Took a drive into the sprawl

骑车到郊外吧

To find the house

找到那个

Where we used to stay in

我们曾住过的老房子

Couldn't read the number in the dark

黑暗中无法辨别门牌号

You said let's save it for another day

你说算了 我们改天再来吧

Took a drive into the sprawl

骑车到郊外吧

To find the places we used to play

找到那个 我们曾尽情嬉戏的老房子

It was the loneliest day of my life

那是我一生中最寂寞的一天

You're talking at me

你就在我面前 和我说着话

But I'm still far away

可我早已神游天外

Let's take a drive

让我们骑车去转转吧

Through the sprawl

穿过那杂乱无章的郊区

Through these towns

越过宁静的小镇

They built to change

有些事情注定会改变

Then you said

The emotions are dead

然后你说

激情不再

It's no wonder that

难怪

You feel so strange

你给我的感觉如此奇怪

Cops showing their lights

警灯闪烁

On the reflectors of our bikes

警车呼啸而来 跟在我们的自行车后面

Said do you kids know

警察说 你们这些孩子们知道

What time it is

现在几点了吗

Well sir it's the first time

I've felt like something is mine

先生 我们是第一次这么晚在外停留

那一刻我似乎感觉你属于我

Like I have something to give

感觉我可以为你做些什么

The last defender of the sprawl

那是我对你最后的维护

Said well where do you kids live

警察说 你们住在哪里啊

Well sir if you only knew

先生 如果你想知道

What the answer is worth

这个问题的答案

Been searching every corner

恐怕得把整个地球的角角落落

Of the earth

都给找个遍
