Waktunya telah tiba lagi
Slowly walking down the steps
Perlahan berjalan menuruni tangga
To where she would have been
Ke mana dia seharusnya berada
If only they were seventeen
Kalau saja mereka berumur tujuh belas tahun
Waiting patiently
Menunggu dengan sabar
He stood between a fraying seam
Dia berdiri di antara jahitan berjumbai
Hiding from himself
Bersembunyi dari dirinya
As well as everybody else
Serta orang lain
Without permission
Tanpa izin
His face became wet
Wajahnya menjadi basah
He thought that he learned
Dia berpikir bahwa dia belajar
How to not get upset
Bagaimana tidak kesal?
From folded notes in envelopes
Dari catatan terlipat dalam amplop
Meet me beneath the moon
Temui aku di bawah bulan
Don’t go too soon
Jangan pergi terlalu cepat
She went too soon
Dia pergi terlalu cepat
The time has come again
Waktunya telah tiba lagi
Slowly walking down the steps
Perlahan berjalan menuruni tangga
To where she would have been
Ke mana dia seharusnya berada
If only they were seventeen
Kalau saja mereka berumur tujuh belas tahun
