[中文]

我不会把自己说成是伤心的人

但我说过几次再见

我可能会承诺，但我知道之后

我肯定会改变主意

取决于天气，我会离开

该死，宝贝没人知道我会去哪

是啊，如果时间不同

或许在不同的生活里会有所不同

也许那架飞机永远不会起飞

也许那灰尘不会从车道上飞扬

也许那风滚草和我

不会在每个日出时离开

也许我会安定下来

扎下一些根

找一个农舍

找到一个你

也许我不会再次离开了

如果不是因为风

我就不会一直想知道外面有什么

我就不会乘着微风而行

我就不会凭空消失

我可以放下这些翅膀

也许那架飞机永远不会起飞

也许那灰尘不会从车道上飞扬

也许那风滚草和我

不会在每个日出时离开

也许我会安定下来

扎下一些根

找一个农舍

找到一个你

也许我不会再次离开了

如果不是风在吹

带着我到广阔的天地

白色线条滚动，轮胎冒烟

我不会看着后视镜

如果不是因为风

如果不是因为风

也许那架飞机永远不会起飞

也许那灰尘不会从车道上飞扬

也许那风滚草和我

不会在每个日出时离开

也许我会安定下来

扎下一些根

找一个农舍

找到一个你

也许我不会再次离开了

如果不是风在吹

带着我到广阔的天地

白色线条滚动，轮胎冒烟

我不会看着后视镜

如果不是因为风

如果不是因为风

...

[英语]

I wouldn't paint me as a heart breaker

But I've said a few goodbyes

I'd make a promise, but I know later

I'm bound to change my mind

Dependin' on the weather I'm goin'

And hell, baby nobody knows where

Yeah, if it was a different time

Might've been different in a different life

Maybe that plane wouldn't ever take off

Maybe that dust wouldn't fly off the drive

Maybe that tumble weed and me

Wouldn't leave every other sunrise

Maybe I'd settle down

Dig in some roots

Find me a farm house

Find me a you

Maybe I wouldn't be already gone again

If it weren't for the wind

I wouldn't stay wonderin' what's out there

I wouldn't saddle up on the breeze

I wouldn't disappear out of thin air

I could put down these wings

Maybe that plane wouldn't ever take off

Maybe that dust wouldn't fly off the drive

Maybe that tumble weed and me

Wouldn't leave every other sunrise

Maybe I'd settle down

Dig in some roots

Find me a farm house

Find me a you

Maybe I wouldn't be already gone again

If it weren't for the wind blowin'

Carryin' me to the wide open

White lines rollin' and the tires smokin'

It wouldn't be the rearview I'm lookin' in

If it weren't for the wind

If it weren't for the wind

Maybe that plane wouldn't ever take off

Maybe that dust wouldn't fly off the drive

Maybe that tumble weed and me

Wouldn't leave every other sunrise

Maybe I'd settle down

Dig in some roots

Find me a farm house

Find me a you

Maybe I wouldn't be already gone again

If it weren't for the wind blowin'

Carryin' me to the wide open

White lines rollin' and the tires smokin'

It wouldn't be the rearview I'm lookin' in

If it weren't for the wind

If it weren't for the wind
