音乐咖啡厅:Hit The Lights - Don’t wait

相关介绍：组建于2003年的Hit The Lights在2006年首张专辑Don’t Make It A Murder发行后原主唱Colin便离开了乐队，不过这样并没有阻挡乐队的前进步伐，很快，结它手Nick Thompson便顶替了Colin的位置，尽管外界对新主唱评价觉得Nick Thompson不如Colin声音具爆发力，但Nick Thompson凭借其清澈响亮的声线也赢回不少Fans的支持并一直胜任到现在，最新专辑Skip School, Start Fights就在这种情况下完成创作。跟2006年的首专Don’t Make It A Murder一样，新专辑Skip School, Start Fights还是延续正统的Pop Punk路线，新专辑里的也多是一些节奏急促，具有爆发力的歌曲，象Drop The Girl，Tell Me Where You Are，Statues等等，不过貌似我对一些注重旋律的歌曲更感兴趣，例如Count It，Don't Wait这两首就是不错的选择。

歌词：

Song：Don't Wait
Artist：Hit The Lights

There were ocean waves
Big city lights
Lazy summer days
And crazy sleepless¹ nights

Somewhere along an open road
We drove² ourselves out of our minds
Sometimes to do the things you love
You leave the ones you love behind

You danced
You drank
You laughed
You cried
You went to work
And said goodbye
I've lived
I learnt
Stayed up all night
I'll see you when the time is right again

I got old shoes in a brand new town
I wear 'em like they're staring, let the tongues hang out
I'm just too loose for the same old crowd
If I could only see your face before my souls wear out

Somewhere out on an open road
You searched until you looked inside
Sometimes you've gotta see the world
To find out what you left behind
[ Lyrics³ from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/h/hit_the_lights/dont_wait.html ]
You danced
You drank
You laughed
You cried
You went to work
And said goodbye
I've lived
I learnt
Stayed up all night
I'll see you when the time is right again

Wait for me
(don't wait, don't wait)
Wait for me
(don't wait, don't wait)

We walked the floor, the sun, the rise
We packed our bags and waved goodbye
We drove into a great sunset⁴
And lived a life with no regret
We lived a life with no regret

(don't wait, don't wait, don't wait, don't wait)

I can't recall⁵ the sun to rise
I'll never know until I try
We made mistakes and learned⁶ in time
But on the road we live and die

I can't recall the sun to rise
I'll never know until I try
We made mistakes and learned in time
But on the road we live and die
But on the road we live and die
We live...

(we'll never know...)
