[中文歌詞翻譯] Fairweather Friends by Vanessa Carlton (Rabbits On The Run, 2011)

Vanessa Carlton Lyrics
"Fairweather Friends"

Say you see through the folly
說你看破了凡塵
But you do it for the fame
但你是為了名譽做的
And I'm fighting the jetstream
我則在與急流搏鬥
Drinking cheap wine on airplanes
在飛機上喝廉價紅酒
You're in L.A. not Chicago
你是在洛杉磯，非芝加哥
Key under mat
鑰匙在門墊底
I walk the dog, order in
我遛狗，叫外送
Home alone
一個人在家

Found your letter on a full-moon Sunday night
收到你的信件，在滿月的星期天夜晚
Some other girl in your spell, casting plans for her life
又一個女孩墮進你的魔咒，施展著她的人生計劃
Pour the vodka and it dulls sharp lies
倒出伏特加，它發出刺耳的謊言
Breathe the words of diamonds on rings
吸收著自鑽石戒指吐出的言語

And you didn't mean to do it
你不是故意的
So I don't have to believe it
所以我不需要相信
If you didn't really mean it
如果你真的不是故意的
Magical thinking gets us by
我們靠奇妙的思考方式混過去

Sing for the aftershow
散場時段表演曲目
Those candy-colored lips
糖果顏色的嘴唇
Your age is showing and you've gotta harder for it
你容顏漸老，你需要再加把勁
It's always easier with freshmen
新手總是比較容易的
I'm not as clever, it should bring you to life
我沒你聰明，這樣你能振作了吧

And you didn't mean to do it
你不是故意的
So I don't have to believe it
所以我不需要相信
If you didn't really mean it
如果你真的不是故意的
Magical thinking gets us by
我們靠奇妙的思考方式混過去

My fairweather friend
我的酒肉朋友
Fairweather friend
酒肉朋友

Live for the folly, but you did it for the fame
為凡塵而生，但你是為了名譽做的
Now you're fragile as porcelain
現在你脆弱如瓷
Drinking cheap wine on airplanes
在飛機上喝廉價紅酒
Did I ever leave Chicago?
我有離開過芝加哥嗎？
I got your message
收到你的短信
Glad you're doing well
很高興你過得好

And you didn't mean to do it
你不是故意的
So I don't have to believe it
所以我不需要相信
If you didn't really mean it
如果你真的不是故意的
Magical thinking gets us by
我們靠奇妙的思考方式混過去

Gets us by
混過去
Gets us by
混過去

Say you see through the folly
說你看破了凡塵
But you do it for the fame
但你是為了名譽做的
Say you see through the folly
說你看破了凡塵
But you do it for the fame
但你是為了名譽做的
Say you see through the folly
說你看破了凡塵
But you do it for the fame
但你是為了名譽做的
Say you see through the folly
說你看破了凡塵
But you do it for the fame

T[中文歌詞翻譯] London by Vanessa Carlton (Rabbits On The Run, 2011)

Vanessa Carlton Lyrics
"London"
“倫敦”

Waste away the days
虛度光陰
Waiting on a new age
等候新的歲數
But time betrays me
但時間背叛了我
And I get older one more year
我又老了一歲

Walk London's windy streets
在倫敦刮風的街頭走著
Go anywhere but home
除了家去哪裡都行
'Cause I'm looking for the secrets
因為我在尋找那些秘密
That only cobble stones hold

Only the cobble stones know

And I've never been so sure
That after all these years, I'll never learn
That heavenly creatures never come

You've got a knife-throwing kind of love
But your silence cuts the deepest
And I know I've made a mess of things
And I'm sorry for all that
Wish we could get the time back

Because I've never been so sure
That after all these years, I'll never learn
That heavenly creatures never come
Wait for it
Wait for it

Now I'm staring at the sun
As if there's a riddle I'm not in on
'Cause the wolves howl to the Moon
And she never answers back
No, she never answers back

And after all these years, I'll never learn
That heavenly creatures never, never been so sure
That after all these years, I'll never learn
That heavenly creatures never come, oh

Waste away the days
Waiting on a new age

T[中文歌詞翻譯] I Don't Want To Be A Bride by Vanessa Carlton (Rabbits On The Run, 2011)

Vanessa Carlton Lyrics
"I Don't Want To Be A Bride"

I like your company
Got a fresh philosophy
Never knew
Such a gentleman
You can take me on a cheap vacation
I don’t wanna have expectations 'cause you
Could be the end of me
And I don’t need a house on a hill
A swing on a tree
Grandfather Clock
Porcelain for tea
A garden
With rose and Jasmine

Gonna get drunk on a bottle of wine
No better way to pass the time
Forever by your side

But I don’t wanna be a bride
Apologies to your mother
I wanna be your girl
And spend this life with you
But I don’t wanna wear white
You know it’s too late for that
But can we keep the ever after?
Oh could it be

Don’t need no golden ring
It’d be no match for the love it brings
From London
To Tennessee
We could
Catch a train to another life
On a whim, under the moonlight
I promise you
Will you promise me?

