So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell,
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail,
A smile from a veil
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts,
Hot ashes for trees,
Hot air for a cool breeze,
Cold comfort for change
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish,
How I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

И, и ты думаешь, что сможешь объяснить
Разницу между раем и адом,
Синим небом и болью
Можешь объяснить разницу между зелёным лугом
И холодной стальной оградой,
Между улыбкой и маской,
Думаешь, ты сможешь объяснить?
А они заставили тебя менять
Своих героев на призраков,
Горячий пепел на деревья,
Горячий воздух на прохладный бриз,
Прохладный комфорт на перемены
И ты сменил
Безмолвное участие в войне
На ведущую роль в клетке?
Как же я хочу,
Как же я хочу, чтобы ты был здесь
Мы всего лишь две заблудшие души,
Что плавают в аквариуме
Год за годом
Бегают всё по той же старой земле
Что мы нашли?
Всё те же старые страхи.
Хочу, чтобы ты был здесь.
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell,
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail,
A smile from a veil
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts,
Hot ashes for trees,
Hot air for a cool breeze,
Cold comfort for change
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish,
How I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

And, and you think you can explain
The difference between heaven and hell
With blue skies and pain
Can you explain the difference between a green meadow
And a cold steel fence
Between a smile and a mask
Do you think you can explain?
And they made you change
Your heroes to ghosts
Hot ash on the trees
Hot air on a cool breeze
Cool comfort for a change
And you changed
Silent participation in the war
Taking the lead in the cell?
How I want
How I want you to be here
We're just two lost souls
That swim in the aquarium
Year after year
They all run on the same old land
What have we found?
The same old fears.
I want you to be here.
