Be Careful What You Wish For
Couldn't wait to ride out of that one horse town
迫不及待想逃離這鄉鎮,出去闖蕩一番
Didn't see no use in sticking around
因為繼續呆在鄉里注定沒出息
I was green and busting at the seems to leave
畢竟仍是少年,對於離別還是會惴惴不安
I was sitting on G,waiting on O
少年心氣,志懷意滿,得隴望蜀
The day I hit eighteen,I hit the road
18歲的第一天,踏上征程的第一天
Traded that county maintain for a four lane city street
在城市的大道中穿梭,疲於奔命
But sometimes things ain't what you think they're gonna be
才懂得了,有時候事會與願違
What you want ain't always what you need
所願往往非吾所需
Don't know what you got 'til it's gone
待失去方知曾所得
And you're out on your own
現在你逃離了家鄉,你一個人自由了
And you want is what you can't get back
卻又想回到過去平靜悠閒的生活,卻已回不去了
Once you let it go, then you know what you had
只有等到失去時,才明白曾經到底擁有過什麼
Don't hole a candle to what you had
繁複的城市根本比不上寧靜的家鄉
Sometimes what you think you'll find
有時候,你認為你將會找尋到的
It ain't quite what real life has in store
可能並不存在於真實的生活中
So be careful what you wish for
所以三思所願,以免徒增遺憾
She was holding on just a little too tight
她過去太過堅持以至於有點偏執
Talked a little too much about the rest of our lives
過多地談論我倆的未來,讓我厭煩
I broke her heart thinking freedom would set me free
所以我選擇了離開她以獲取自由,還天真地以為這種自由會讓我內心解脫
Well sometimes things ain't what you think they're gonna be
可是有時事與願違,我並沒有得到想像中解脫的感覺
Don't know what you got 'til it's gone
待失去方知曾所得,現在我好想她
And you're out on your own
現在我逃離她的碎碎念了,我一個人自由了
All you want is what you can't get back
可是現在自由的我是多麼渴望她的束縛
Once you let it go, then you know what you had
只有等到失去時,才明白曾經到底擁有過什麼
Don't hole a candle towhat you had
現在的生活完全無法和有她的生活爭輝
Sometimes what you think you'll find
有時候你所追求所執著的
It ain't quite what real life has in store
並不等於生活啊
So be careful what you wish for
所以三思所願,以免徒增遺憾
'Cause these city lights can't shine quite like the stars
因為城市的霓虹可能並不如鄉村的星空耀眼
I wish I could wish her back into my arms
哎,我是多希望能再抱抱她
Don't know what you got 'til it's gone
待失去方知曾所得
And you're out on your own
我逃離她的緊箍咒了,我一個人自由了
All you want is what you can't get back
驀然回首,卻再也無法挽回她了
Once you let it go, then you know what you had
只有等到失去時,才明白曾經到底擁有過什麼
Don't hole a candle to what you had
現在的生活完全無法和有她的生活爭輝
Sometimes what you think you'll find
有時候,你悶頭往前追尋的東西
It ain't quite what real life has in store
可能並不是真正的生活啊
And you can't get her back no more
悟已往之不諫
So be careful what you wish for
願你們能三思來者可追之事
Be careful what you wish for
三思來者可追之事
