歌词与翻译

[中文]

我当时正去干洗店取西装

这对我来说是常有的事

周四，12点半

我最近的生活非常有规律

我也说不上来，反正这样挺好

总之，我正要离开

我正准备上车

然后我伸手去调整后视镜

但在镜子的倒影里，就在那一瞬间

我看到了一个身影，思绪开始波动

回忆如潮水般涌回

让我愣在原地

那是谁？

那是我的爱人

我前世的爱人

...

来自前世

感觉像是见到了幽灵

来自前世

如此猝不及防

来自前世

我看得目不转睛

来自前世

...

好吧，那段关系介于爱人和朋友之间

那时候的感觉很不一样

超现实，富有诗意，却又充满不确定性

就像一部结局令人困惑的荒诞爱情片

但我强行切断了它，将其封存

那些我强迫自己忘记的声音和气味

那是用来逃避遗憾的廉价手段

但那一切都是真实的

只是感觉像是前世的事了

...

来自前世

真疯狂

来自前世

(很难有事能让我如此心神不宁)

我一直在想，你是否想要我的爱

第一次

时隔良久

我一直在想，你是否想要我的爱

...

于是我像往常一样过着每一天

但我似乎无法将其仅仅视作一次偶遇

它占据了我的心

我以为我正在释怀，但我想我只是在麻木而已

现在我看待生活，只觉得它瞬间变得平庸且乏味

我不知道自己能否继续这样生活下去

但我并不想去翻旧账

我是说，我甚至不知道她是否还用那个号码

谁知道呢？也许还在用吧

...

来自前世

我想尝试一下也无妨

来自前世

最坏的情况又能怎样呢？

我一直在想，你是否想要我的爱

第一次

时隔良久

我想开口说出来，却始终无法表达得恰到好处

...

前世

来自前世

如果你一直在我脑海中，你就不是陌生人

第一次

我知道太晚了，只是感觉时机不对

时隔良久

...

喂？

...

[英语]

I was picking up a suit from the dry cleaners

Which is standard for me

Thursday, 12:30

I've got a pretty solid routine these days

I don't know, it just works for me

Anyway, I was leaving

I was getting in my car

And I went to adjust the rearview mirror

But in its reflection, just for a second

I saw a figure, started to trigger

Memories flooded back

Stopped me in my tracks

Who was that?

It was my lover

My lover from a past life

From a past life

Feel like I saw a ghost

From a past life

So unexpected

From a past life

I was transfixed

From a past life

Well, somewhere between a lover and a friend

It was different back then

Surreal, poetic, but uncertain

Like a bizarre chick-flick with a confusing end

But I shut it down, closed it off

The sounds and smells I made myself forget

A cheap solution to block out regret

But it was real

It just feels like a past life

From a past life

Crazy

From a past life

(It takes a lot to trip me out)

I always wondered if you wanted my love

For the first time

In a long time

I always wondered if you wanted my love

So I go about my day as normal

But I can't seem to pass it off as just a random event

It consumes me

I thought I was moving on, but I guess I was just switching off

And now I see my life as the banal slog it instantly became

And I don't know if I can go on the same

But I don't wanna dig up old bones

I mean, I don't even know if she has the same phone number

Who knows? Maybe she does

From a past life

I guess there's no harm in trying

From a past life

What's the worst that could happen?

I always wondered if you wanted my love

For the first time

In a long time

I tried to say it, but it never came out right

Past life

From a past life

You're not a stranger if you're always on my mind

For the first time

I know it's late, it just didn't feel right

In a long time

Hello?
