【Tom Walker – Leave a Light On】

[Verse 1]
The second someone mentioned you were all alone

在某個人提起你現在孤單無依的瞬間
I could feel the trouble coursing through your veins

我幾乎能感覺到在你血液裡肆虐的那些惡魔
Now I know, it's got a hold

現在我知道 它攫住你了
Just a phone call left unanswered, had me sparking up

打了通沒被接聽的電話 我點燃了根菸
These cigarettes won't stop me wondering where you are

但這些煙捲無法讓我不苦苦思索你現在在哪裡
Don't let go, keep a hold

別放棄 撐著點

[Pre-Chorus]
If you look into the distance, there's a house upon the hill

如果你看向遠方 在遙遠的山丘上 有一幢房子
Guiding like a lighthouse to a place where you'll be

像座燈塔一樣 引導你到你該去的地方
Safe to feel our grace 'cause we've all made mistakes

一個安全的地方 體會到人生充滿恩典 因為我們都曾犯錯
If you've lost your way...

如果你迷失了方向…

[Chorus]
I will leave the light on

我會留盞燈給你
I will leave the light on

我會留盞燈給你
I will leave the light on

我會留盞燈給你
I will leave the light on

我會留盞燈給你

[Verse 2]
Tell me what's been happening, what's been on your mind

告訴我發生了什麼事 而你心裡又在想些什麼
Lately you've been searching for a darker place

最近你努力找尋著一個更陰暗的地方
To hide, that's alright

去躲藏 不過那沒關係
But if you carry on abusing, you'll be robbed from us

但如果你繼續沉淪 你將離我們越來越遠
I refuse to lose another friend to drugs

我拒絕再因為毒品失去任何朋友
Just come home, don't let go

回家吧 別放棄
 

[Pre-Chorus]
If you look into the distance, there's a house upon the hill

如果你看向遠方 在遙遠的山丘上 有一幢房子
Guiding like a lighthouse to a place where you'll be

像座燈塔一樣 引導你到你該去的地方
Safe to feel our grace 'cause we've all made mistakes

一個安全的地方 體會到人生充滿恩典 因為我們都曾犯錯
If you've lost your way...

如果你迷失了方向…

 [Chorus]
I will leave the light on

我會留盞燈給你
I will leave the light on

我會留盞燈給你
I will leave the light on

我會留盞燈給你
I will leave the light on

我會留盞燈給你
I will leave the light on

我會留盞燈給你

[Outro]
If you look into the distance, there's a house upon the hill

如果你看向遠方 在遙遠的山丘上 有一幢房子
Guiding like a lighthouse to a place where you'll be

像座燈塔一樣 引導你到你該去的地方
Safe to feel our grace 'cause we've all made mistakes

一個安全的地方 體會到人生充滿恩典 因為我們都曾犯錯
If you've lost your way... (I will leave the light on)
如果你迷失了方向…(我會留盞燈給你)

And I know you're down and out now, but I need you to be brave

我知道你現在失落心如槁木 但我需要你堅強起來
Hiding from the truth ain't gonna make this all okay

轉過頭去躲避事實不會讓一切好起來
I feel your pain if you don't feel our grace

你的痛苦 我感同身受 如果你感覺不到希望
And you've lost your way

而且迷失了方向
I will leave the light on

我會留盞燈給你
I will leave the light on

我會留盞燈給你
'Cause I will leave the light on

因為我會留盞燈給你

【TC Time】

這首歌真的非常非常非常之容易中毒

旋律的衝擊性很夠

Tom的歌曲在這裡又展現出了更多層次

而MV也把歌詞的意境闡述得很好

吸毒的朋友像漂流在罪惡的茫茫大洋

不知道身在何處

不知道如何回頭

走頭無路只能越陷越深

但就像歌詞裡說的

大家都只是人 我們都會犯錯

不要再逃避事實 勇敢承擔後果

當你回過頭你會發現

其實那些愛你的人沒有離開過

你看向遠方 山坡上一盞搖曳的微弱燈光

你會發現

有人還在苦苦等你回家
