歌词（节选）欣赏：

 

Simple walk to the corner store

照常无奇的一天行走于旧迹

Momma never thought she would be getting a call from the coroner

那位母亲不曾料到

Said her son's been gunned down, been gunned down

她的孩子已被枪杀

"Can you come now?"

“你能赶过来吗”

Tears in her eyes, "Can you calm down?

她已泪眼湿透那边说着“冷静点”

Please,ma'am,can you calm down?"

“你不能失控啊”

But it rained fire in the city that day

那日天如火硝

They say

人们传言道

A river of blood in the streets

血河染红了整条街

No love in the streets

没有丝毫爱的温意

And then came silence in the city that day

随后冷清充斥了这个城市

They say

他们说啊

Just another one gone

生死离别乃常事

And they tell her, "Move on"

让她“往前看吧” 

And she's stuck there singing

她一动不动放声歌唱道

Baby, don't you close your eyes

我的宝贝你倒是睁眼啊

This could be our final time

让我见你最后一面

And you know I'm horrible at saying goodbye

你也知道我不舍告别啊

And I think of all you could've done

脑子里都是你尚未完成的事

At least you'll stay forever young

唉你至少能免受老去的痛

I guess you've picked the perfect way to die

你概是选择了最舒适的解脱

Ooh, I guess you picked the perfect way to die

如此年轻便消逝于世你概是得多于失的

New job, new city, new her

她现已重获新生来到另一个城市重寻归所

Bright eyes, you would've been proud if you knew her

但凡是知道她的遭遇都会为她欣喜

Flashing lights in the mirror, pull over, pull over

眼前灯亮若隐若现

A couple nights in detention then it's over

有时于深夜殇存但希望还是破灭了

 

歌词点津：

At least you'll stay forever young

唉你至少能免受老去的痛

点津：at least 至少；
