I saw you on the street today 我看到你今天在街上

I could not catch your eye or you'd have heard me say 我没听清楚你的眼睛或者你已经听我说

That you look just the same 你看一样

But then I realized 后来我才知道

We are not even friends and I was so surprised 我们甚至不是朋友，我很惊讶

When the teardrops came 当泪珠来了

   

I'm living in the past 我活在过去

Living in the past 活在过去

Living in the past, I know 活在过去，我知道

But the past is gone 但是过去的已经一去不复返了

   

I can't remember when 我不记得

You didn't cross my mind and pull me back again 你没过我的脑海，然后再次把我拉回来

Into my reverie 进入我的遐想

And that's why I'm living in the past 这就是为什么我活在过去

   

And I gaze out the window as the world drifts by 我凝视着窗外的世界由漂移

And my eyes will glaze and I slip away 而我的眼睛会釉，我溜走

   

And my todays are gray, the seconds tick away 我今天是灰色的，秒流逝

But if I close my eyes it's only yesterday 但是，如果我闭上眼睛，这只是昨天

And I see rainbows surrounding you and me 而且我看到彩虹围绕着你和我

But that was in the past 但是，这是在过去的

I know it was the past 我知道这是过去
