[00:00:16] I learned the truth at seventeen

[00:00:21] 十七岁 我就明白

[00:00:21] That love was meant for beauty queens

[00:00:25] 长得好看的人才配拥有爱情

[00:00:25] And high school girls with clear skinned smiles

[00:00:30] 高中部美女们梨涡浅笑

[00:00:30] Who married young and then retired

[00:00:37] The valentines I never knew

[00:00:42] 那些我永远不知的浪漫

[00:00:42] The Friday night charades of youth

[00:00:46] 周五晚上玩哑谜游戏

[00:00:46] Were spent on one more beautiful

[00:00:50] 大家都选颜值更高的人

[00:00:50] At seventeen I learned the truth

[00:00:57] 十七岁 我就明白

[00:00:57] And those of us with ravaged faces

[00:01:03] Lacking in the social graces

[00:01:07] 社交圈里存在感为零

[00:01:07] Desperately remained at home

[00:01:10] 只配在家绝望地待着

[00:01:10] Inventing lovers on the phone

[00:01:14] 打电话假装有对象

[00:01:14] Who called to say come dance with me

[00:01:19] 对方邀我去跳舞

[00:01:19] And murmured vague obscenities

[00:01:24] 说着含糊热切的话语

[00:01:24] It isn't all it seems

[00:01:27] 这还不算是

[00:01:27] At seventeen

[00:01:31] 十七岁的所有

[00:01:31] A brown eyed girl in hand me downs

[00:01:36] 有一个 穿二手衣服的棕色眼睛女孩

[00:01:36] Whose name I never could pronounce

[00:01:40] 那个我记不清名字的女孩说

[00:01:40] Said pity please the ones who serve

[00:02:21] Indebentures of quality

[00:02:25] 爱情的质量化成债券

[00:02:25] And dubious integrity

[00:02:30] 和纯度不高的忠诚

[00:02:30] Their small town eyes will gape at you
