Tin Can On A String - Brad Paisley

After the breakup
分手之后
I really thought we'd make up
我曾笃定我们会重修旧好
Give her a little time
给她些时间沉淀
I'd be on her mind
我终会重回她心间
And suddenly she'd wake up
她终会如梦初醒
But today if you listen
但今日你若侧耳
Softly off in the distance
远处隐约飘来
Somewhere 'cross town
隔着整座城的距离
You can hear the sound
婚礼钟声在耳畔回响
Of wedding bells ringing
清脆悠扬
And there's bird seed on the concrete
水泥地上散落着祝福的谷粒
And she's waving goodbye
她挥手作别的身影
And they're driving away
随婚车渐行渐远
And everybody cheerin' them on
人群欢呼声里
As the taillights fade
车尾灯的光晕终消散
Yeah she's really gone
她真的离我远去
I thought someday that would be me
曾以为站在她身旁的会是我
But now she's driving away in that limousine
如今她却乘着礼车缓缓驶离
And I'm holdin' on
而我仍固执地抓着回忆
Like a tin can on a string
像挂在绳上空荡的易拉罐
Somewhere in my mind
恍惚间仍会幻想
I'm the one by her side
自己才是她身侧的新郎
In that backseat talkin' 'bout the beach
在后座与她共话沙滩时光
And that honeymoon flight
那场蜜月航班
I'd play the whole thing out
我曾在脑海中反复预演
From the kids to the house
从儿女绕膝到白首同檐
To the future that we always dreamed about
将我们憧憬的未来都走遍
But there's bird seed on the concrete
但散落的喜糖碎屑刺眼
And back here in reality
将我拉回残酷的今天
She's driving away
她的婚车正渐行渐远
And everybody cheerin' them on
人群欢呼声里
As the taillights fade
车尾灯的光晕终消散
Yeah she's really gone
她真的离我远去
I thought someday that would be me
曾以为站在她身旁的会是我
But now she's driving away in that limousine
如今她却乘着礼车缓缓驶离
And I'm holdin' on
而我仍固执地抓着回忆
Like a tin can on a string
像挂在绳上空荡的易拉罐
I thought someday that would be me
曾以为站在她身旁的会是我
But now she's driving away in that limousine
如今她却乘着礼车缓缓驶离
And I'm not ready to let go of everything
而我却无法放手过往种种
So I'm holdin' on I'm holdin' on
只能紧握执念 不肯松开
Like a tin can on a string
像绳上摇晃的空罐头般徒劳
