When I was twelve, while checking the mail
Ketika aku berumur dua belas, saat memeriksa surat

I was admiring the car of the man next door
Aku mengagumi mobil pria sebelah rumah

And thinking to myself, man, one of these days
Dan berpikir dalam hati, suatu hari nanti

I'm gonna have me a house like that with a big, red door
Aku juga ingin punya rumah seperti itu dengan pintu besar berwarna merah

And his yard was mowed, and his grass was green
Dan halaman rumahnya terawat, rumputnya hijau

And the driveway was edged and all the shrubs were trimmed so perfectly
Dan jalan masuknya rapi, semua semak-semak memangkas dengan sempurna

I had a crush on his wife and I played ball with his son
Aku suka pada istrinya dan bermain bola dengan anaknya

I pondered how much money he made, went inside and turned the TV on
Aku penasaran berapa banyak uang yang dia hasilkan, lalu masuk dan menyalakan TV

[Hook:]
And he was laying in an overflowing bathtub of red water
Dan dia terbaring di bak mandi yang meluap dengan air merah

The first and the last time he ever relaxed
Itu adalah pertama dan terakhir kalinya dia bersantai

And they said, he had a smile on his face
Dan mereka bilang, dia tersenyum

His final offer, the steam on the mirror said
Tawaran terakhirnya, uap di cermin berkata

One more thing to say
Satu hal lagi yang ingin diucapkan

I was watching TV, having one of mom's famous rice crispy treats
Aku sedang menonton TV, sambil menikmati camilan beras krispi terkenal buatan ibu

Watching Tom and Jerry, I heard a car horn beep
Menonton Tom dan Jerry, aku mendengar klakson mobil berbunyi

I ran to the window, his wife and son were home
Aku berlari ke jendela, istrinya dan anaknya sudah di rumah

With bags of stuff they had got at the mall
Dengan tas berisi barang-barang yang mereka beli 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
Aku melompat dari tangga, dan bertanya pada anaknya apakah dia bisa bermain

And his son looked at his wife and his wife told his son I guess it'll be okay
Anaknya melihat istrinya dan istrinya bilang pada anaknya, sepertinya tidak apa-apa

And that beautiful woman, she walked in that beautiful house
Dan wanita cantik itu, dia masuk ke rumah yang indah itu

When I realized I forgot my hat, I said I'll be back and turned around
Ketika aku sadar aku lupa topi, aku bilang akan kembali dan berbalik

And he was laying in an overflowing bathtub of red water
Dan dia terbaring di bak mandi yang meluap dengan air merah

The first and the last time he ever relaxed
Itu adalah pertama dan terakhir kalinya dia bersantai

And they said, he had a smile on his face
Dan mereka bilang, dia tersenyum

His final offer, the steam on the mirror said
Tawaran terakhirnya, uap di cermin berkata

One more thing to say
Satu hal lagi yang ingin diucapkan

There was screaming and there was crying
Ada teriakan dan ada tangisan

There was sirens, I thought I was dreamin
Ada sirene, aku pikir aku sedang bermimpi

And the sun was shining, it was a beautiful day
Dan matahari bersinar, itu adalah hari yang indah

His wife was talking to an officer
Istrinya sedang berbicara dengan seorang petugas

Through the noise I heard her say
Di tengah keributan, aku mendengar dia berkata

[Hook:]
And he was laying in an overflowing bathtub of red water
Dan dia terbaring di bak mandi yang meluap dengan air merah

The first and the last time he ever relaxed
Itu adalah pertama dan terakhir kalinya dia bersantai

And they said, he had a smile on his face
Dan mereka bilang, dia tersenyum

His final offer, the steam on the mirror said
Tawaran terakhirnya, uap di cermin berkata

I got one more thing to say
Aku punya satu hal lagi yang ingin diucapkan
