Do those moments replay for you? 难道那些时刻重播的吗？

Sometimes I think of all the people who lived here before us 有时我想，所有谁住这里，看到眼前的人

How the spaces in the memories you make change the room from just blueprints 如何在回忆的空间让你改变房间的只是蓝图

To the place where you live 你住的地方，

On hardwood floor in the living room 就在客厅硬木地板

Tore the carpet the scratches below that we found 撕地毯的划痕下面，我们发现

And the wine stain on the couch 而在沙发上的葡萄酒色斑

And I can’t tell what the difference is between the ones that we made and the ones that we didn’t make 我不能告诉不同的是，我们做的那些和那些我们没有做什么之间

They all conjure images still 他们都变出图像仍

Where you sit and you read in the sunlight aware that I watch 你坐在哪里，你看在阳光下清楚，我看

   

And I live alone now 而我独自生活，现在

Save for the echoes 除回响
