Been lookin' at my city garden
凝望着我的城市花园
For almost twelve months now
已近十二个月时光
I been thinkin' 'bout a bargain
思量着一场交易
About tearin' that old fence down
想拆掉那道旧篱墙
The day that I moved in here
搬来那日的景象
Found a single rusted lawn chair
只寻得一把生锈的草坪椅
And a note that said
和一张字条写着
Go and get 'em girl
去追逐吧姑娘
Go and get 'em girl
去追逐吧姑娘
Set of keys in my hand
钥匙紧握在我掌心
For an empty room
开启空荡的房间
On a small but wild plot of land
在这片小而狂野的土地上
When August came there grew a billion weeds
八月来临 野草疯长成海
Shot out from in the core
从土壤深处迸发
I pulled 'til I fell to my knees
我拼命拔草直到跪地
But those roots seemed to spread more and more
根系却蔓延得越发猖狂
I waved the neighbors over
我向邻居们招手示意
I said hey look this over
我说快来看看这个
Shielding their eyes they cried
他们手搭凉棚惊叹道
Go and get 'em girl
去追逐吧姑娘
Go and get 'em girl
去追逐吧姑娘
Turned back to their land
转身回到他们的田地
But my rugged green
但我这片倔强的绿意
Kept on pushing new life up to stand
仍在孕育新生命破土而出
I used to date a boy in Paris
我曾与巴黎少年相恋
Until I hit new york
直到纽约改写命途
And aren't we velvet petalled roses
我们本是丝绒花瓣的玫瑰
'Til we're up against the big sharks
却要直面巨鲨的獠牙
Rooted on this island
在这孤岛扎根生长
My thoughts they started climbing
思绪开始攀援而上
And it grew and grew
它不断蔓延滋长
I would leave him there
我终将离他远航
I would leave him there
我终将离他远航
But then let me go
然后让我独自前行
He must have known
他一定早已明白
That roots this deep
如此深扎的根系
Only can bring forth
只能孕育出
One bloom to grow
一朵绽放的花
Been lookin' at my city garden
凝望着我的城市花园
For almost twelve months now
已近十二个月时光
I been thinkin' 'bout a bargain
思量着一场交易
About tearin' that old fence down
想拆掉那道旧篱墙
