There’s a playground that we used to run on
The penny-drop that broke her arm
The monkey bars that you fell from
The swingset chain that stuck with my tongue
It’s thirty below and we’re far gone
If you plant yourself here I wouldn’t miss you for long
But then comes the day when you leave town
I’m back to the way I was when you weren’t around
If you want to know what that was like
I’ll tell you first, it was way too quiet
It rained a hundred nineteen days of the year
I spent my time falling down the stairs
I know I can’t tie you to a leash
But something tells me you’d go further than Greece
And then I’ll have to figure out what to do
I’m kind of afraid I’m co-dependent on you
I’m freaking out that we’ve started breaking down
Before momentum picked up
Now all these doors are locked
The trees trick you ’cause they’re always standing still
If time was really racing by
You could see it when you drive
There’s a rooftop deck where we still hang out
A couple of bars where we’re not allowed
The roller-skates that threw you on your face
The park on the hill which was our only space
The fog is fast and it rolls right in
About the time I struck my first fifth of gin
I really don’t mean to complain too much
But this is turning me into quite the lush
I’m freaking out that we’re running out of time
But to do what?
Should I stop and think of that?
Is there something I could do to slow it down?
Live in a day for once
Instead of watch it screaming by
You’re a dandelion seed
That flies through the air
And lands randomly
Then disappears
x2
I’m freaking out that we’ve started breaking down
Before momentum picked up
Now all these doors are locked
The trees trick you ’cause they’re always standing still
If time was really racing by
You could see it when you drive
那个我们曾经奔跑过的操场
那个曾经打破她胳膊的游戏机
那个你从上面掉下来的猴架
那个曾经勒住我脖子的秋千绳
虽然我们还很年轻，但那些日子已离我们很远
如果你一直呆在这儿，我就不会如此想念你了
所以当那天你离开的时候
我走在熟悉的路上，你却已经不在我身旁
如果你要问我现在怎么样了
我会告诉你这儿变得太安静了
一年中有一百十九天在下雨
而我的生活如此忙碌
我知道我不能把你栓在我身边
但我听说你去的地方比希腊还要远
然后我在想我要怎么办
我有点害怕我是太依赖你了
我们已经渐渐的疏远了吗，我很害怕
但在我做能什么之前，发现已经晚了
那些树都在取笑你，因为它们总呆在那儿不动
如果时间真的飞般流逝
在你前行的时候就会发先现
那个我们一直呆着的屋顶
那些不让我们去的酒吧
那个我扔到你脸上的溜冰鞋
那个只属于我们的公园的山顶
雾来得如此之快，掩盖了一切
那个时候我第一次喝杜松子酒，然后被呛着
我真的不想抱怨
但那次我真的醉得像个酒鬼
我们已经没有时间了吗，我很害怕
但该做些什么呢
我应该停下来想一想吗
怎样做才能让时间慢下来呢
生活中的每一天，都只有一次
不要只是看着它飞驰而过
你是一粒蒲公英的种子
被风带到空中
随意落到某个地方
然后便消失不见
我们已经渐渐的疏远了吗，我很害怕
但在我做能什么之前，发现已经晚了
那些树都在取笑你，因为它们总呆在那儿不动
如果时间真的飞般流逝
在你前行的时候就会发先现
