Loaded merch in that 12-passenger van
在堆滿樂器的小貨車中踏上旅程
In a small club in Minnesota
明尼蘇達州的1st Ave俱樂部

On the grass, dreaming, figuring out who I was

也許我一直沒有搞清楚這代表的真諦
Been scared of the future, thinking about the past
總是不敢踏出腳步,躊躇走著回想著過去
While missing out on now
迷迷惘惘的失去了方向
We've come so far, I guess I'm proud
好大一段路走來,我將以此感到驕傲
And I ain't worried about the wrinkles around my smile
而我再也不在乎光陰在我臉上留下的記號
I've got some scars, I've been around
我曾四處打轉,也留下不少難以抹滅的回憶
I've thrown some pain, I've seen some things, but I'm here now
看透了人生喜樂無常,這些都是我的榮耀

(外牆上的銀星代表著每個獨一無二的歌手、樂團曾在此表演,並影響當地的音樂發展。圖為7th St.ENTRY,原先曾是一間餐廳,後來則成了較不知名樂團的表演地,比較知名的樂團通常會在1st表演。)
我們都會懷念過去的時光,總是說著如果能夠............就好了。但我們都沒有重來的機會,唯一能做的便是珍惜當下、活在當下,然而這卻是說來簡單做來困難的老生常談呢@@。
