Cruel Summer

Fever dream high in the quiet of the night

You know that I caught it (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)

Bad, bad boy

shiny toy with a price

You know that I bought it (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)

Killing me slow, out the window

I'm always waiting for you to be waiting below

Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes

What doesn't kill me makes me want you more

And it's new, the shape of your body

It's blue, the feeling I've got

And it's ooh, whoa oh

It's a cruel summer

It's cool, that's what I tell 'em

No rules in breakable heaven

But ooh, whoa oh

It's a cruel summer

With you

Hang your head low

in the glow of the vending machine

I'm not dying (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)

We say that we'll just screw it up in these trying times

We're not trying (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)

So cut the headlights, summer's a knife

I'm always waiting for you just to cut to the bone

Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes

And if I bleed, you'll be the last to know

And it's new, the shape of your body

It's blue, the feeling I've got

And it's ooh, whoa oh

It's a cruel summer

It's cool, that's what I tell 'em

No rules in breakable heaven

But ooh, whoa oh

It's a cruel summer

With you

I'm drunk in the back of the car

And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (Oh)

Said I'm fine, but it wasn't true

I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you

And I snuck in through the garden gate

Every night that summer just to seal my fate (Oh)

And I screamed for whatever it's worth

"I love you," ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?“

He looks up, grinning like a devil

And it's new, the shape of your body

It's blue, the feeling I've got

And it's ooh, whoa oh

It's a cruel summer

It's cool, that's what I tell 'em

No rules in breakable heaven

But ooh, whoa oh

It's a cruel summer

With you

I'm drunk in the back of the car

And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (Oh)

Said I'm fine, but it wasn't true

I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you

And I snuck in through the garden gate

Every night that summer just to seal my fate (Oh)

And I screamed for whatever it's worth

"I love you," ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?“ ^[2] 

狂熱的夢想，在寂靜星夜高得不切實際

你知道我從迷茫中捕獲到了它

我的壞男孩

耀眼性感尤物，無價之寶

你清楚我為此付出了代價

窗外對你的靜候，正在慢慢消磨我

我總是期待你的突然到訪

惡魔擲出了骰子，天使卻視若無睹（注：也可以理解為天使轉動眼睛窺探異象）

若不能毀滅我 那隻會讓我更加想要得到你

你的身軀讓我眼前一亮

但求而不得，讓我無比悲傷

它就是殘酷無情的盛夏時光啊

我跟所有人説，它冷酷如冰

在搖搖欲墜的天堂幻境中 我們之間沒有規則限制

但是

這是與你度過的

心碎之夏

你微微低頭

售貨機的燈光打在你英俊的臉上

我並沒有為此沉淪

你我都坦言，我們會在那艱難的日子裏，將秘密搞砸

你我就沒必要嘗試

那就熄掉車燈吧，夏日如刀般鋒利

而我等着你卻只讓我痛入骨髓

惡魔擲出了骰子，天使卻視若無睹（注：也可以理解為天使轉動眼睛窺探異象）

若我流血不止，你將最後得知

你迷人的身軀，宛然如新

但求而不得令我心生憂鬱

這是個殘酷的夏天

我告訴人們，它冷酷如冰

脆弱的天堂沒有任何限制

但是

這是與你度過的

心碎之夏

我在汽車後座酩酊大醉

一邊像孩童般嚎啕大哭 一邊強撐着從酒吧回家

口中説着無恙 但卻並非如此

我不想讓這成為秘密，僅僅為了留住你

我從花園的小門悄聲潛回家

那仲夏的每一夜 將我的命運牢牢封鎖

無論處境如何 我都會奮力嘶吼

“我愛你” 這何曾不是你聽過最糟的話

仰望英俊高大的他，像極了壞笑的惡魔

你的身軀，一塵不染

但求而不得令我傷感

這是個殘酷的夏天

我告訴人們，它冷酷如冰

脆弱的天堂沒有任何限制

但是

這是與你度過的

心碎之夏

我在汽車後座酩酊大醉

我在汽車後座酩酊大醉

一邊像孩童般嚎啕大哭 一邊強撐着從酒吧回家

口中説着無恙 但卻並非如此

我不想讓這成為秘密，僅僅為了留住你

我從花園的小門悄聲潛回家

那仲夏的每一夜 將我的命運牢牢封鎖

無論處境如何 我都會奮力嘶吼

“我愛你” 這何曾不是你聽過最糟的話 ^[2]
