歌词
My three best friends and I planned a weeklong trip
为我们高中毕业季的春假
我和三个最好的朋友计划了为期一周的旅行
For our spring break during our senior year of high school
我们无所顾及,自由,并且已经成年
我们在日出之前,开始了第一段旅程
We were undeterred and free and grown
去弗吉尼亚海滩度过一段时光
在前往外班克斯列岛的营地之前
We left before the sun rose and began the first leg
我们玩着从家里带到宾馆房间的电子游戏
度过了第一个夜晚
To Virginia Beach for a couple of days
第二天一早,我们开始了冒险
游荡到深夜
Before heading out to camp on the outer banks
像旁观者或是幽灵一样
直到人造光比大白天还要亮
When we arrived we spent the first night playing video games
木板路上全是年轻人
We brought from home in our hotel room
莽撞地宣告着成年,仿佛是世界末日一样
我们撤回宾馆,筋疲力尽
In the morning we ventured out into the world
房间里的电话不合时宜地响了
它本该当那头发生坏事时才会响
And wandered around until late at night
我接了电话,然后转交给丹尼
让他听到他弟弟去世的消息
Like spectators or ghosts
他扔下电话奔向走廊
As artificial lights burned brighter than daylight
悲伤让他不能自已
我们跟着跑出去,不确定该做些什么
The boardwalk was teeming with youth
他甩开我们的拥抱,顺着楼梯,跑到海滩
Brashly claiming adulthood like it was the last day on earth
在大西洋的海岸徘徊了一个又一个小时
我在附近一个公园的长凳上等待并看着
We retreated back to our hotel exhausted
当他回来后,我们便上了车,开了十二个小时回家
及时赶上了葬礼
The phone in our room rang out at an ungodly hour
When only bad things are on the other end
I answered and gave it to Danny
So he could hear his brother passed away
He dropped the phone and bolted out into the hall
Blind with grief
We ran out after him unsure of what to do
He threw off our embrace and escaped down the stairs to the beach
And haunted the shore of the Atlantic for hours and hours
I waited and watched from a nearby park bench
When he came back we got into the car and drove the twelve hours back home
And made it just in time for the funeral
