They even looked at each other once across a crowded bar 他们甚至一度在拥挤的酒吧面面相觑

He was with Martha, she was with Tom 他与玛莎，她与汤姆

Neither of them really knew what was going on 两个人都没有真正知道发生了什么事情

Strange feeling of never 从未奇怪的感觉

Heartbeats becoming synchronized 心跳变得同步

and staying that way forever 和保持这样永远的

   

Most of the time it was just near misses 在大多数情况下，这只是有惊无险

Air kisses, once at a bookstore, once at a party 空中的吻，一次在书店，曾经在一次聚会

She came in as he was leaving 她走了进来，他离开

And years ago at the movies, she sat behind him 和几年前的电影，她坐在他后面

A 6:30 showing of 'While You Were Sleeping' à 6:30放映的“二见钟情

He never once looked around 他从来没有一次环顾四周

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

It's so easy from above 这是从上面那么容易

You can really see it all 你真的可以看到这一切

People who belong together 谁属于同一人

Lost and sad and small 失落和伤感，小

But there's nothing to be done for them 但是，有没有为他们做

It doesn't work that way 它不工作的方式

Sure we all have soulmates but we walk past them every day, oh no 当然我们每个人都有知音，但我们每天都走过他们，哦，不

   

And it's not like they were ever actually unhappy in the lives they lived 它不是像他们在他们居住的生活其实过不愉快

He married Martha, she married Tom 他娶了玛莎，她嫁给了汤姆

Just this vague notion that something was wrong 就在这个模糊的概念，什么是错的

A naked absence, a phantom limb 一个赤裸的情况下，幻肢

An itch that could never be scratched 可能永远不会被划伤痒

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

Neither of them knew what was going on 他们都不知道发生了什么事情

A strange feeling of never 永不一种奇怪的感觉

Heartbeats becoming synchronized 心跳变得同步

And staying that way forever 和保持这样永远的

   

Who knows whether that's how it should be 谁知道这是应该的

Maybe our ghosts live in that vacancy 也许我们的鬼住在那个空缺

   

Maybe that's how books get written 也许这就是书如何获得书面

Maybe that's why songs get sung 也许这就是为什么歌曲得到传唱

Maybe we owe the unlucky ones 也许我们欠不幸者

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

Maybe that's how books get written 也许这就是书如何获得书面

Maybe that's why songs get sung 也许这就是为什么歌曲得到传唱

Maybe we owe the unlucky ones [x2] 也许我们欠不幸者[X2]
