《重新開始》

Took a deep breath in the mirror

He didn’t like it when I wore high heels

But I do

Turned the lock and put my headphones on

He always said he didn’t get this song

But I do， I do

Walked in expecting you’d be late

But you got here early and you stand and wave

I walk to you

You pulled my chair out and helped me in

And you don’t know how nice that is

But I do

And you throw your head back

*Laughing like a little kid

I think it’s strange that you think I’m funny

’Cause he never did

I’ve been spending the last eight months

Thinking all love ever does

Is break and burn and end*

But on a Wednesday in a café

I watched it begin again

You said you never met one girl

Who has as many James Taylor注 records as you

But I do

We tell stories and you don’t know why

I’m coming off[成為] a little shy

But I do

But you throw your head back

Repeat*

But on a Wednesday in a café

I watched it begin again

And we walk down the block to my car

And I almost brought him up

But you start to talk about the movies

That your family watches every single Christmas

And I won’t talk about that for the first time

What’s past is past

’Cause you throw your head back

Repeat*

Then on a Wednesday in a café

I watched it begin again

Then on a Wednesday in a café

I watched it begin again

鏡子里的我深深地吸了一口氣

他不喜歡我穿高跟鞋

但是我喜歡

我鎖上門，戴上耳機

他總是說他聽不懂這首歌

但是我懂，我懂

進去時還以為你會遲到

但你早就到了，站起來向我招手

我朝你走去

你拉開椅子，請我入座

你不知道這有多禮貌

但是我知道

而你前合后仰

*笑得像個孩子

真奇怪，你竟覺得我幽默

因為他從不這么想

在過去的八個月里

我一直覺得愛情不外乎是

讓人心碎，痛苦焚身，黯然消逝*

但是在周三的咖啡館里

我看著愛火重燃

你說你從未遇到哪個女孩的

詹姆斯·泰勒的碟藏和你一樣多

但我就有這么多

我們講述往事，你不明白

我為什么有點害羞

但我確實害羞

但你前合后仰

重復(fù)*

但是在周三的咖啡館里

我看著愛火重燃

我們走過街區(qū)，來到我的車旁

我差點就要提起他

但你聊起電影

你們家每個圣誕節(jié)都會看的片子

我第一次沒再提那段感情

過去的就讓它過去吧

因為你前合后仰

重復(fù)*

后來在周三的咖啡館里

我看著愛火重燃

后來在周三的咖啡館里

我看著愛火重燃

歌的故事

早在她的第四張錄音室大碟正式面世之前，鄉(xiāng)村小天后Taylor Swift就陸續(xù)發(fā)布了好幾首單曲，都取得了相當(dāng)不錯的打榜成績。誰都聽得出Taylor致力于轉(zhuǎn)型，就像她換了更有小清新氣息的清爽直發(fā)一樣，這張全新專輯不但更有流行味兒，還增加了諸如電子混音之類的時尚元素。要說轉(zhuǎn)型，其實也是必然，小女生終有一天會長大，不能總把冰激凌般單純的甜膩愛情掛在嘴邊；從單曲的排位來看，市場對Taylor的改變顯然挺買賬的。但很多歌迷——包括我，也許是因為比較old-fashioned，聽了一圈下來，最喜歡的還是像《重新開始》這樣純粹干凈的鄉(xiāng)村風(fēng)，不加虛飾，毫無花巧，素面朝天地將一個很日常、很普通、很平凡、仿佛就發(fā)生在你我身邊的愛情片段娓娓道來……
