now i know

I thought it would be like poetry
这恍然若诗
That feeling of when eyes meet
当我们视线交汇
They said it would feel so easy
人们说这很容易
Like how a bird takes to the trees
就像鸟儿轻捷归树
They've written the songs and films and books
他们写歌，写电影，还写书
Of how it would take just one timely look
只为描述这恰到好处的一瞥
To dance and fall your way into love
让人如何舞步蹁跹曳入爱情
And that's how you'll know he's the one
这就是你蓦然发觉他是唯一的时刻
It feels like way back when
但这已成往事
I wish I had known it then
当时我要是明了就好了
There's no such thing as a soulmate
没有所谓的灵魂伴侣
Cause love is what you make of it
因为爱情需要自己把握
I think I've got a taste of it
我想我仅浅尝爱情的甘醴
I wish I had known all of this before
我要是早知道这一切就好了
I wish I had known, but at least now I know
我希望我早知道，但至少现在我已释然
I thought summer vacation would never end
我想这长夏永未消散
That feeling of sinking toes in the sand
这感觉就像脚趾慢慢浸没在细沙里
They said to enjoy it while you can
人们说要活在当下
But those words never seemed to land
但这总不现实
It feels like way back when
即使这已成往事
I wish I had known it then
但我还是无法释怀
That time is the quickest of thieves
时间真的是手法最高明的窃贼
She won't ever be caught by nobody
没人能抓住她
She'll run all the way to eternity
她不停地跑啊跑，直到永永远远
I wish I had known all of this before
多希望我之前就全然明了
I wish I had known, but at least now I know
我希望我早知道，但至少现在我知道了
It feels like way back when
事情过了很久
I wish I had known it then
还是希望当时知道就好了
That soon we'll be gone with a final breath
不久生命即将走到尽头
And there won't be time to hold onto regrets
那时也没有时间再去后悔
But I know there's something on the other end
但我知道另一个世界还有许多等待我去经历
I wish I had known all of this before
我希望当时我就全然明了
I wish I had known, but at least now I know
我希望我早知道，但至少现在我知道了
I wish I had known, but at least now I know
时常抱憾，但至少现在我要让它随风去
