I've been livin in a room without windows 我一直活着在一个没有窗户的房间

Away from the sun, no oxygen 远离阳光，没有氧气

I couldn't tell if it was day or night 我不知道如果是白天还是夜晚

Away from the sun, growing nowhere fast 远离太阳，生长快无处

Rushing along on the pavement 沿着人行道上冲

Don't even look at the people's faces, going places 甚至不看别人的脸，去的地方

   

When an old man said stop 当一个老人说停止

You nearly stepped on a flower 你差点踩到了花

Growing through the cracks 通过裂缝成长

And you didn't even notice 而你甚至没有注意到

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

Wake up smell the roses 醒来闻到玫瑰

Life is happening and you don't know it 生活中正在发生的事情，你不知道它

Wake up, take a moment 醒醒吧，花一点时间

Grab it in your hands... and own it 抢在手中...... ，并拥有它

   

I realise our love is like that flower 我知道我们的爱情就是这样的花

Been neglecting the thing most precious to me 被忽略的东西最珍贵的我

You've been talking but I haven't been listening 你一直在说，但我没有在听

The static in the noise been drowning you out 在噪声静被淹没了你

I so wanna be in the future 本人谨此想在未来

That I keep tripping 我继续跳

   

Over my own shoe laces 在我自己的鞋带

In these human races 在这些人种

And i'm brought back to now 而且我带回来到现在

And the volume goes down 和音量下降

There's peace in his words as loud as a shout sayin' 有和平，他的话一样大声喊说

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

He says 他说，

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

Like your birthday I forgot 喜欢你的生日，我忘了

I was with you 我与你

But I was not... really there 但我并没有...真有

Snap your fingers, that's your life 捕捉你的手指，这就是你的生活

Not gonna let it pass my by no 不会让这绝不通过我

When an old man said stop 当一个老人说停止

You nearly stepped on a flower 你差点踩到了花

Growing 成长

Through the cracks 通过裂缝

And you didn't even notice 而你甚至没有注意到

   

[Chorus] [合唱]
