Operator
[Verse 1]
Operator, well could you help me place this call?
교환원, 통화가 연결되도록 도와줄 수 있겠어?
See, the number on the match book is old and faded
전화번호부에 있는 번호는 옛날 것에다 빛이 바랬어
She's living in L.A. with my best old ex-friend Ray
그녀는 내 최고의 옛 친구 Ray랑 LA에 살고 있어
A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated
그녀가 잘 알고, 가끔은 미워하기도 했다는 그 남자
[Chorus]
But isn't that the way they say it goes?
하지만 다들 그런 식으로 흘러간다고들 하잖아?
Well let's forget all that
뭐, 다 잊어버리자고
And give me the number if you can find it
그리고 혹시 번호 알 수 있으면 알려줘
So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine, and to show
그냥 내가 전화해서 괜찮다고 전하게, 그리고
I've overcome the blow
그때의 충격은 극복했단 걸 보여주게
I've learned to take it well
잘 받아들이는 법을 배웠지
I only wish my words could just convince myself
내 말이 나한테, 그건 전부 현실이 아니었다고
That it just wasn't real
설득할 수 있다면 좋겠어
But that's not the way it feels
하지만 진짜 느낌은 다른 걸
[Verse 2]
Operator, well could you help me place this call?
교환원, 이 통화 좀 연결해 줄 수 있어?
Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me
방금 그쪽에서 준 번호를 못 읽겠거든
There's something in my eyes
내 눈에 뭐가 들어갔나봐
You know it happens every time
알잖아, 날 구해줄 줄 알았던
I think about the love that I thought would save me
사랑을 생각할 때마다 이렇게 되는 거
[Chorus]
[Post-Chorus]
No, no, no, no
아니, 아니, 아니
That's not the way it feels
진짜 느낌은 다른 걸
[Verse 3]
Operator, well let's forget about this call
교환원, 그냥 통화 같은 건 잊어버려
There's no one there I really wanted to talk to
사실 딱히 대화를 나누고 싶은 사람은 없어
Thank you for your time
시간 내줘서 고마워
Ah, you've been so much more than kind
아, 정말 친절하게 대해줬지, 당신
You can keep the dime
돈은 안 돌려줘도 돼
[Chorus]
