史巴拉西

有時候會因為某些事情莫名其妙的觸動了過往的記憶
這回恰好是這首曲子

那是在童年時期一個炙熱的夏天午後
我們很有默契的同時躲進了大榕樹底下的涼水攤
雖然上下學時常碰面，但卻不曾交談過
因為巧遇我們相視而笑著，雖然我因掉了顆門牙笑得勉強
還好發現賣冰老伯也不惶多讓的掉了一顆

我要一碗清冰，我們不約而同的大聲叫嚷著
雖然，妳粉紅色的拖鞋令我的赤腳有點不知所措
但是當妳多給我兩匙清冰時，我們又笑了開來

衷心希望長大後的妳，一切安好。




Hello
Do you remember me
I am your long lost penpal
It must have been ten years ago we last wrote
I don't really know what happened
I guess life came in the way
Let me know if you're still alive
Let me know if you ever used that knife or not

Hello
Yes I remember you
I've got a husband and two children now
I work as an accountant and make fairly good money
I still have your letters, you used a pink pen to write them
And you would comfort me
when my tears would stain the ink
And I would send you mix tapes with Kate Bush on

I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters
Tried to make life better than it was
I still wasn't kissed at sixteen
And I still need a friend

There was this letter
I never told you this back then
But it would be fair to say it saved my life
I sat in the window
The only one left out from a party again
Pretty sure I didn't have a single friend
Then I checked the mailbox

Dear long lost penpal
I was lying the whole time
I'm really a 46 years old man named Luke
I have three children
and a wife, she doesn't care
And I hope you don't resent me
And I hope you do not hate me
For trying to find my way back to what it's like to be young

I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters
Tried to make life better than it was
I still wasn't kissed at sixteen
And I still need a friend
