Like a crack in a wall 像在墙上的裂缝

Starting small, and grow in time 开始小，生长在时间

Read me your favourite line 阅读我你最喜欢的行

And he found someone who understands 而且他发现有人谁明白

The ticking, and the western man's need to cry 滴答滴答的，与西方男人的需要哭泣

He came back the other day, you know 他回来的那天，你知道

Some things in life may change 生活中有些事情可能会改变

And some things 有些东西

They stay the same 他们保持不变

   

Like time, there's always time 喜欢的时候，总是有时间

On my mind 在我心中

So pass me by, I'll be fine 所以，从我身边经过，我会没事的

Louder than before 比以前更响

Out of doors, and into stores with bigger names 走出门，进店有更大的名
