Hope Lyrics (歌詞と 日本語の翻訳)
Hope
You left without a goodbye
あなたはさようならを言わずに行ってしまった
Not a good reason why
理由がないのに
Just an hour before midnight
12時になる前に
I can't understand why you'd run
どうしておれの前から消えたの
I thought we were having fun
楽しい時間を過ごしたのに
I just hope it turns out alright
すべてうまくなるといいな
More, I always asked you for more
いつも頼ってばかりだった
But how do you keep the score?
あなたはどう思っていたの
Am I getting the questions right?
間違ったことを聞いているか
Clear, it's never been very clear
いつも素直じゃない (曖昧)
But what I can see from here
ここから見える暗闇は
Is the dark makes the stars shine bright
星をもっと輝かせるんだ
And I remember the warm sunlight
ぼくは太陽の温もりを覚えている
I just hope it turns out alright
すべてうまくなるといいな
Can't you remember the way that it was in the start?
私たちのスタートを覚えていないの?
I never believed you and me would be this far apart
こんなはずじゃなかったのに
Truth
実は
If I could leave here today
できることなら
I think I'd go right away
今すぐ行きたい
But I guess that it's just not right
でもいけない
I'm lost, 'cause I can't hear your tune
あなたの歌が聞こえなくなったからぼくは迷子になった
Please come back to me soon
早く戻ってきて
I'll be staying up late tonight
あなたを寝ずに待っている
'Cause I remember the warm sunlight
ぼくは太陽の温もりを覚えている
I just hope it turns out alright
すべてうまくなるといいな
Can't you remember the way that it was in the start?
私たちのスタートを覚えていないの?
I never believed you and me would be this far apart
こんなはずじゃなかったのに
I just hope it turns out alright
すべてうまくなるといいな

Back to Winnipeg
Here's the gun I polish everyday
When the day is slow
Slow like Hemingway
Then the glow down in the basement
Messed with the goverment
What kind of world is this
Kind of crappy anyway
Kind of crappy anyway
I got a class in origami
Folding big A3's
'Cause I don't really need
To get a dosage of reality
From an anime
On a big screen plasma TV
A big screen plasma TV
So I say,
Hey, hey, hey
I got a feeling if I don't leave now I might be here to stay
Hey, hey, hey
That's it, Back to Winnipeg
This view of life is all that I can see
Live from a train window
At least primarily
I'm rushing on to the next fantasy
Put on my holy robe, get my cheque, and I leave
This cheque ain't make believe
I got a copy of the Bushido
But it's just sitting there
Because it's just for show
But I know that don't really matter though
Because it's all a show
We talk a lot more than we actually know
That's just the way we roll...
So I say...

Which Road Takes Me Home
Everybody gets to sow a few wild oats
Well I never sowed none
And I’ll be damned if the thought doesn’t haunt me
That I should have had more fun
One can never know
It’s like
I held the pearl, let it slip through my fingers
Like it was worthless
And I know I can never go back now
‘Cause I did it on purpose
But I’m missing home
You’ll see that I’m messed up with you
You’re my best answer to the question, still unknown
Which road takes me home
People wonder why it’s always a sad song
Well, you write what you know I guess
But there’s nothing worse than a prince in a castle
Who’s always chronically depressed
Putting on a show
I’m the one, I’m the guy you should talk to
I’m like my own little dream museum
I’ve got ideas and they’re gonna change everything
Just wait ‘til you see them
I’ll be doing them tomorrow
You’ll see that I’m messed up with you
You’re my best answer to the question, still unknown
Which road takes me home

Loveletter
I put my ear to the ground, tried to stop and listen
But there’s something left out, there's something I'm missing
We were in the back row there was holding and kissing
Now I'm sucking a pepsi in the intermission
But this is the path to love you say,
Just rattle the windows, and go away
Like a bomb going off far away
It'll turn your head, but not wreck your day
Because where it blows no one knows
You just plant the rose and hope it grows
A broken heart, a bloody nose
You're just keeping me on my toes
I talk a lot because I think that I know stuff
I don't sleep too much but I dream like Joseph
But in dreams it seems that I'm wearing handcuffs
Your kiss is soft, but your touch is rough
You want to be chased; you don’t want to be caught
It was all for love, but now it’s all forgot
And you won’t be bribed and you won’t be bought
Do I make you out to be something you’re not?
Because where it blows no one knows
You just plant the rose and hope it grows
A broken heart, a bloody nose
You're just keeping me on my toes
So how do I play these cards I hold?
Am I getting closer or just getting old?
Because the silence is just like gold -
It's of the greatest worth, and hard and cold
By the time I send this I might have lost it
I'm enjoying my time here but I don't really fit
When we stand, I'll stand, and when we sit, I'll sit
But I can't say I care for it
Because where it blows no one knows
You just plant the rose and hope it grows
A broken heart, a bloody nose
You're just keeping me on my toes

The Greatest Thing
Just the words I had heard too many times
And I’d seen the mountains fall into the ocean
But that just left me here gasping for life
So I turned to the prophet who fathomed all the mysteries
Who never lacked in faith or charity
He spoke in many tongues of men and angels
But he never said anything to me
I was doing what you told me to
You never asked me for my point of view
But I know about the greatest thing and that’s truth to me
Now this window’s so cloudy
And I can’t tell what I see,
Maybe shrouded in synthetic mystery
Of one too many prayers in front of one too many temples
You’re hiding all the truth that even you can’t see
I was doing what you told me to
You never asked me for my point of view
But I know about the greatest thing and that’s truth to me
