歌曲简介：

penpal，一个已经逐渐走向词汇历史博物馆的词汇。

提到笔友，有人会想到《玛丽和马克思》，也有人满脑子都是英语考试作文题目：假如你是李华，你的笔友Mike作为交换生来中国学习，并邀请你一起登长城，请回一封信作为答谢。100字左右。（20’），无论哪一种，都是只属于自己独特的回忆。

Long lost penpal

Hello,Do you remember me
你好还记得我么？
I am your long lost pen pal
我是你久别的笔友
It must have been ten years ago we last wrote
距离我们上次通信已经过了十年了吧

I don’t really know what happened
我不知道我们发生了什么
I guess life came in the way

或许生活本该如此

Let me know if you’re still alive
让我知道你还活着么
Let me know if you ever used that knife or not
让我知道你还用过小刀伤害自己么

Hello,Yes I remember you
你好我一直记得你
I’ve got a husband and two children now
我结婚了还有了两个孩子
I work as an accountant and make fairly good money
我在做一名会计师也有了可观的收入
I still have your letters, you used a pink pen to write them
我一直保存着你的来信你用粉色笔写的那些信
And you would comfort me
你用来安慰我的那些信

when my tears would stain the ink

当我寄给你的信文字被泪水浸染时
And I would send you mix tapes with Kate Bush on
我也会送你一些Kate bush的混合磁带

I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters
其实我承认，我在信中说过谎
Tried to make life better than it was
试着把自己的生活描绘的比现实更好
I still wasn’t kissed at sixteen
十六岁的时候我并没有和人接吻
And I still need a friend
我仍然需要你朋友

There was this letter
有这么一封信
I never told you this back then
我从未告诉过你
But it would be fair to say it saved my life
说实话它们救了我的命
I sat in the window

独坐窗边

The only one left out from a party again
我又一次成为那个唯一被派对遗忘的人
Pretty sure I didn’t have a single friend
我很确定我一个朋友也没有
Then I checked the mailbox
然后我就会去检查我的信箱

Dear long lost penpal
久别的亲爱的笔友
I was lying the whole time
自始至终我都在说谎
I’m really a 46 years old man named Luke
其实我是一个46岁的老男人我叫Luke
I have three children
我有三个孩子
and a wife, she doesn’t care
还有一个压根不关心我的妻子

And I hope you don’t resent me

希望你不要厌恶我
And I hope you do not hate me
希望你不要恨我
For trying to find my way back to what it’s like to be young
我只是想试着去找回我年少时候的样子

I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters
我承认有时候我会在信中撒谎
Tried to make life better than it was
试着把自己的生活描绘的比现实更好
I still wasn’t kissed at sixteen
十六岁的时候我并没有和人接吻
And I still need a friend
我仍然需要你朋友
