icking away the moments that make up a dull day
为了打发无聊的一天
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
随意地浪费那么多时间
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
漫无目的地在家乡闲逛
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
等待某人或某事为你指明方向
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
厌倦了躺在太阳底下 厌倦了躲在家中看雨
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
你还年轻 生活的路还很长 今天又无所事事了
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
突然有一天 你发现十年已经过去
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
没人告诉你什么时候应该起跑 你错过了发令枪
So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
所以你跑啊跑 想追上太阳 可惜它已经开始下落
Racing around to come up behind you again
它在和你竞赛 从你后面又升了起来
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
太阳还是那个太阳 但你却已经变老
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
呼吸急促了 离死亡又近了一天
Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time
年复一年 变得越来越短 总觉得找不到时间了
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
计划最后总是要变成零 或是变成那草草的半页纸
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
悬于安静的绝望中 这是英国人的方式
The time is gone the song is over
时光流逝了 歌也结束了
Thought I'd something more to say
但总觉得自己还有话想说......
