Ordinary Tune

Ordinary Tune - Skylar Grey

The poet's disgrace

诗人的耻辱

No words to rhyme with your face

没有辞藻能成为你面容的韵脚

I study the lines then

我研究你的诗句

I trace them back to Earth

然后在地球上寻找那些字句的痕迹

I could never listen

我无法聆听

To the ordinary tunes

世俗的曲子

You are something else

你是特别的存在

You are something else

你是特别的存在

I keep on trying

我一直在努力尝试

To throw my line in

想要做一首诗

Baited quiet

我轻轻地放下鱼饵

But you're not biting

你却从未留意

Anchors pulled in

船只启航

The sea is open

海洋变得开阔

Keep and even keel

保持平稳 匀速前进

Into the waves

在波涛海浪里

I never go with the grain

随波逐流

It always trips me

我总是磕磕碰碰

Up and makes me fall

不停跌倒

I could never listen

我无法聆听

To the ordinary tunes

世俗的曲子

You are something else

你是特别的存在

You are something else

你是特别的存在

It begins with my father

一开始是我的父亲

Getting in with my mother

然后遇见了我的母亲

Come on try it

来吧 试一试

You know you'll like it

你知道你会喜欢它的

Each day I'm wasting

我每一天都在蹉跎时间

Until you're tasting

直到你开始品味

My only danger

我唯一的危险

Is human nature

就是人的本性

And pirates at my heels

和紧跟着我的海盗船
