There's a big white house on a leafy street 有一个白色的大房子，在一个绿树成荫的街道

On a summer's day of 1963 在1963年的夏天的一天

Dents in the fender and wood on the side 在上侧的翼子板和木凹痕

There's kids and dogs and instamatic cubes squinting hard in the sun 有孩子和狗INSTAMATIC冰块在阳光下眯眼硬

They'll be chasing what's already gone 他们会追什么的已经走了

   

You grow up tall and you grow up tough 你长大了身材高大，你长大了艰难

Trying to never admit not feeling good enough 尝试永远不会承认没有感觉不够好

Until you find your passion and you find your way 直到你找到你的激情，你会发现你的路

Just trying to make it unscathed through every day 只需要把它毫发无损，通过每一天

And it seems to happen nearly overnight 它似乎发生在一夜之间几乎

Life shows you who you've become 生活告诉您你已经成为谁

And there's no more mystery in the fading light 还有的在暮色中没有更多的神秘感

You're just chasing what's already gone 你只是在追逐什么的已经走了

   

Like the line that spells the far horizon 这样的法术远处地平线的行

Moving with you as fast as you can run 移动与您一样快，你可以运行

Half your life you pay it no attention 上半年你的生活，你付出丝毫不以为意

The rest you can't stop wondering 你不能停止想知道剩下的

Saw my father in a dream last night 看到了我的父亲在梦中昨晚

He was smiling and saying "You're gonna be all right" 他微笑着说：“你会没事的”

And this morning I stared back at myself 今天早上我盯着自己

Feeling as empty as I've ever felt 我曾经觉得感情是空的

But I keep on going and I hope I've learned 但是，我继续走，我希望我所学到

More of what's right than what's wrong 更多的东西是正确的比出了什么问题
