Future Kids

When I was a kid, I made a book
孩提時代，我做了本冊子
Planning out how my future would look
寫滿了對於未來的展望
I drew in pictures of houses with views
寫滿了對於未來的展望
Two swings in the backyard, one pink and one blue
後院裡的兩個鞦韆，一粉一藍
Now that I'm older I wish I could see
現在時過境遷，我希望我能夠見到
A world where that still made sense to me
一個仍能將我包容的新世界
'Cause if my future kids end up like me
只因若是我未來的孩子們仍會同我一樣
They won't get to sleep earlier than three
他們會不眠不休
They'll be thinking 'bout how they can be
他們會憧憬起燦爛的未來
Better than they are, taking it too far
做著些白日夢想，幼稚可笑
Trying to change the things I love the most about them
叛逆的將我所曾珍視的一切品質拋棄
And I don't think I could ever stand to see that happen, no
可我覺得或許我見不到這一天
I was too young when I picked out their names
為他們起名之時，我也一樣懵懂無知
And wrote them at the top of every page
然後孜孜不倦的將它們寫滿了每一頁
'Cause I don't know I would grow up to hate
只因我不知何時我會開始自厭
The way that I look in my size and my shape
在心裡將自己的一切看的一文不值
I wish I could make sure that they never see
我希望他們永遠無法看見
Themselves in the same way that I see me
我希望他們永遠無法看見
'Cause if my future kids end up like me
只因若是我未來的孩子們仍會同我一樣
They won't get to sleep earlier than three
他們會不眠不休
They'll be thinking 'bout how they can be
他們會憧憬起燦爛的未來
Better than they are, taking it too far
做著些白日夢想，幼稚可笑
Trying to change the things I love the most about them
叛逆的將我所曾珍視的一切品質拋棄
And I don't think I could ever stand to see that happen, no
可我覺得或許我見不到這一天
I'll keep the book in a safe place
我會將這本書秘密藏起
'Cause I'm notquite ready to throw it away
只因我還未準備好將它拋棄
'Cause if my future kids end up like me
只因若是我未來的孩子們仍會同我一樣
They won't get to sleep earlier than three
他們會不眠不休
They'll be thinking 'bout how they can be
他們會憧憬起燦爛的未來
Better than they are, taking it too far
做著些白日夢想，幼稚可笑
Trying to change the things I love the most about them
叛逆的將我所曾珍視的一切品質拋棄
And I don' t think I could ever stand to see that happen, no
可我覺得或許我見不到這一天
