Perfect Timing

This perfect timing thing's a ghost I see before I sleep

所谓完美时机 不过是睡前幻影

A guarantee that's paper-thin a promise I can't keep

薄如纸的保证 我无力兑现的承诺

And the fear ain't gonna vanish man I'm finally aware

恐惧不会消散 我终于清醒

That regret is always heavier than failure in the air

空气中悔恨总比失败更沉重

Yeah I run through the playback a thousand times through

我将过往反复播放千百遍

Every wrong word I could say every move I could pull

预演所有可能说错的字句

I map out the exits before I walk in

踏入前就规划好所有退路

Count every single way that this whole thing could end

细数这件事可能终结的每种方式

And I wait for this feelin' this "I'm ready right now"

我总在等待那个"此刻我已准备好"的瞬间

But it's just a blank screen on my phone anyhow

可手机屏幕始终空白 徒留茫然

Yeah I build a whole fortress to keep myself safe

筑起重重堡垒将自己囚禁

And wonder why nothin' feels real in this place

又困惑为何此处万物皆虚妄

This perfect timing thing's a ghost I see before I sleep

所谓完美时机 不过是睡前幻影

A guarantee that's paper-thin a promise I can't keep

薄如纸的保证 我无力兑现的承诺

And the fear ain't gonna vanish man I'm finally aware

恐惧不会消散 我终于清醒

That regret is always heavier than failure in the air

空气中悔恨总比失败更沉重

But the world doesn't pause man it don't press rewind

世界不会暂停 更不会倒带重来

It just keeps on spinning leaves the hesitant behind

它只会不停转动 抛下犹豫徘徊

So "ready"is a fiction it's a story we're told

所谓"准备就绪"不过是虚构童话

To keep us all patient and quiet and cold

只为让我们安分守己 沉默听话

So I gotta say "yes"to the mess and the fall

我要对混乱与跌倒说"好"

Gotta say "no"to the voice that says "don't risk it at all"

对那个说"别冒险"的声音说"不"

Gotta chase that one thing that I can't leave alone

必须追逐那个无法放下的执念

Even if it means I do it all on my own

哪怕这意味着独自前行

This perfect timing thing's a ghost I see before I sleep

所谓完美时机 不过是睡前幻影

A guarantee that's paper-thin a promise I can't keep

薄如纸的保证 我无力兑现的承诺

And the fear ain't gonna vanish I am finally aware

恐惧从未消散 此刻我终于明了

That regret is always heavier than failure in the air

空气中悔恨总比失败更沉重

Heavier than failure

比失败更沉重

Promise I can't keep

无力兑现的承诺

Perfect timing's a ghost

完美时机如鬼魅

Gotta go

必须启程
