Dreaming With My Eyes Open
I spent half my life on bended knee
我花了大半辈子跪着
Begging somebody to change
祈求某人做出改变
And the other half praying to god
另一半用来祈求上苍
That they never would
因为他们从来不曾改变
And all it got me was twice as lost
而我得到的却是失去的两倍
When it all turned out the same
当一切得到了相同的结局
But all that begging finally did somebody good
但最终这些祈求还是改善了某些人的生活
I used to dream all night
我曾经整夜整夜地做梦
Of a day that was gone
梦到已经逝去的日子
But come the morning light
但清晨的阳光
Forever from now on
随即而来
Gonna do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
我还是想睁开眼睛做梦
I'll do my looking back
然后回望过去
With my eyes closed
闭上眼
We can do some living
我们可以认真地经营生活
Or spend our whole life hoping?
或者在美好的愿望中消磨时光
In the end we'll left with
最终我们都会离去
The one we chose
以我们选择的那种方式一起
So I'll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
所以我还是想睁开眼睛做梦
Every time the world moved on
每天世界都在向前走着
I fell a little further behind
我感觉也走远了一点点
From running back or following someone home
当往回跑或者跟随别人的脚步时
Until I learned that one step forward
直到我发现每天向前走一步
Will take you further on
也能带着你向前走
Than a thousand back or a million that ain't
而一千次的回望却不会(带你向前)
Your own
I used to dream all night

I'll do my looking back
