Story

第一次听到这首歌，是和我的co-intern一起开车旅行。她跟着车里的音乐大声唱着，唱到高音还会一直飚上去，和平时温和的作风判若两人。

有人说，了解一个人最好的机会，是旅行，那次短暂的几小时的车程，让我们成了好朋友。她的未婚夫在芝加哥作住院医生，她和我一起在另外一州作住院医生，他们的周末都是在中部那条高速公路上来回奔驰。

她说很多次她开车的时候都觉得很累很辛苦，开始困惑她和未婚夫的将来，然后她就会跟着这首歌放声高歌，把自己心理的压抑宣泄出来。她是我慢慢了解美国音乐的桥梁。

今天偶尔又听到这首歌，想起了那段岁月。那时候总觉得住院医生很漫长，很辛苦，现在回想起来，却是充满了各种滋味的精彩岁月。
 


All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am

But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true, I was made for you

I climbed across the mountaintops
Travel across the ocean blue
I cross over lines and I broke all the rules
And baby I broke them all for you

Oh because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do, I was made for you

You see the smile that's on my mouth

It's hiding the words that don't come out
All of the friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know I'm in this mess

No they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what I've been through
Like you do, and I was made for you

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am

Oh but these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true, I was made for you
Oh yeah, and it's true that I was made for you
