听歌学英语:无主人生 LIFE FOR RENT

‘从未找到过可以称之为家的地方，因为我总是行色匆匆......'这是来自Dido的《无主人生》。每个人来到这个世界上都是有目的的。但是有时候我们会忘了我们来这个世界上的目的，迷失在茫茫的人群中，变得满足现状并且与世界脱节。

I haven't really ever found a place that I call home 从未找到过可以称之为家的地方
I never stick around quite long enough to make it 因为我总是行色匆匆
I apologize that once again I'm not in love 很抱歉，再一次地，我爱不了
But it's not as if I mind 但是，还是会在乎
that your heart ain't exactly breaking 你没有为此心碎
It's just a thought, only a thought 但这只是个念头，仅是个念头

But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy 只是我一生漂泊，生命并不真正属于我自己
Well I deserve nothing more than I get 所以我也不值得去拥有更多的东西
Cos nothing I have is truly mine 因为我所拥有的并不真正属于我

I've always thought 我一直以为
that I would love to live by the sea 会面朝大海而住
To travel the world alone 会独自周游世界
and live more simply 简单地生活
I have no idea what's happened to that dream 不知道这些梦想都去哪里了
Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me 因为并没有什么能阻止我

While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down 心是一块盔甲，我不愿卸下
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try 害怕失败所以甚至不愿尝试
