West Coast

共和時代OneRepublic發行即將發佈的第六張錄音室專輯的第二支單曲《West Coast》，這首加州頌歌是新專輯的關鍵歌曲之一，為新專輯的創作定下了整體基調，同時也是粉絲們期待已久的“鴿曲”。 ^[2] 

I've been dreamin' 'bout the west coast (I've been dreamin')

Found some faces that I don't know (I've been dreamin' about it)

Give me the sun for just a year

I'll kiss the sky and disappear

I've been starin' up at the greyest skies

Tryin' to find myself some luck but it's runnin' dry

It's like the weather makes the worst of my cloudy mind

I could really use a dose of some paradise

Sometimes you gotta run from a broken heart

Before I turn into a ghost need a brand new start

Get myself headed to the coast, man it ain't that far

Yeah, they got sun in LA and some shinin' stars

I've been dreamin' 'bout the west coast (I've been dreamin')

Found some faces that I don't know (I've been dreamin' about it)

Seein' signs for California

Trade the shade for somethin' warmer

I've been dreamin' 'bout the west coast (I've been dreamin')

Where the people take it real slow (I've been dreamin' about it)

I need the sun for just a year

I'll kiss the sky and disappear

Ain't felt a drop now for forty days

But still they're washing cars and they don't show any age

Ain't nothin' that you want'll cost you more than time

If you're tryna find yourself, better get in line

I'm countin' up my money and spendin' to get it right

Got the future in my pocket, I'm spendin' it all tonight

Like a prophet with the vision, I finally see the light

And you know

I've been dreamin' 'bout the west coast (I've been dreamin')

Found some faces that I don't know (I've been dreamin' about it)

Seein' signs for California

Trade the shade for somethin' warmer

I've been dreamin' 'bout the west coast (I've been dreamin')

Where the people take it real slow (I've been dreamin' about it)

I need the sun for just a year

I'll kiss the sky and disappear

The west coast

Glitter nights under starry skies

All I wanna do is fly

Take me where the sun shines bright, oh

I've been dreamin' 'bout the west coast

Time to find myself a new glow

I need the sun for just a year

I'll kiss the sky and disappear

I've been dreamin' 'bout the west coast (I've been dreamin')

Found some faces that I don't know (I've been dreamin' about it)

Seein' signs for California

Trade the shade for somethin' warmer

I've been dreamin' 'bout the west coast (I've been dreamin')

Where the people take it real slow (I've been dreamin' about it)

I need the sun for just a year

I'll kiss the sky and disappear ^[1] 

I've been dreamin' 'bout the west coast (I've been dreamin')

我向往着西海岸 (心馳神往)

Found some faces that I don't know (I've been dreamin' about it)

遇見許多陌生面孔 (心生嚮往)

Give me the sun for just a year

我將沐浴一載暖陽

I'll kiss the sky and disappear

先親吻藍天 再轉身離開

I've been starin' up at the greyest skies

我抬頭望昏沉的天空

Tryin' to find myself some luck but it's runnin' dry

本想來碰碰運氣 可惜時運不濟

It's like the weather makes the worst of my cloudy mind

或許是受天氣影響 我頭腦昏沉得要命

I could really use a dose of some paradise

看來是需要天堂的美滿 來讓我振作起來

Sometimes you gotta run from a broken heart

有時你要讓自己 從心碎中走出來

Before I turn into a ghost need a brand new start

在化作鬼魂前 我需要個嶄新的開端

Get myself headed to the coast, man it ain't that far

看來我得去海邊逛逛 夥計 不遠處就有

Yeah, they got sun in LA and some shinin' stars

那裏有洛城同款的日光和閃爍星辰

I've been dreamin' 'bout the west coast (I've been dreamin')

我向往着西海岸 (心馳神往)

Found some faces that I don't know (I've been dreamin' about it)

遇見許多陌生面孔 (心生嚮往)

Seein' signs for California

有加州既視感

Trade the shade for somethin' warmer

送走陰鬱 迎接温暖

I've been dreamin' 'bout the west coast (I've been dreamin')

我向往着西海岸 (心馳神往)

Where the people take it real slow (I've been dreamin' about it)

人們悠哉遊哉 (心生嚮往)

I need the sun for just a year

渴望沐浴一載暖陽

I'll kiss the sky and disappear

我將親吻藍天 再轉身離開

Ain't felt a drop now for forty days

雖然有四十天沒下過雨

But still they're washing cars and they don't show any age

但他們還是在洗車 看不出時間的流逝

Ain't nothin' that you want'll cost you more than time

你所渴望的一切 都沒有時間珍貴

If you're tryna find yourself, better get in line

若你也想找回自我 就來排好隊

I'm countin' up my money and spendin' to get it right

我數着錢 隨性揮霍

Got the future in my pocket, I'm spendin' it all tonight

未來盡在掌握 今晚我要徹夜狂歡

Like a prophet with the vision, I finally see the light

像目光長遠的先知 我終見光芒

And you know

你知道
