因為一開始聽到輕快的民謠曲調真的沒想到原來歌詞有那麼悲傷
我還想說哇操是有多誇張
真的去翻完才發現這到底有多悲傷
大致上就是在說一個分手後仍讓人魂牽夢縈的女孩吧
不僅在腦裡揮之不去，更是有擔心她的想法，
想著她是否還同樣不成熟、同樣對自己感到徬徨等等，
同時也表示那份感情自己到老也不會忘，總之真的頗美的
希望自己有翻出那種感覺

－正篇開始
Love Is A Laserquest
Do you still feel younger than you thought you would by now
你是否還認為自己是個年輕的女孩
Or darling have you started feeling old yet?
還是親愛的你已感到年華不在？
Don't worry I'm sure that you're still breaking hearts
別擔心，我很明白你仍能擊碎許多人的心
With the efficiency that only youth can harness
用那唯有年少輕狂能達到的頻率
And do you still think love is a Laserquest
你是否還認為愛情只不過是槍擊遊戲
Or do you take it all more seriously?
或是你開始想認真以待了？
I've tried to ask you this in some daydreams that I've had
我曾在某些白日夢裡問過你
But you're always busy being make-believe
但你總忙著掩飾問題
And do you look into the mirror to remind yourself you're there
你能夠望向鏡子就認定自己的存在了嗎
Or have somebody's goodnight kisses got that covered?
或是仍依靠某人的吻才得以安眠？
When I'm not being honest I pretend that you were just some lover
當我不想坦承時，我只假裝你是某位過客
Now I can't think of there without thinking of you
總有幾處會讓我想起你
I doubt that comes as a surprise
但我卻不感意外
And I can't think of anything to dream about
因為除了你以外我已容不下任何的夢
I can't find anywhere to hide
無時無刻，無處可藏
And when I'm hanging on by the rings around my eyes
當我仍帶著疲倦的眼眶死守著
And I convince myself I need another
卻也同時說服著自己需要再喝幾杯
For a minute it gets easier to pretend that you were just some lover
因為總有幾個瞬間讓我可以放下，然後只把你當作是某位過客
When I'm pipe and slippers and rocking chair
當我已經年邁，穿著拖鞋抽著菸斗晃著搖椅
Singing dreadful songs about summer
哼唱些了無新意的夏日歌曲
Will I've found a better method of pretending you were just some lover?
到那時我能找到更好的方法去假裝你只是個過客嗎？
Will I've found a better method of pretending you were just some lover?
到那時我能找到更好的方法去將你釋懷嗎？

（註解）
*Laserquest：就是那種用雷射槍在某種場地互打計分的遊戲
* rings around my eyes：這大概不用多說，一般來講就是在說黑眼圈、但此處可能也是因為哭或是失眠等等造成的，敘事人看來很糾結在到底要不要放下，因為那女孩似乎已經變成他的動力、他的一部份
*I need another：這裡讓我比較猶豫，因為同時可以指酒（好忘掉痛苦）也可以指下一個對象（好放下那女孩），最後因為下一句所以選了前者這樣，喝酒喝到忘記這些的概念
之前Q magazine有問過Alex這首歌是不是關於Alexa Chung的，他的回答是"I hope not, cos in the song it's over."
覺得倍感難過……他們兩個真的頗甜的不過說真的我還得去查查到底是怎麼回事才能分享因為我注意力都集中在Milex了
最後放個Acoustic，這個版本就比較有感傷的氣氛了
