震耳欲聾的樂聲間，聽見自我的聲音

Neck Deep - December

Stumbled 'round the block a thousand times
在熟悉的街區絆倒上千次
You missed every call that I had tried
妳錯過每通我撥出的電話
So now I'm giving up
所以現在我放棄了
A heartbreak in mid-December
12月中的心碎
You don't give a fuck
妳他媽的根本不在乎
You never remember me
妳根本忘了我
While you're pulling on his jeans
當妳穿上他的牛仔褲
Getting lost in the big city
迷失在大城市時
I was looking out our window
我正從我們家中的窗戶向外看
Watching all the cars go
看著路上所有的車駛過
Wondering if I'll see Chicago
想著我能從這看到芝加哥嗎
Or a sunset on the West Coast
或是西岸的日落呢
Or will I die in the cold?
亦或我會死於寒冬
Feeling blue and alone
在憂鬱與孤獨中
I wonder if you'll ever hear this song on your stereo
我猜想妳會不會從收音機中聽到這首歌

I hope you get your ball room floor
我希望妳得到妳想要的舞廳地板
Your perfect house with rose red doors
擁有玫瑰紅大門的完美房子
I'm the last thing you'd remember
我將是妳記得的最後一件事
It's been a long, lonely December
這是個又長又孤獨的12月
I wish I'd known that less is more
我希望我能理解少就是多
But I was passed out on the floor
但我只是昏倒在地板
That's the last thing I remember
那是我記得的最後一件事
It's been a long, lonely December
這是個又長又孤獨的12月

Cast me aside to show yourself in a better light
拋開我讓妳自己顯得更好
I came out grieving, barely breathing and you came out alright
我盡顯悲傷難以呼吸，而妳看來沒事
But I'm sure you'll take his hand
但我確信妳會牽起他的手
I hope he's better than I ever could have been
我希望他能夠比我表現得更好
My mistakes were not intentions this is a list of my confessions I couldn't say
我犯的都是無心之過 而這是我說不出口的自白清單

Pain is never permanent but tonight it's killing me
痛苦不會永存 但今晚它令我痛不欲生

I hope you get your ball room floor
我希望妳得到妳想要的舞廳地板
Your perfect house with rose red doors
擁有玫瑰紅大門的完美房子
I'm the last thing you'd remember
我將是妳記得的最後一件事
It's been a long, lonely December
這是個又長又孤獨的12月
I wish I'd known that less is more
我希望我能理解少就是多
But I was passed out on the floor
但我只是昏倒在地板
That's the last thing I remember
那是我記得的最後一件事
It's been a long, lonely December
這是個又長又孤獨的12月

I miss your face, you're in my head
我想念妳的臉 妳始終在我腦海中盤旋
There's so many things that I should have said
有太多事我早該說出口
A year of suffering, a lesson learned
長達一年的折磨 一堂寶貴的教訓
I miss your face, you're in my head
我想念妳的臉 妳始終在我腦海中盤旋
There's so many things that I should have said
有太多事我早該說出口
A year of suffering, a lesson learned
長達一年的折磨 一堂寶貴的教訓

I hope you get your ball room floor
我希望妳得到你想要的舞廳地板
Your perfect house with rose red doors
擁有玫瑰紅大門的完美房子
I'm the last thing you'd remember
我將是妳記得的最後一件事
It's been a long, lonely December
這是個又長又孤獨的12月
I wish I'd known that less is more
我希望我能理解少就是多
But I was passed out on the floor
但我只是昏倒在地板
That's the last thing I remember
那是我記得的最後一件事
It's been a long, lonely December
這是個又長又孤獨的12月

December這首歌主要描述主唱多年前的情傷，
收錄在2015年的"Life's Not Out To Get You"中，
很喜歡Pain is never permanent but tonight it's killing me這句，
那種知道自己有天會好，
卻又在當下痛苦的無法用這理解說服自己好一些的掙扎，
跟目前我處於的狀況一模一樣。

專輯發行的隔年Neck Deep分別找了blink-182的bass手Mark，
和Dashboard confessional的主唱Chris跨刀合唱額外兩個版本，
以下分別是Chris跨刀的不插電版本和原版。
很欣賞他們這樣的操作手法，
精緻的MV跟合適的人選，
Mark跟誰都搭的合聲與Chris高亢的嗓音，
都完美契合了他們合作的版本。
