Saat aku berumur dua belas tahun, saat memeriksa suratnya
I was admiring the car of the man next door
Aku mengagumi mobil pria di sebelah
And thinking to myself, man, one of these days
Dan berpikir untuk diriku sendiri, man, salah satu dari hari-hari ini
I’m gonna have me a house like that with a big, red door
Aku akan memilikiku rumah seperti itu dengan pintu merah besar
And his yard was mowed, and his grass was green
Dan halaman rumahnya dipangkas, dan rumputnya hijau
And the driveway was edged and all the shrubs were trimmed so perfectly
Dan jalan masuknya berhias dan semua semak dipangkas dengan sangat sempurna
I had a crush on his wife and I played ball with his son
Saya naksir istrinya dan saya bermain bola dengan anaknya
I pondered how much money he made, went inside and turned the TV on
Saya merenungkan berapa banyak uang yang dia hasilkan, masuk ke dalam dan menyalakan TV
And he was laying in an overflowing bathtub of red water
Dan dia sedang berbaring di bak air merah yang meluap
The first and the last time he ever relaxed
Yang pertama dan terakhir dia santai
And they said, he had a smile on his face
Dan mereka berkata, dia memiliki senyuman di wajahnya
His final offer, the steam on the mirror said
Tawaran terakhirnya, kata uap di cermin
One more thing to say
Satu hal lagi yang perlu dikatakan
I was watching TV, having one of mom’s famous rice crispy treats
Saya menonton TV, memiliki salah satu makanan renyah beras yang terkenal dari ibu
Watching Tom and Jerry, I heard a car horn beep
Menonton Tom and Jerry, kudengar bunyi bunyi klakson mobil
I ran to the window, his wife and son were home
Aku berlari ke jendela, istri dan anaknya ada di rumah
With bags of stuff they had got at the mall
Dengan tas barang yang mereka dapatkan di mal
I went in my room and got my glove and ball
Aku masuk ke kamarku dan mengambil sarung tangan dan bola
I leapt off the stairs, and asked his son could he play
Saya melompat dari tangga, dan bertanya kepada anaknya apakah dia bisa bermain
And his son looked at his wife and his wife told his son I guess it’ll be okay
Dan anaknya melihat istrinya dan istrinya mengatakan kepada anaknya bahwa kurasa tidak apa-apa
And that beautiful woman, she walked in that beautiful house
Dan wanita cantik itu, dia berjalan di rumah yang indah itu
When I realized I forgot my hat, I said I’ll be back and turned around
Ketika saya sadar bahwa saya lupa topi saya, saya bilang saya akan kembali dan berbalik
And he was laying in an overflowing bathtub of red water
Dan dia sedang berbaring di bak air merah yang meluap
The first and the last time he ever relaxed
Yang pertama dan terakhir dia santai
And they said, he had a smile on his face
Dan mereka berkata, dia memiliki senyuman di wajahnya
His final offer, the steam on the mirror said
Tawaran terakhirnya, kata uap di cermin
One more thing to say
Satu hal lagi yang perlu dikatakan
There was screaming and there was crying
Ada teriakan dan menangis
There was sirens, I thought I was dreamin
Ada sirene, saya pikir saya sangat marah
And the sun was shining, it was a beautiful day
Dan matahari bersinar, hari itu indah
His wife was talking to an officer
Istrinya sedang berbicara dengan seorang petugas
Through the noise I heard her say
Dengan suara yang kudengar, dia berkata
And he was laying in an overflowing bathtub of red water
Dan dia sedang berbaring di bak air merah yang meluap
The first and the last time he ever relaxed
Yang pertama dan terakhir dia santai
And they said, he had a smile on his face
Dan mereka berkata, dia memiliki senyuman di wajahnya
His final offer, the steam on the mirror said
Tawaran terakhirnya, kata uap di cermin
I got one more thing to say
Aku punya satu hal lagi untuk dikatakan
