Blink of an Eye - Passenger
Lyrics by：Michael Rosenberg
Composed by：Michael Rosenberg
I was a dreamer when I was young
青春年少的时候 我是个梦想家
Lyin' on the grass starin' at the sky
躺在草地上 仰望天空
I never felt the time was moving on
我从未感觉到时间匆匆流逝
I thought it would stay the same
我以为一辈子
For all my life
都不会改变分毫
Playin' games under Christmas lights
在圣诞彩灯下玩着游戏
When the world was warm and bright
当世界温暖明亮时
But that time just seemed to fly
但是眨眼之间
In the blinking of an eye
时光就飞逝而过
I was a joker when I was at school
当我上学时 我是个小丑
Smokin' grass laughing and gettin' high
吞云吐雾 开怀大笑 欣喜若狂
I never cared about nothin' at all
我什么都不在乎
I thought it would stay the same
我以为一辈子
For all my life
都不会改变分毫
Kissing girls under summer nights
夏日夜晚 与女孩拥吻
When the world was big and bright
那时世界辽阔又明亮
But that time just passed me by
但是眨眼之间
In the blinking of an eye
时光就匆匆流逝
I left home at seventeen
十七岁的时候 我离开家
Tried to get into the music scene
想要投身于音乐行业
It wore me down like an old machine
就像是一台破旧机器 让我心力交瘁
I learnt how to work and forgot how to dream oh
我学会努力工作 却忘记如何做梦
Yeah
I fell in love at twenty-one
二十一岁的时候 我坠入爱河
Down in the grass getting lost in her wide eyes
躺在草地上 迷失在她大大的眼睛里
Wouldn't have traded it for anyone
不愿以此为筹码 与任何人交换
I thought it would stay the same
我以为一辈子
For all my life
都不会改变分毫
But I was just too young to know
但我当时年少无知
I let her down and let her go
我让她失望 任由她离去
That time taught me how to cry
那段时光教会我如何哭泣
In the blinking of an eye
一切都发生在眨眼之间
In the blinking of an eye
一切都发生在眨眼之间
I hit the road at twenty-three
二十三岁的时候 我踏上旅途
Stood in the grass singing songs for passers-by
伫立在草地上 为路过的行人歌唱
Foot-loose and fancy-free
自由自在
I thought it would stay the same
我以为一辈子
For all my life
都不会改变分毫
Oh and practice taught me how to preach
实践教会我如何布道
I touched the world so out of reach
我触碰到遥不可及的世界
And that time it lived and died
眨眼之间
In the blinking of an eye
那段美好的时光就悄然消逝
It all changed at twenty-nine
二十九岁的时候 一切发生翻天覆地的变化
My boat came in and the stars aligned
我的船舶驶来 星星连成一线
I watched a simple song of mine
我看到一首简单的歌谣 讲述着我的人生
Travel the world in the blink of an eye yeah
眨眼之间就游遍世界
Yeah
Now I'm here at thirty-six
现在我已经三十六岁
Down in the grass tryna make sense of it all
躺在草地上 想要弄清楚一切
Maybe there's no easy fix
也许这世上没有简单的解决办法
The highest highs come with the hardest falls
走向人生巅峰 注定会一落千丈
See the good times come and go
看到美好的时光来去匆匆
Like the people that you know
就像你认识的人们一样
And all you can do is try
你所能做的就是勇敢尝试
For it's gone in the blink of an eye
因为一切在眨眼之间就消失殆尽
