Well it was not that he was particularly
Yah, bukan itu masalahnya
suicidal he just didn't care wether he lived or died though
bunuh diri dia hanya tidak peduli apakah dia tinggal atau mati sekalipun
it was just a matter of time
Itu hanya masalah waktu saja
you got yours and I got mine
Anda punya milikmu dan aku mendapatkan milikku
when he turned sixteen
Saat dia berusia enam belas tahun
they said he could drive
mereka bilang dia bisa menyetir
when he turned eighteen they said he could die
Ketika berusia delapan belas tahun, mereka mengatakan bahwa ia bisa mati
when he turned twenty one he could buy rum
Ketika dia berusia dua puluh tahun, dia bisa membeli rum
but no one ever taught him
tapi tidak ada yang pernah mengajarinya
how things were done
bagaimana hal itu dilakukan
then an angel appeared inside his head
Lalu seorang malaikat muncul di dalam kepalanya
she said boy do you think
dia bilang anak laki-laki menurutmu
you're realty better off dead
Anda benar-benar lebih baik mati
he don't know he just shook his heed
dia tidak tahu dia hanya mengguncangnya

(chorus)
(paduan suara)
'Cause he thought the day that he died
Karena dia mengira hari kematiannya
would be a normal day for the people on the other side
akan menjadi hari yang normal bagi orang-orang di sisi lain
He thought that the day that he died
Dia mengira hari dia meninggal
would be a normal day for the people on the other side
akan menjadi hari yang normal bagi orang-orang di sisi lain
but memories come down and me once again
tapi kenangan turun dan aku sekali lagi
caught without an umbrella
tertangkap tanpa payung

But time was a matter of velocity
Tapi waktu adalah masalah kecepatan
in this age of information and technology
di era informasi dan teknologi ini
he would cry in the shower
dia akan menangis di kamar mandi
put his face in a towel hot from the dryer
Taruh wajahnya di handuk yang panas dari pengering
then he sat down and wrote a note to his mom
Lalu dia duduk dan menulis surat kepada ibunya
when all is said and done
ketika semuanya sudah dikatakan dan selesai
can I still be your son
bisakah aku tetap menjadi anakmu
because manhood is so elusive
karena kedewasaan begitu sulit dipahami
and respect is so exclusive
dan rasa hormat begitu eksklusif
and I got a daddy to prove it
dan saya punya ayah untuk membuktikannya
I think I'll never get to shake it and move
Saya pikir saya tidak akan pernah mengguncangnya dan bergerak
then he tied a rope around his neck
Lalu ia mengikatkan tali di lehernya
looked in the mirror and said what the heck
Melihat ke cermin dan berkata apa adanya
I'm gonna bring the whole roof down with me
Aku akan membawa seluruh atap bersamaku
and then he jumped
Lalu dia melompat

(chorus)
(paduan suara)

“Come in Vernon'
“Datanglah ke Vernon

But halt way down
Tapi berhenti turun
he heard what the angel said
dia mendengar apa yang dikatakan malaikat itu
and he realized -he really
dan dia sadar-dia benar-benar
