After the breakup, 分手后，

I really thought we'd make up. 我真的以为我们会补上。

Give her a little time, I'd be on her mind 给她一点时间，我会在她的脑海里

And suddenly she'd wake up. 突然她醒了。

But today if you listen, 但今天，如果你听，

Softly off in the distance, 轻轻地关在远处，

Somewhere 'cross town, you can hear the sound 地方“跨镇，你可以听到声音

Of wedding bells ringing. 婚礼的钟声响起的。

And there's bird seed on the concrete, 还有的鸟种在水泥，

And she's waving goodbye 而她挥手告别

   

And they're driving away 而且他们驱赶

And everybody cheerin' them on as the taillights fade 每个人都cheerin 他们的尾灯消失

Yeah she's really gone, 是啊，她真的走了，

I thought someday that would be me 我想总有一天会是我

But now she's driving away in that limousine 但现在她在豪华轿车开走

And I'm holdin' on 而我牵着上

Like a tin can on a string. 就像一根绳子锡罐。

   

Somewhere in my mind, 某处在我的脑海里，

I'm the one by her side. 我是一个在她身边。

In that backseat, talkin' 'bout the beach 在这种后座，说话布特海滩

And that honeymoon flight. 和度蜜月的航班。

I'd play the whole thing out, 我打了整个事情了，

From the kids to the house, 从孩子到家里，

To the future that we always dreamed about. 为此，我们一直梦想着未来。

And back here in reality 而回到这里在现实中

And everybody cheerin' them on as the taillights fade 每个人都cheerin 他们的尾灯消失

But now she's driving away in that limousine 但现在她在豪华轿车开走

And I'm holdin' on 而我牵着上

Like a tin can on a string. 就像一根绳子锡罐。
