[00:00.03] Neither kind or unkind
[00:07.80] Neither absent or present
[00:15.24] Just a reflection
[00:19.23] It's just in the way we walk
[00:33.21] I walk to my father's metre, I walk with the old man's gait
[00:45.15] Down past the gasometer and through the estate
[00:57.60] Those miscalculated steps
[01:01.77] Now he's not so steady on his pins
[01:09.75] Those miscalculations
[01:13.50] He was never ready with his affection
[01:24.45] He walks with my grandfather's falter, he walks with the old man's gait
[01:38.01] Not that he ever knew him, just some guy staring at the school fence
[01:48.81] Those miscalculated steps
[02:00.54] None of us were so good at sums
[02:01.17] Those miscalculations
[02:02.46] With never the time to make our corrections
[02:21.72] And I lifted you up to get a better view.
[02:26.16] Your hip pressed against my cheek and your arm fell over the top of my head.
[02:32.52] Your fingers playing with my ear.
[02:36.54] And we looked at the same thing. And you were my boy.
[02:46.41] And then I sat you on the wall, leaned down on my elbows to be by your side.
[02:54.75] And you pointed and you told me of everything you could see.
[03:10.41] Those miscalculated steps
[03:14.46] None of us were so good at sums
[03:21.96] Those miscalculations
[03:23.46] With never the time to make our corrections
[04:02.94] Neither kind or unkind
[04:11.34] Neither absent or present
[04:18.81] Just a reflection
[04:23.13] It's just in the way we walk
歌词翻译
[00:00.03] 既不友善也不冷漠
[00:07.80] 既非缺席亦非在场
[00:15.24] 只是一道倒影
[00:19.23] 全在我们行走的姿态中
[00:33.21] 我踏着父亲的韵律行走 迈着老人般的步伐
[00:45.15] 经过煤气厂 穿过住宅区
[00:57.60] 那些失算的脚步
[01:01.77] 如今他步履不再稳健
[01:09.75] 那些计算错误
[01:13.50] 他从不擅表达温情
[01:24.45] 他带着祖父的蹒跚行走 迈着老人般的步伐
[01:38.01] 虽然素未谋面 只记得校门外凝视的身影
[01:48.81] 那些失算的脚步
[02:00.54] 我们都不精于算计
[02:01.17] 那些计算错误
[02:02.46] 永远来不及修正
[02:21.72] 我将你举高让你看清风景
[02:26.16] 你的髋骨贴着我脸颊 手臂垂落我发顶
[02:32.52] 手指轻抚我的耳廓
[02:36.54] 我们望着同一处风景 那时你是我的男孩
[02:46.41] 后来让你坐在墙头 我俯身肘支陪在你身旁
[02:54.75] 你指给我看 讲述目之所及的一切
[03:10.41] 那些失算的脚步
[03:14.46] 我们都不精于算计
[03:21.96] 那些计算错误
[03:23.46] 永远来不及修正
[04:02.94] 既不友善也不冷漠
[04:11.34] 既非缺席亦非在场
[04:18.81] 只是一道倒影
[04:23.13] 全在我们行走的姿态中
