight
我学会了战斗
I lived the whole life in one night
那一夜仿佛过尽了一生
We saved each other's lives out on the pirate deck
我们在海盗甲板上生死与共
And I remember that night when
我仍记得那个夜晚
Leaving a late night with some friends
与朋友们深夜告别时分
And I hear somebody tell me
恍惚听见有人对我说
It's not safe someone should help me
这里不安全 需要人护送
I need to find the nice man to walk me home
我要找到那位绅士 陪我走完归途
When I was a boy
当我还是少年时
I scared the pants off of my mom
我曾把妈妈吓得魂飞魄散
Climbed what I could climb upon
攀爬过所有能爬的地方
And I don't know how I survived
不知为何能活到现在
I guess I knew the tricks that all
或许我懂得所有男孩
Boys knew
都知晓的把戏
And you can walk
你可以陪我
Me home
走回家
But I was a boy too
但我也曾是个男孩啊
I was a kid that you would like
我曾是个讨人喜欢的孩子
Just a small boy on her bike
只是骑单车的顽皮男孩
Riding topless yeah I never cared who saw
光着上身 毫不在意谁的目光
My neighbor came outside to say
邻居出来对我说
Get your shirt
快穿上衣服
I said no way
我偏不听话
It's the last time I'm not breaking any law
那是我最后一次没犯任何规矩
Oh and

Now I'm in this clothing store
此刻我伫立服装店中
And the sign says less is more
简约至上的标语悬于头顶
More that's tight means more to see
紧身剪裁只为博人眼球
More for them not more for me
取悦他人而非本心所求
That can't help me climb a tree in ten seconds flat
这身装扮让我再难十秒攀上树梢
When I was a boy
当我还是少年时
See that picture that was me
照片里那个纯真的我
Grass stained shirt and dusty knees
草渍斑驳的衬衫 沾满尘土的膝盖
And I know things they gotta change
我知道有些事情终将改变
They got pills to sell they've got implants
他们兜售药丸 推销植入体
To put in
要装进去
They got implants to remove
又要把植入体取出来
But
但
I am not forgetting
我永远不会忘记
That I was a boy too
我也曾是个男孩
And like the woods where I would creep
就像我曾悄悄潜入的森林
But it's a secret I can keep
但这是我深藏心底的秘密
Except when I'm tired
除非当我疲惫不堪时
Except when I'm being caught off guard
除非当我猝不及防时
I've had a lonesome awful day
我度过了孤独难熬的一天
The conversation finds it's way
话题不知不觉转向
To catching fireflies out in the backyard
在后院捕捉萤火虫的时光
And
然后
So I tell the man I'm with
于是我向身旁的人诉说
About the other life I lived
那段我曾拥有的别样人生
And I say now you're top gun
我说现在你是赢家
I have lost and you have won
我早已失去 而你获得胜利
And he says oh no oh no can't you see
他却说 不 不 你难道不明白
When I was a girl
当我还是个小女孩时
My mom and I we always talked
妈妈总和我谈心
And I picked flowers everywhere that I walked
我走过的每条路都采撷鲜花
And I could always cry
我依然可以随时落泪
Now even when I'm alone
但如今即便独处
I seldom do
也鲜少哭泣
And I have lost
我已遗失
Some kindness
几分温柔
But I was a girl too
但我曾也是个女孩
And you were just like me
而你与我如此相似
And I was just like you
我也曾如你一般
