歌词与翻译

[中文]

我不记得时间线

只记得十二月和东方的地平线

那时正是我该走的时候

甚至不是一个寒冷的夜晚

对北方的夜晚感到失望，我

总是以为那里会有雪

四百人坐在破损的车轮上

当飞机降落在混凝土的雷区

我想我们都平安出来了

沿着街道走向一丝蓝色

你可以失去天空，它也能失去你

但你得有点迷失才能找到路

我活在与时间的战争中

我仍能伸出手触摸你，而我

希望我不知道我知道的事

我站在敞开的门前

没什么是被高估的，而我

永远不想让你走

但我想让你走

别问我，就走

我不记得那些脸

只记得愤怒和萦绕的地方

如此生动，我能在雨中品尝到

即使蟑螂也来自别处

在天使坠落的地方留下污渍

在一个没人知道你名字的城市

我活在与时间的战争中

我仍能伸出手触摸你，而我

希望我不知道我知道的事

我站在敞开的门前

没什么是被高估的，而我

永远不想让你走

但我想让你走

别问我，就走

盯着他们的眼睛，确保他们知道

坚守立场但看到灵魂

在痛苦和破碎的家之下

随着每一滴雨和每一块骨头

肩膀放平，变成石头

慢慢摇头表示不

当你发现自己孤独

回溯脚步，返回家园

我活在与时间的战争中

我仍能伸出手触摸你，而我

希望我不知道我知道的事

我站在敞开的门前

没什么是被高估的，而我

永远不想让你走

但我想让你走

我想让你走（我知道你想让我走）

而我想让你走（走）

我想让你走

别问我，就走

...

[英语]

I don't remember the timeline

Just December and the eastern skyline

It was just my time to go

It wasn't even a cold night

Disappointed in the northern nights, I

Always thought there'd be snow

Four hundred people on a broken wheel

When the plane touched down in a concrete minefield

I guess we all made it out okay

Following the streets to a sliver of blue

You can lose the sky and it can lose you too

But you get a little lost to find your way

I'm living in a war with time

I could still reach out and touch you and I

Wish I didn't know the things I know

I'm standing in an open door

None of it was overrated and I

Never gonna wanna let you go

But I want you to go

Don't even ask me, just go

I don't remember the faces

Just the anger and the haunted places

So alive, I could taste it on the rain

Even the roaches come from somewhere else

Leaving a stain where the angels fell

In a city where no one knows your name

I'm living in a war with time

I could still reach out and touch you and I

Wish I didn't know the things I know

I'm standing in an open door

None of it was overrated and I

Never gonna wanna let you go

But I want you to go

Don't even ask me, just go

Hold their eyes, make sure they know

Stand your ground but see the soul

Beneath the pain and broken home

With every drop of rain and bone

Square your shoulders, turn to stone

Slowly shake your head for no

When you find yourself alone

Retrace your steps and come back home

I'm living in a war with time

I could still reach out and touch you and I

Wish I didn't know the things I know

I'm standing in an open door

None of it was overrated and I

Never gonna wanna let you go

But I want you to go

I want you to go (I know you want me to)

And I want you to go (go)

I want you to go

Don't even ask me, just go
