ONCE

【Say it to Me Now】

I'm scratching at the surface now

And I'm trying hard to work it out

So much has gone misunderstood

This mystery only leads to doubt

And I didn't understand

When you reached out to take my hand

And if you have something to say

You'd better say it now

Cause this is what you've waited for

Your chance to even up the score

And as these shadows fall on me now

I will somehow

Cause this is what you've waited for

A chance to even up the score

And as these shadows fall on me now

I will somehow

Cause I'm picking up a message Lord

And I'm closer than I've ever been before

So if you have something to say

Say it to me now

Say it to me now

Say it to me now

他是在城市街头一个抱着吉他唱得歇斯底里的人。她是穿梭在闹市区卖杂志的人。她过去扔给他一个十分硬币。当被问起是为谁写这首歌时，他说不为谁而写。她识破了他的谎言，他说她走了。十年前爱上的女孩，结果跟其他男人跑了，然而他说并不期待着她会回来，但是一直为她写歌。在晚上他还是一直在拨打着那个无人接听的号码，床头任然放着那个早就联系不上的人的照片。那么他是不是根本就无法忘记呢？该要有怎样的经历的人，才能听得懂他唱的情绪呢?

【falling slowly】

I don't know you

But I want you

All the more for that

Words fall through me

And always fool me

And I can't react

And games that never amount

To more than they're meant

Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home

We've still got time

Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice

You've made it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me

And I can't go back

Moods that take me and erase me

And I'm painted black

Well,You have suffered enough

And warred with yourself

It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home

We've still got time

Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice

You've made it now

Falling slowly sing your melody

I'll sing along

于是，在一家琴行他们开始了音乐的交流，第一次他们合作。他弹吉他，她弹钢琴，唱的是他写的歌。回去的公车上他第一次坦白，用吉他弹唱给她讲述那个故事。最喜欢那一句“I miss her,just……”没有掩饰，没有修饰，却将心里的那份思念描述得如此感人。

之后在她家里看到她的女儿，知道她的情况，明显他有点无奈跟不知所措。道别的时候，他们都说“thanks for the company.I need it.”他留下他的CD，她听得有点痴迷。

【if you want me】

Are you really sure that you’d believe me

when others say I lie

I wonder if you could ever despise me

when you know I really try

to be a better one to satisfy you

For your everything to me

and I’ll do what you ask me

if you’ll let me be, free

If you want me satisfy me,

if you want me satisfy me

If you want me satisfy me,

if you want me satisfy me

If you want me satisfy me,

if you want me satisfy me

她的声音，在深夜的街口，似乎可以到达每一个听的人的内心，if you want me ,satisfy me……我觉得，这样的句子，用英语表达，刚刚好的味道。

【Lies】

I think it's time, we give it up

And figure out what's stopping us

From breathing easy, and talking straight

The way is clear if you're ready now

The volunteer is slowing down

And taking time to save himself

The little cracks they escalated

And before you know it is too late

For making circles and telling lies

You're moving too fast for me

And I can't keep up with you

Maybe if you slowed down for me

I could see you're only telling

Lies, lies, lies

Breaking us down with your

Lies, lies, lies

When will you learn

The little cracks they escalated

And before you know it is too late

For making circles and telling lies

You're moving too fast for me

And I can't keep up with you

Maybe if you'd slowed down for me

I could see you're only telling

Lies, lies, lies

Breaking us down with your

Lies, lies, lies

When will you learn

So plant the thought and watch it grow

Wind it up and let it go

看着曾经的视频，曾经跟最爱的人在一起的种种，那时候的笑好真好甜。对于一个回忆过去的人来说，回忆越是美好，现实就越是残酷。看着视频，弹着吉他，回忆着过去，歇斯底里地唱出来的“lies lies lies……”

是不是曾经都是lie，就只是lie而已。念想着那个根本就无法忘记的人，为她写歌为她唱，为她失落为她狂。可是，到最后终于明白过去只是你美丽的谎言，这是一种怎样的卑微。

他终于决定去伦敦，找那个人，并且完成他的音乐梦想。在离开之前，他们合作，组了乐队，录制他们的专辑。

我总以为他会跟她在一起，成为那个孩子的爸爸。他带着她骑摩托出去散心，她告诉他自己的过去，结过婚，有一个两岁的孩子，可是孩子的爸爸，那个比她大很多的男人，走了。她不知道以后怎么办，她只知道他们距离太远了。距离远，可是还是爱。这种感情是没有办法控制的。突然想起一个朋友以前说过，你可以喜欢很多人，但是真正深爱的就只有一个。只是那个人出现过，其他人都会变成将就，只是，宁愿寂寞，也不愿将就。

【when your minds made up】
So

If you ever want something

You call, you call

And I'll come running

to fight

And I'll be at your door

And there's nothing

worth running for

When your mind is made up

When your mind is made up

There's no point trying to change it

When your mind is made up

When your mind is made up

There's no point trying to stop it

You see

you're just like everyone

When you share your falls

All you want to do is run away

And hide all by yourself

When there's fall, there's fall

There's nothing else

When your mind is made up

When your mind is made up

There's no point trying to change it

When your mind is made up

When your mind is made up

There's no point even talkin'

When your mind is made up

When your mind is made up

There's no point trying to fight it

When your mind,

your mind

oh~

There's no point trying to change it

When your

oh~

So

If you ever want something

Then you call, call

Then I'll come running

在录音棚里，开始的时候被工作人员看不起，但是，当被他的歌震撼到的时候，“well，it was nice”这是对他们最好的肯定。

【The Hill】　　

Walking up the hill tonight and you have closed your eyes

I wish I didn't have to make those mistakes and be wise

Please try to be patient and know that I'm still learning

I'm sorry that you have to see the strength inside me burning

Where are you my angel now don't you see me crying?

And I know that you can't do it all but you can't say I'm not trying

I'm on my knees in front of him but he doesn't seem to see me

But all his troubles on his minds, he's looking right through me

And I'm letting myself down. beside you this fire in you

And I wish that you could see that half my troubles too

Looking at you sleeping, I'm with the man I love

I'm still here weeping while the hours pass so slow

And I know that in the morning I'll have to let you go

And you'll be just a man once I used to know

And for these past few days someone I don't recognise

This isn't all my fault, when will you realise

Looking at you leaving, I'm looking for a sign

弹到一半，便再也唱不下去了，泣不成声，写给曾经的他的，可是他不懂。悲就悲在这，你付出那么多，爱得那么辛苦，可是他不懂。所以你的爱便与他无关，你只是辛苦地爱着他。她唱不下去的时候，他借给她肩膀，他安慰她，他说带她去伦敦，然后住漂亮的房子，她给他伴唱，唱片会大卖，她还可以带她的孩子过去。她问，我可以带我的妈妈过去吗？他沉默了。感情很多时候都是这样的，总是被一些很现实的事情给打败了。能被世俗打败的就不是爱，真的爱了就不会在乎其他的什么了。可是我是多么希望他们能在一起，我以为他们就真的能在一起了。去伦敦，有好的生活，有幸福的家庭，可以完成他们的梦想。好吧，我承认，我又天真了。

他走的前一晚，她跟孩子的爸爸通电话了，孩子的爸爸会过来跟他们一起生活。他也跟曾经的她通了电话，

她很高兴他过去伦敦。

在走的那个早上，他给她买了那架钢琴，他们第一次合作的钢琴。她的生活很平静，看似很幸福。也许，这对他们来说都是很好的结局。但是我看到他离开时的孤单身影、平静表情，就开始眼睛里有液体冒出来。我始终遗憾，她没有跟他一起走。也许我是偏执狂。
