以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
These are your instructions
这是给你的指引
Should you choose to follow
若你选择遵循
Sit down with pen and paper
请执笔铺开纸张
Begin with something hollow
从空洞的词句开始
Like the last words he offered
比如他最后的话语
No kind of explanation
没有任何解释
They only take up space here
它们只占据空间
You do not need to save them
你无需保留这些
Open up the closet
打开衣柜门
Find his winter coat there
他的冬衣静静挂着
Check inside the pockets
摸索每个口袋
Find a crumpled note there
发现皱褶的便签
It says "milk and Sunday paper"
写着"牛奶和周末报"
And a heart smudged in blue ink
还有洇开的蓝色爱心
Fold it up and box it before you've time to think
趁回忆汹涌前 将它折好封存
Sundays are the hardest
星期天总是最难熬
Avoid familiar back roads
避开熟悉的小路
Erase the old phone numbers
删掉旧日的号码
Delete all the photos
抹去所有的照片
And those you haven't heard from
那些杳无音讯的人
Will come as no surprise
出现也不足为奇
They made their calculation
他们早已权衡利弊
When they chose a side
当选择站队之时
These are your instructions
这是给你的指引
When you become reclusive
当你开始封闭自我
When old friends say they miss you
当老友诉说思念
When sleep becomes elusive
当睡意悄然远离
Fill up every journal
写满每本日记
Empty every shoebox
清空每个鞋盒
Burn the lists and letters
焚尽清单信笺
Sweep out all the old thoughts
扫除陈旧思绪
Shake off all the covers
抖落所有被褥
Throw every window open
推开每一扇窗
Stand here in your bare feet
赤足伫立于此
Welcome in the morning
迎接晨光熹微
These are your instructions
这是给你的指引
When grace has left you stranded
当恩典离你远去
When you are lost and wounded
当你迷失受伤
Bleeding and abandoned
鲜血淋漓被遗弃
Use a tourniquet for pressure
用止血带压住伤口
Let time do it's healing
让时间慢慢愈合
Say prayers for good measure
再虔诚祈祷片刻
When you think you've lost all feeling
当你以为心已枯竭
Now walk into the guest room
缓步走进客房
The last place he was sleeping
他最后安睡的地方
See the outline on the pillow
枕上残存的轮廓
Smooth it without weeping
抚平它 别让泪落
One last final walk through
最后一次环顾这房间
Now move the bags and boxes
将行李与纸箱搬移
From front porch onto back seat
从前廊堆进车后座
Haul away the losses
把旧日伤痛统统载离
These are your instructions
这是给你的指引
If you choose to follow
这便是疗愈的指引
Stop and take a big breath
驻足深深吸口气
Begin with something hollow
从空洞的词句开始
