Written by：Robert Rotifer

You watched them breeding with each other
你看着他们亲密无间
As you sit like any other day here on your own
而你独自坐着 日复一日
You have another cigarette another coffee
又点一支烟 再续一杯咖啡
Then you pay the bill and wander home
结账后 你独自漫步回家
You fill the vases with fresh flowers
你为花瓶换上鲜花
Check the linen take a shower
整理床单 沐浴更衣
And spray on your best colone
喷上最爱的古龙水
Arrange the photos of you hanging out with people
整理那些与友人欢聚的照片
That you can't believe you've ever known
难以置信你曾如此熟悉
And somewhere it must be somewhere
某个地方 一定存在某个地方
There is the flicker of a thought that memories are not enough
闪过一念 回忆终究不够
There may have been the kind of stuff that he called love
或许曾有过 他称之为爱的片段
But like all memories it never is enough
但如所有往事 永远无法填满空缺
The rain is falling like confetti at that long forgotten wedding day
雨落如彩纸 飘散在那被遗忘的婚礼
From which you took flight
你从那里逃离
Oh how you smoke great d**e till dawn and lay on the lawn
彻夜吞云吐雾 醉卧草坪
By the moonlight
月光之下
And somewhere it must be somewhere
某个地方 一定存在某个地方
There is the flicker of a thought that sweet revenge might compensate
闪过一念 甜蜜的报复或许能弥补
Those hours staring at the clock while you sat waiting for the knock
那些你枯坐等待敲门声 而我盯着时钟的时光
It was already too late
却早已为时已晚
And somewhere it must be somewhere
某个地方 一定存在某个地方
There is the remnant of a dream of the plans beyond your door
还残留着 关于门外世界的梦想
When no one knows you anymore cause like those remnants you are faded
当无人再记得你 就像那些褪色的残梦
Into before

Before you gave up laughing
在你放弃欢笑之前
Before the world was frightening
在世界变得可怕之前
Before you were the one everybody never sees
在你成为被所有人忽视的存在之前
Before you couldn't leave here
在你无法离开这里之前
Before you had a new name
在你拥有新名字之前
Before you were the one who could never freeze
在你成为那个永远无法冻结的人之前
Before this was your life
在这成为你的人生之前
Before this was your end
在这一切成为你的终点之前
Before your friends wondered where you are
在你的朋友开始疑惑你的去向之前
And how you are
关心你的近况
And who you are
追问你的身份
Before you couldn't answer anymore
在你再也无法回应之前
About anything that happened
关于发生的一切
Before
在那之前