Our last names on a wooden sign
Arm in arm, where the river starts to wind
Forever by your side

But I don’t wanna be a bride
Apologies to each other
I wanna be your girl
And spend this life with you
But I don’t wanna wear white
Oh, you know it’s too late for that
But can we keep the ever after?
Oh could it be
Just you and me?

I, I, I
We will live like kings
Under lavender
Skies
Skies
We will live like kings
Under lavender
Skies
Skies

Built a poem, we kept a rhyme
Wrapped our love in golden twine
We wrote
We wrote a legacy
Just you and me

Just like kings under lavender
Skies
Skies
We will

T[中文歌詞翻譯] Carousel by Vanessa Carlton (Rabbits On The Run, 2011)

Vanessa Carlton Lyrics
"Carousel"

For all you broken-hearted lovers lost
Go find another one
'Cause you know time won't wait and you'll be late
White rabbits on the run

It's hard to know what's good for you
I know she let you down
But the fever breaks when it's too much to take
So you can put your weapons down

And all you'll hear is the music
And beauty stands before you
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, my friend

Never too late to change the pace
When the days creep up on you
But the goodness is something you don't have to chase
'Cause it's following you

And all you'll hear is the music
And beauty stands before you
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, my friend

Ooh, Oooh, Oooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh,ooh, oooh

[2x]
I thought I heard your voice in the thunder
It's the owl casting spells that we're under
I thought I heard your voice in the thunder
It's the owl casting spells that we're under

Under...

And all I hear is the music
And beauty stands before me
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, my friend

It's in the music
And beauty stands before you
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, a carousel
It's a carousel, my friend

Time won't wait, so don't be late
White rabbits on the run

T[中文歌詞翻譯] More Than This by Vanessa Carlton (Heroes & Thieves, 2007)

Vanessa Carlton Lyrics
"More Than This"

Cradling stones hold fire bright
As crickets call out to the moonlight
As you lean in to steal a kiss
I'll never need more than this

We all share the pain of our histories
But the ache goes away if you could see
This night under stars, well, I call it peace
If you say, I'll never need more than this

The trees grow so thick
You can barely see through
But the forest bestows the simplest of truths
You think you'll be happy if granted one more wish
But the truth is you'll never need more,
You'll never need more
You'll never need more than this

Want so much in this life,
There's so much to be
We sail through our youth so impatiently
Until we see
That the years move along
And soldiers and heroes come home
And they carry a song,

Don't live in forgotten times
May this always remind you
Of the sea under the skies blue looking glass
Let's make this our story, let's live in the glory
Time, it fades away,
Precious as a song
Cause someday we'll be gone

Cradling stones hold fire bright
As we watch the glow of the morning light
Someday our bones here they will lie, and so we sing

As the years move along and soldiers and heroes come home
And they carry a song
Let's make this our story,
Let's live in the glory
Time, it fades away,
Precious as a song
Cause someday we'll be gone

T[中文歌詞翻譯] Home by Vanessa Carlton (Heroes & Thieves, 2007)

Vanessa Carlton Lyrics
"Home"

Some people live in a house on the hill
And wish they were some place else
There's nobody there
When the evening is still
Secrets with no one to tell

Some I have known have a ship where they sleep with sounds of rocks on the coast
They sail over oceans five fathoms deep
But can't find what they want the most

Even now when I'm alone
I've always known with you
I am home

Some live in towns
Cardboard shack on concrete
All bluster and bustling life
They search for the color you can never quite see
Cause it's all white on white

Even now when I'm alone
I've always known with you
I am home
[repeat]

For me it's a glance and the smile on your face the touch of your hands,
And an honest embrace
For where I lay it's you I keep,
This changing world I fall asleep
With you all I know is I'm coming home,
Coming home

T[中文歌詞翻譯] Fools Like Me by Vanessa Carlton (Heroes & Thieves, 2007)

Vanessa Carlton Lyrics
"Fools Like Me"

Beware the danger it lurks for those who get swept away
The dreamers get punished most by truth
They say it's all in a little ways
One reveals their love's gone away,
Love's gone away

When my hand was in your hand
My heart was pure
Now I see a different man
Rewriting memories
The dogs run down the beach
And all I'm left with
Is sand in my shoes,
Sand in my shoes

Fools like me
We love blindly
And the cracks don't count
It's gotta break in front of me

Now I recall that time at the caf©,
The thunderstorm outside
Words you could never say,
They hold the loudest tones
You say you'll write
But it's ink on a page,
Just ink on a page

Fools like me
Oh we love blindly
And the cracks don't count
It's gotta break in front of me

Tic toc the time
Distant look grows in your eye
But fools never ask
Afraid of what lurks in your mind
I always knew, somehow, always knew
I always knew the truth

Fools like me
Oh we never see
Cause the cracks don't count
It's gotta break in front of me
And it's breakin',
It's breakin',
It's breakin'
It's gotta break for me to see

At least I can say
I was not afraid
I loved you all the way
I'd pick the fool any day
