歌词
Well, me of all people should understand
好吧，我本该知道的
nothing you say’s ever personal.
你可没说过什么私人的话
You think yourself an “untamable” man.
你说你是个无法驯服的人
What you really are is impossible to rely on.
其实就是根本靠不住
You land in fair weather then you fly on —
你找了个老实天气降落然后飞走了
not ‘cause you wanna be free,
才不是因为你想自由
but ‘cause you don’t want me to see
不就是不想让我看到
你就是个纸片人，想着法子远走高飞
You’re a Paper Man, flying high as you can,
却总是败在不切实际
always just out of reach from Reality’s hand.
最后不堪重负——呵，纸片人
Can’t bear the weight — no, not a paper man.
不堪重负
Can’t bear the weight, no…
你讲出的话从来都做不到
只图口嗨一时爽
You talk the talk just ‘cause you like the sound
你可爱的眼睛闪过的犹豫
of heavier things that you never did.
绝不止镜中那一丝
Your honey eyes have a glimmer of doubt:
你用蒸汽防备自己被看清
The truth isn’t quite how you render it in the mirror…
你这个人还真怕别人推敲
you turn on the steam so nobody sees you clearer.
因为皮囊下空无一物
You’re so afraid to dig in,
这样就能逃之夭夭
‘cause what if there’s nothing ‘neath the skin
你总是旁听但不过耳，知晓却不理解
所以不堪重负呗——你这纸片人
of a Paper Man, moving fast as you can.
所以不堪重负呗——你这纸片人
You Hear but don’t Listen, Know but don’t Understand.
真庆幸你曾驻留啊，戏精鼻祖
Can’t bear the weight — no, not a paper man.
你恰恰让我明白自己不想成为哪种人
Can’t bear the weight, oh, no, not a paper man.
纸片人啊，我们永远不知道你在哪降落
你所有承诺都是空头支票
I’m so glad you stopped by, Teacher in deep disguise.
不堪重负了吧，纸片人
You’ve shown me exactly who I don’t wanna be.
赶快跑路吧
你总是旁听但不过耳，知晓却不理解
Paper Man, never know where you’ll land.
不堪重负了吧？纸片人
Your every promise just words in the sand.
尽管远走高飞去吧
Can’t bear no weight — no, not you, not you,
反正你总会脱离现实
not a Paper Man, moving fast as you can.
最后不堪重负，对吧纸片人
You Hear but don’t Listen, Know but don’t Understand.
词曲作者
Can’t bear the weight — no, not a, not a, not a Paper Man.
.
Not a Paper Man, flying high as you can,
always just out of reach from Reality’s hand.
Can’t bear the weight — no, not a Paper Man.
