It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon

I'm driving too fast I'm driving too far
我想要尽快远离这个地方
I'd like to change my point of view

I feel so lonely I'm waiting for you

But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I wonder how I wonder why
我不知所措 我不明所以
Yesterday you told me about the blue blue sky
分明昨天你还与我谈论美丽的天气
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree
但我眼前所见只有一株金黄的柠檬树
I'm turning my head up and down
我晃着脑袋 上下观望
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
我转来转去 一遍又一遍 一圈又一圈
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree
但如今在我眼前的不过是另一株柠檬树

I'm sitting here I miss the power
我呆坐在这 感觉浑身乏力
I'd like to go out taking a shower

But there's a heavy cloud inside my head
但有一片乌云萦绕在我脑海中挥之不去
I feel so tired put myself into bed

Well, nothing ever happens and I wonder
你终究未来,只有我一人,我很郁闷
Isolation is not good for me
自我封闭毫无益处
Isolation, I don't want to sit on a lemon tree

I'm stepping around in the desert of joy
我漫步在快乐的沙洲上
Baby anyhow I'll get another toy
亲爱的无论如何我都可能另寻到他爱
And everything will happen and you'll wonder
那时我所期待的都将发生,郁闷的或许会是你
I wonder how I wonder why
我不知所措 我不明所以
Yesterday you told me about the blue blue sky
分明昨天你还与我谈论美丽的天气
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree
但如今在我眼前的不过是另一株柠檬树
I'm turning my head up and down
我晃着脑袋 上下观望
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
我转来转去 一遍又一遍 一圈又一圈
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree
但我眼前所见只有一株金黄的柠檬树
And I wonder,wonder
我诧异 我郁闷
I wonder how I wonder why
我不知所措 我不明所以
Yesterday you told me about the blue blue sky
分明昨天你还与我谈论美丽的天气

And all that I can see
但如今我能看见的
And all that I can see
但如今我能看见的
