I'm buckle in my seat belt, plug my headset in a chair 我扣在我的安全带，插上我的耳机在椅子上

And to the music, I watch flight attendants move 和着音乐，我看空姐动

They are pointing out the exits, but it looks more like a prayer 他们指出了出口，但它看起来更像是一个祈祷

Or an ancient dance their bloodline reaches through 或一个古老的舞蹈直系血亲达到通过

   

These planes are built for sifting through the warriors from the men 这些飞机是专为通过从人的勇士筛选

I've got time to sit and watch them for a while 我有时间坐下来，看着他们一会

You can see everywhere they're going, everywhere they've been 你可以看到到处都是他们要去的地方，随处可见他们已经

And how they look out at the clouds each time they smile 以及他们如何在每次微笑时看着外面的云层

   

And I think, maybe he's in town for someone's birthday 我想，也许他在城里的人的生日

Maybe he makes trouble everywhere 也许他制造麻烦无处不在

But as much he resists the conversation between the rivers and the freeways 但正如很多他抗拒河流和高速公路之间的对话

He knows it's always there 他知道这是永远存在

   

As the northwest passage sits somewhere below me as I sleep 随着西北航道坐在某处下面我为我睡觉

I dream of captains and explorers eating boots 我的梦想船长和探险家吃的靴子

When I ask if I can join them and they offer one to me 当我问如果我能加入他们的行列，他们提供一个给我

I wake up as my home comes into view 我醒来的时候是我的家映入眼帘

   

So I reach out down for my notebook to see what impressions could be spun 所以，我伸手下来我的笔记本，看看有什么印象，可以纺

But it's just buildings and a million swimming pools 不过，这只是建筑和一百万个游泳池

So I leaf back through the pages to see where I am from 于是我回叶通过网页，看看我从那里来

Or for some crumbling map of what it's leading to 或对什么是导致一些摇摇欲坠的地图

   

And I find that the hero in this song that I am writing 而且我发现，英雄这首歌是我写

Doesn't know he's just an image of myself 不知道他自己只是一个形象

But as much he resists the conversation between the rivers and the freeways 但正如很多他抗拒河流和高速公路之间的对话

He's somehow always asking them for help 他不知何故总是向他们寻求帮助

   

I want to make out all the signs I've been ignoring 我要让所有我一直忽略了的迹象

How the trees reach for the sky or in the length of someone's hair 如何树木能飞上蓝天，或在人的头发的长度

'Cause when you don't know where you are going 因为当你不知道你要去哪里

Any road will take you there 任何道路会带你去

   

So maybe I'm in town for someone's birthday 所以也许我在城里的人的生日

Maybe I make trouble everywhere 也许我制造麻烦无处不在

But as much I resist the conversation between the rivers and the freeways 但随着多我抗拒河流和高速公路之间的对话

I know it's always there 我知道，它总是在那里
