les voix: For/Getting｜Re/Membering

越過半個地球的旅程 始於愚人節的隔天
飛機升空 一行人悠悠地踏入美利堅合眾國
迢迢的 經過了二十餘個鐘頭的舟車勞頓
終於 已經走在西方人的國度的領土上

親眼見識到了 這傳說中的民族大熔爐
白的黑的黃的皮膚 棕的藍的綠的眼珠
踩在陌生的土地上 聞不到一絲家鄉的氣息
我在一個萬哩外的境地 體驗全新的生活

這裡睜眼盡是羅馬字母 嘴裡嚼的全是漢堡
中國城裡的份外親切 牌坊的漢字教人興奮
路過的身邊的 都是身材高大的生面孔
忽然讓人很是懷念 台灣身形嬌小的特色

我的第一次 和旁人聊著彼此的觀感和心情
原來同樣的景致 在心中各是不同滋味
隨身聽播著中文歌曲 和窗外風采成了對比
在外地 似乎可以品嚐到春夏秋明的鮮明

前往紐約的公路上 兩旁的針杉和櫻花樹
一派煞是時節的 熱情地搖曳著綻放著
大橋下的湍湍流水 途經的雕像建築博物館
一切還來不及品味 只是匆匆瞥了眼華府

從政治首都到經濟重鎮 有點跳躍的行踪
我們打算在按圖索驥中 不按牌裡出牌
丟掉地圖和指南針 甫抵達即直奔大蘋果
仗著青春無敵優勢 這才是年輕人的玩法

八雙十六隻眼睛 恣意地吸收所有新奇
不嫌貪心地邊走邊問 不顧氣質地放聲大笑
快門留下了線索 卻拼不出當時完整的雀躍
假裝鎮定的外表下 慶幸著自己的堅持

藉著一個正經八百的目的 帶點傲氣流浪
背負著眾人期待 我們圖的是場奇妙的經驗
多虧了駐美代表處的協助 目前一切順利
在美國 要靠省吃儉用才能真正存活下去

前往紐約的路上 忽然暗暗地下了決定
明年要靠自己的努力的成就 再回到這裡
帶著同樣燦爛的微笑 更正式的心情和安排
再一次降落在 這美利堅合眾國的東岸

Where'd You Go (by Fort Minor)

Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.

She said "Some days I feel like shit,
Some days I wanna quit, and just be normal for a bit,"
I don't understand why you have to always be gone,
I get along but the trips always feel so long,
And, I find myself trying to stay by the phone,
'Cause your voice always helps me to not feel so alone,
But I feel like an idiot, workin' my day around the call,
But when I pick up I don't have much to say,
So, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"

I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...

You know the place where you used to live,
Used to barbecue up burgers and ribs,
Used to have a little party every Halloween with candy by the pile,
But now, you only stop by every once and a while,
Shit, I find myself just fillin' my time,
With anything to keep the thought of you from my mind,
I'm doin' fine, I plan to keep it that way,
You can call me if you find that you have something to say,
And I'll tell you, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"

I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...

I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', no longer debatin',
Tired of sittin' and hatin' and makin' these excuses,
For why you're not around, and feeling so useless,
It seems one thing has been true all along,
You don't really know what you've got 'til it's gone,
I guess I've had it with you and your career,
When you come back I won't be here and you can sing it...

Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
