(verse 1)
这里总结了过去，
预知了未来，
省略了多余的标点。
你说 Times New Roman 太像报告，
Comic Sans 太轻佻，
读完像看在倒卷的胶片。
你说这比喻里有情怀，
比“跑马灯”强多了。
你说也别太煽情，
这里的混响多了。
都在等待结束的时机，
在听牌、
都怕先打出显得失礼。
Between lines,
we wrote in ellipsis (…)
在若即若离里进退，
在击剑的试探里是掩护。
并未落地的棋，
就没有将或僵局吧。
在没有胜负的棋盘我们绕着远路，
and running down the clock
and down the lane，
驶入往事 turn down the fog lights and god-speed。
在倒计的时间里我消失在 rear view mirror。
When you wrote about the future, and goodbye in futura。
(chorus)
When I write in Futura Futura Futura
When I write in Futura Futura Futura
When I write in Futura Futura Futura
When I write in Futura Futura Futura
[verse 2]
In a few words, you told me you were leaving.
Just a few words, on the screen in Futura,
all the euphemism I was reading.
像小说敷衍的结尾里避重就轻。
在叙述的回避与面对间，
含糊的表达里，
等待救兵，
也未免太过狡猾。
Or was it an epitaph，
在 San Serif 利落的笔画里，
生硬得融不进一点情吗？
Tell me how you read these strokes，
从哪里起笔，
在哪里停？
Do we really know
哪一瓶，有谜底？
行间字里是谜面该怎么解？
回复该怎么写得体面，该如何收尾，
But we don’t really know what broke us.
该如何修理，was it out of vogue?
If you had told me when we lost focus behind the wheel,
before you cut the reel, (and)
wrote the name in a steel, cold font before u sealed it
(bridge)

[chorus]
When I write in Futura Futura Futura
When I write in Futura Futura Futura
When I write in Futura Futura Futura
When I write in Futura Futura Futura
