I met a man back in the future 我在将来遇到一个人背

He was high then he was low 他是高，那么他的低

You know his one consideration 你知道他的一个代价

Should he come or should he go 如果他来或他应该去

   

I met a girl she wants to give me 我遇到了一个女孩，她想给我

The gift of living just for today 生活就在今天的礼物

Ignore the past ignore the future 忽略过去忽略未来

You're only going to wish your life away - say 你只是希望你的生活了 - 说

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

Why can't today be tomorrow 为什么不是今天就是明天

Why must there be yesterday 为什么一定昨日会有

Why can't today be tomorrow 为什么不是今天就是明天

Oh tell me why please tell me why 哦，告诉我为什么，请告诉我为什么

Are you wishing your life away? 你希望你的生活了吗？

   

You know that life is no rehearsal 你知道，人生没有彩排

You're never going to get it right 你永远不会得到它的权利

It's inconsistent and it's imperfect 这是不一致的，这是不完美的

It's going to give you sleepless nights 这将让你夜不能寐

   

And then you find you wake up nervous 然后你发现你醒来紧张

For every reason under the sun 对于每一个理性的阳光下

Life is full of indecision 生命是充满优柔寡断

It's the same for everyone - say 这是每个人都一样 - 说

Why must there be yesterday - so tell me 为何要有昨天 - 所以告诉我

Why can't today be tomorrow - oh tell me 为什么不是今天就是明天 - 哦，告诉我

Why can't today be tomorrow 为什么不是今天就是明天

Are you wishing you're life away 你希望你走是生活
