Lyrics:

[English]

[中文]

If I wanted to know who you were hanging with

如果我想知道你和谁在一起

While I was gone I would have asked you

我离开的时候，我本该问你的

It's the kind of cold, fogs up windshield glass

这是一种寒冷，让挡风玻璃蒙上雾气

But I felt it when I passed you

但我经过你身边时感觉到了

There's an ache in you put there by the ache in me

你的痛苦是我造成的

But if it's all the same to you

但如果你觉得无所谓

It's the same to me

我也觉得无所谓

So we could call it even

所以我们可以扯平了

You could call me babe for the weekend

这个周末你可以叫我宝贝

'Tis the damn season, write this down

这该死的季节，记下来

I'm stayin' at my parents' house

我住在父母家里

And the road not taken looks real good now

那条未选择的路现在看起来真不错

And it always leads to you in my hometown

它总是把我带回有你的家乡

...

...

I parkеd my car right between the Methodist

我把车停在卫理公会教堂中间

And thе school that used to be ours

和曾经属于我们的学校之间

The holidays linger like bad perfume

节日的气息挥之不去，像劣质香水

You can run, but only so far

你可以逃跑，但逃不了多远

I escaped it too, remember how you watched me leave

我也逃离过，记得你看着我离开的样子吗

But if it's okay with you, it's okay with me

但如果你觉得没关系，我也觉得没关系

We could call it even

所以我们可以扯平了

You could call me babe for the weekend

这个周末你可以叫我宝贝

'Tis the damn season, write this down

这该死的季节，记下来

I'm stayin' at my parents' house

我住在父母家里

And the road not taken looks real good now

那条未选择的路现在看起来真不错

Time flies, messy as the mud on your truck tires

时光飞逝，像你卡车轮胎上的泥一样狼狈

Now I'm missing your smile, hear me out

现在我想念你的微笑，听我说

We could just ride around

我们可以只是兜兜风

And the road not taken looks real good now

那条未选择的路现在看起来真不错

And it always leads to you in my hometown

它总是把我带回有你的家乡

...

...

Sleep in half the day just for old times' sake

为了过去的回忆，睡到中午吧

I won't ask you to wait if you don't ask me to stay

如果你不要求我留下，我也不会要求你等待

So I'll go back to L.A. and the so-called friends

所以我将回到洛杉矶，和那些所谓的“朋友”

Who'll write books about me, if I ever make it

如果我成功了，他们会写关于我的书

And wonder about the only soul who can tell which smiles I'm fakin'

并且想知道，只有谁才能看穿我哪个笑容是伪装的

And the heart I know I'm breakin' is my own

我知道我正在伤的心，其实是我自己的

To leave the warmest bed I've ever known

离开我所知道的最温暖的床

We could call it even

我们可以扯平了

...

...

Even though I'm leavin'

即使我即将离开

And I'll be yours for the weekend

这个周末我属于你

'Tis the damn season

这该死的季节

We could call it even

我们可以扯平了

You could call me babe for the weekend

这个周末你可以叫我宝贝

'Tis the damn season, write this down

这该死的季节，记下来

I'm stayin' at my parents' house

我住在父母家里

And the road not taken looks real good now

那条未选择的路现在看起来真不错

Time flies, messy as the mud on your truck tires

时光飞逝，像你卡车轮胎上的泥一样狼狈

Now I'm missing your smile, hear me out

现在我想念你的微笑，听我说

We could just ride around

我们可以只是兜兜风

And the road not taken looks real good now

那条未选择的路现在看起来真不错

And it always leads to you in my hometown

它总是把我带回有你的家乡

It always leads to you in my hometown

它总是把我带回有你的家乡
