You turned to me and asked me if I'd always be your boy 你转向我，问我，如果我永远是你的小男孩

As we drove across the river into western Illinois 当我们开车过江到伊利诺伊州西部

And on the railroad bridge, half a mile of solid steel 实心钢及铁路桥，半英里

Wheels were spitting out sparks, scraping at the rails 车轮被吐出火花，刮在轨道

   

Wind in your hair, alright 风在你的头发，好吗

Sunset spilling through the rear window 夕阳洒透过后窗

Your white t-shirt hugging your shoulders 你的白T恤抱着你的肩膀

Beaded with sweat 披挂着汗水

   

On the day that I become so forgetful 事发当天，我变得如此健忘

That all of this melts away 这一切融化

I will burn all the calendars that counted the years down 我会烧毁一切计算的年下来日历

To such a worthless day 这种毫无价值的一天

   

As we walked across the parking lot towards the motel office 当我们走过停车场往汽车旅馆办公室

We were walking with a benediction on us 我们走对我们的祝福

Light was everywhere, the building stood against the sky 光线是无处不在，建筑站着对着天空

Like a monument to desperation, two floors high 像纪念碑无奈之下，两层高

   

A mile and a half from the river 一英里半的时间从河

We went back to the car to get our overnight bags 我们又回到了车上，让我们的通宵袋

Sunset spilling through your earrings 夕阳洒通过你的耳环

All over your body 所有在你的身体

   

When we shut the motel room door behind us 当我们关上了旅馆房间的门在我们身后

We knew we'd hit the motherlode 我们知道我们会打motherlode

On the day that I forget you 事发当天，我忘了你

I hope my heart explodes 我希望我的心脏爆炸
