歌词与翻译

[中文]

行吧，一辆漆黑的复古雪佛兰，我当时十七岁

我除了几件T恤和一条牛仔裤，一无所有

路边棕榈树摇曳，前座却弥漫着大麻味

那时候你正走在通往名气和一切的路上

黑白琴键，因为你的一切都显得太过大牌

我想参与其中，看看你在忙些什么

这一切真的像你表现出来的那样悲伤吗？

我本想生气，但你却让我无法发火

1995年，佛罗里达微风中的少年（喔~）

冰淇淋，一切发生前，生活真是甜得腻人

艰难地挤出时间，试图让我在你每天的生活里占有一席之地（喔~）

但你从未出现

世界在流转，我们本就不该停留

可我当时正努力在这个世界上打拼

我曾以为只要给你我所拥有的一切

我曾以为这样就能奏效

我从不知道（喔~）

这一切都是因为你（喔~）

我从不知道（喔~）

噢，我猜我从未了解过（哇~）

行吧，有钱了，试着把这一叠钞票塞进我的普拉达牛仔裤

配着我的思琳外套，感觉自己是万物之王

这周又进账五千，我买下了所有想要的东西

挥金如土，车子一开，惊艳全场

黑白琴键，因为你的一切都显得太过大牌

孩子们想要保持距离，某种程度上

我感到心如刀绞

我努力让自己保持完整

而你甚至都不愿对我坦诚相待

你从未和我一起共唱一曲

世界在流转，我们本就不该停留（喔~）

可我当时正努力在这个世界上打拼（喔~）

我曾以为只要给你我所拥有的一切（喔~）

我曾以为这样就能奏效（喔~）

我从不知道（喔~）

这一切都是因为你（喔~）

我从不知道（喔~）

噢，我猜我从未了解过（哇~）

[英语]

A'ight, pitch black Chevy antique, I was 17

I ain't have nothing but some tees and a pair of jeans

Palm trees, but it smell like weed in the front seat

You was en route to being famous and everything

White keys, 'cause she's way too major for everything

I wanna be a part of it, what you got going on

Is it as sad as you make it out to be?

I wanna be mad, but you take it out of me

1995, teens in the Florida breeze (ooh-ooh-ooh)

Ice cream, shit was so sweet before everything

Tight squeeze, tryna fit me into every day (ooh-ooh-ooh)

But you never came

The world is movin', we were never meant to stay

But I was working on the world

I guess I thought that if I gave you what I had

I guess I thought that it would work

I never knew (oh, oh, oh)

And it was because of you (oh, oh, oh)

I never knew (oh, oh, oh)

Oh, I guess I never knew (whoa)

A'ight, rich ass, tryna fit my Gs in these Prada jeans

Mismatchin' with my Celines, king of everything

Fifth stack comin' in this week, I bought everything

Dispatchin' with dollar G's, pulled up, ripped the scene

White keys 'cause she's way too major for everything

The kids want distance, somewhat

Then I feel my heart inside my back

I made a point to be intact

And you don't even keep it wholesome with me

You were singin' no songs with me

The world is movin', we were never meant to stay (oh-oh-oh)

But I was workin' on the world (oh-oh-oh)

I guess I thought that if I gave you what I had (oh-oh-oh)

I guess I thought that it would work (oh-oh-oh)

I never knew (oh, oh, oh)

And it was because of you (oh, oh, oh)

I never knew (oh, oh, oh)

Oh, I guess I never knew (whoa)
