[中文]

I'd never met you, but I wanted to invite you to the party

从未见过你，但我想邀请你参加派对

Then you walked in with those green eyes, never stolen by nobody

然后你走进房间，带着那双清澈的绿眼睛，从未被任何人占据

And they flicker to the future, for a moment, I could picture

它们闪烁着对未来的憧憬，那一刻，我仿佛看到了未来

Then you touch me and I come back, and we're talking on the staircase

你触碰我，我回过神来，我们开始在楼梯上聊天

'Bout your big dreams on the big screens

聊着你在大屏幕上的伟大梦想

Out of Georgia, now you're lonely in this city

离开了佐治亚州，现在你在这座城市里感到孤独

Lyin' with me, and you're scared it's movin' quickly

躺在我身边，你害怕这一切进展太快

Oh, now you're crying, you're in pieces

哦，现在你哭了，你心烦意乱

'Cause the only love you've ever known is Jesus

因为你唯一知道的爱是耶稣

I can feel it

我能感觉到

Oh, I hate that I'm the reason

哦，我讨厌我是那个原因

That you're in your head right now

让你现在思绪万千

While your world is spinning out

当你的世界天旋地转

So slow it down, take a moment now

所以慢下来，现在放松一下

We're too young to drown deep in dirty waters

我们还太年轻，不该沉溺在浑浊的水中

Full of hopeless doubt, let me pull you out

充满了绝望的怀疑，让我拉你出来

Let me hold you now, let me slow it down

让我现在抱紧你，让我慢下来

Ain't it funny how it changes?

改变是多么有趣，不是吗？

How the future rearranges

未来是如何重新安排的

I get nervous, oh, I'm anxious

我变得紧张，哦，我很焦虑

Maybe loving you is dangerous

也许爱你很危险

I could lose you like the others

我可能会像失去其他人一样失去你

Only girl that's never left me is my mother

唯一一个从未离开我的女孩是我的母亲

Oh, I love her

哦，我爱她

And I know you'll probably hate it

我知道你可能会讨厌

But I'm in my head right now

但我现在也思绪万千

So slow it down, take a moment now

所以慢下来，现在放松一下

We're too young to drown deep in dirty waters

Full of hopeless doubt, let me pull you out

充满了绝望的怀疑，让我拉你出来

Let me hold you now, let me (slow it down)

Slow it down when you're on the ground

And you're crying, I'm trying (slow it down)

当你哭泣时，我试着（慢下来）

To slow it down when you're spinning 'round

当你晕头转向时，慢下来

In your head

在你的脑海里

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

I'll help you slow it down
