[Verse 1] [诗歌1 ]

I just want you to know that I'm stuck in your soul 我只是想让你知道，我被困在你的灵魂

Funny how last week I thought it couldn't be so 有趣的是，上周我认为它不可能如此

What I see in your eyes words can't come close 我在你眼中看到的话不能接近

No matter what your father says I just want you to know 不管你的父亲说，我只是想让你知道

That you're a beautiful person, and I want you to grow 你是一个美丽的人，我希望你长大

The way he talks to you's just so inappro 他跟你说话的方式只是这么inappro

I hope that you're strong, when he's doing you wrong 我希望你坚强，当他这样做，你错了

And I hope you find comfort in the words of these songs 我希望你能找到安慰这些歌曲的歌词

Now sing along and while I tell you this story just listen closely 现在，一起唱，虽然我告诉你这个故事只是仔细听

I know you like my music but look, you don't really know me 我知道你喜欢我的音乐，但你看，你真的不认识我

See I live outside the city where there's nothing going on 看我住的城市，没有什么事情之外

I just look around for meaning while I'm sitting on my lawn 我只是看看周围的含义，而我坐在我的草坪

One day I met this girl and she was beautiful too 有一天，我遇到了这个女孩，她很漂亮太

I look closely at her eyes, a nice light shade of blue 我仔细一看她的眼睛，蓝色的漂亮的光影

She was still in high school, I was one year removed 她还在读高中，我1年删除

We're both a little older from the things we've been through 我们都是从我们经历过的事情有洁癖

Pretty soon I started seeing all the things he would do 不久，我开始看到所有的东西，他会做

She wasn't black and blue but emotionally bruised 她不是遍体鳞伤，但在感情上伤痕累累

It made me so mad I didn't know what to do 这让我很生气，我不知道该怎么办

Told her no matter what, I'mma be there for you 告诉她，不管是什么，我就要在那里等你

But as things became more hectic in my life I started fadin' out 但随着事情在我的生活变得更加忙碌，我开始fadin 出来

Began to lie to her, I wasn't fair to her, I hate it now 开始骗她，我是不公平的她，现在我恨它

I hope that you can understand my honesty 我希望你能理解我的诚实

I really fuckin' wanna knock that dude out honestly 我真的他妈的想敲那家伙出来说实话

You don't have to believe it but I think about you every day 你不必去相信它，但我想你每一天

I sing about you every way cause you're the perfect melody 我唱你各方面都因为你是最完美的旋律

I know the world ain't perfect but to me you were my everything 我知道世界并不完美，但对我来说，你是我的一切

My little light of sunshine I'm holdin' on for better days 我的小光的阳光，我牵着上更好的日子

   

[Hook] [钩]

I pray for better days 我祈求更好的日子

I know what has to happen I'm away 我知道有事情发生，我走

I know in my life I've made mistakes 我知道，在我的生命里，我犯过错误

But I'm holdin' on for better days 但我牵着上更好的日子

[Verse 2] [诗歌2]

I wanna go back where we were sittin' at that ice cream shop 我想回去的地方，我们都正坐在那个冰淇淋店

I'm lookin' at you in your eyes I'm feelin' like my heart has stopped 我看着你的眼睛我感觉就像我的心脏已经停止

You laugh at me for gettin' soy peanut butter 你笑我刚开了大豆花生酱

Back then I thought (shit, nah) 当时我还以为（狗屎，全息）

I don't need no other person in my life and nothing else don't even matter to me 我不需要在我的生活并没有什么其他的没有其他人甚至都不重要，我

Maybe I'm so numb that nothin' bad can ever happen to me 也许我太麻木了没什么不好的都不能发生在我身上

Maybe I'm so evil I attract all of these tragedies 也许我太煞俺吸引所有这些悲剧

Maybe we're so graceful we create all of these masterpieces 也许我们是如此优美，我们创建所有这些杰作

So facetious we would laugh about it 所以开玩笑，我们会笑一下

Nobody can reach us for a half an hour sleepin' in my half-apartment we don't have to watch the news 没有人能达到我们一个半小时睡在我的一半的公寓，我们不必看新闻

I never felt more comfortable my face so close to you 我从来不觉得更舒服我的脸这么靠近你

And I'mma break it down for you 而我就要打破它给你

I think about you every day I sing about you every way cause you're the perfect melody 我每天都在唱你的每方式，我想你，因为你是个完美的旋律

I know the world ain't perfect but to me you were my everything 我知道世界并不完美，但对我来说，你是我的一切

My little light of sunshine I'm holdin' on for better days 我的小光的阳光，我牵着上更好的日子

   

[Hook] [钩]

I pray for better days 我祈求更好的日子

I know what has to happen I'm away 我知道有事情发生，我走

I know in my life I've made mistakes 我知道，在我的生命里，我犯过错误

But I'm holdin' on for better days 但我牵着上更好的日子

[X2] [ X2 ]

   

[Verse 3] [诗歌3 ]

What does it mean if I don't know what love feels like 这是什么意思，如果我不知道什么是爱情感觉

My parents got divorced when I was young so I just feel like 我的父母离婚了我年轻的时候，所以我只是觉得像

Examples that I have to look upon are probably not great 我必须仰望的例子可能并不大

Knowing you're in a similar position doesn't make it O.K. 认识你是在一个类似的位置不让它确定

I'm feeling like my goal is to make these blue skies turn grey 我感觉像我的目标是让这些蓝色的天空变成灰色

But in the blink of an eye it could go away 但是，在眨眼间就可能消失

So even if it's just for ten minutes I wanna drive around with you 因此，即使它只是十分钟我想和你带动周边

And think about our life in the present these are our better days 想想我们的生活，在目前这是我们的好日子

   

[Hook] [钩]

I pray for better days 我祈求更好的日子

I know what has to happen I'm away 我知道有事情发生，我走

I know in my life I've made mistakes 我知道，在我的生命里，我犯过错误

I pray for better days 我祈求更好的日子

I know what has to happen I'm away 我知道有事情发生，我走

I know in my life I've made mistakes 我知道，在我的生命里，我犯过错误

But I'm holdin' on for better days days days 但我牵着上更好的日子天天

   

[Outro] [尾奏]

The other day I was thinkin' like 有一天，我在想，像

How come you never make a happy song you know what I'm saying? 为什么你永远不会快乐的歌，你知道我在说什么？
