Well, as a child I mostly spoke inside my head 那么，作为一个孩子，我主要是讲我的脑海里

I had conversations with the clouds, the dogs, the dead 我与云，狗，死的对话

And they thought my broken, that my tongue was coated lead 他们认为我坏，我的舌头涂铅

But I just couldn't make my words make sense to them 但我就是不能让我的话有道理它们

If you only listen with your ears... I can't get in 如果你只是用你的耳朵听......我不能在

   

And I spent my evenings pullin' stars out of the sky 我花了我晚上普林星星的天空

And I'd arrange them on the lawn where I would lie 而且我安排他们在草地上，我会骗

And in the wind I'd taste the dreams of distant lives 而在风中我品尝远方生活的梦想

And I would dress myself up in them through the night 我会彻夜打扮自己在其中

While my folks would sleep in separate beds... and wonder why 虽然我的父母睡在两张单人床的房间......不知道为什么

   

And through them days I was a ghost atop my chair 并通过这些日子里，我是个鬼顶上我的椅子

My dad considered me a cross he had to bear 我爸认为我一个十字架，他不得不忍受

And in my head I'd sing apologies and stare 而在我的脑子里，我会唱的歉意顾盼

As my mom would hang the clothes across the line 由于我的妈妈会跨线挂衣服

And she would try to keep the empty... from her eyes 她会尽量保持空......从她的眼睛

   

So, then one afternoon I dressed myself alone 所以，后来有一天下午我独自一人穿着自己

I packed my pillowcase with everything I owned 我收拾我的枕套的一切我拥有

And in my head I said "goodbye," then I was gone 而在我的头上，我说“再见”，然后我走了

And I set out on the heels of the unknown 我载列于未知的高跟鞋

So my folks could have a new life of their own 所以，我的乡亲能有一个属于自己的新生活

So that maybe I could find someone 所以，也许我可以找人

Who could hear the only words that I'd known 谁也能听出我认识的唯一的话
