《If It’s Bad News， It Can Wait》歌词

[00:00:00] If It's Bad News, It Can Wait - Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate)

[00:00:03] My three best friends and I planned a weeklong trip

[00:00:10] For our spring break during our senior year of high school

[00:00:19] We were undeterred and free and grown

[00:00:24] We left before the sun rose and began the first leg

[00:00:35] To Virginia Beach for a couple of days

[00:00:42] Before heading out to camp on the outer banks

[00:00:51] When we arrived we spent the first night playing video games

[00:00:59] We brought from home in our hotel room

[00:01:09] In the morning we ventured out into the world

[00:01:16] And wandered around until late at night

[00:01:22] Like spectators or ghosts

[00:01:27] As artificial lights burned brighter than daylight

[00:01:35] The boardwalk was teeming with youth

[00:01:40] Brashly claiming adulthood like it was the last day on earth

[00:01:48] We retreated back to our hotel exhausted

[00:01:56] The phone in our room rang out at an ungodly hour

[00:02:01] When only bad things are on the other end

[00:02:07] I answered and gave it to Danny

[00:02:10] So he could hear his brother passed away

[00:02:17] He dropped the phone and bolted out into the hall

[00:02:21] Blind with grief

[00:02:24] We ran out after him unsure of what to do

[00:02:33] He threw off our embrace and escaped down the stairs to the beach

[00:02:40] And haunted the shore of the Atlantic for hours and hours

[00:02:50] I waited and watched from a nearby park bench

[00:02:57] When he came back we got into the car and drove the twelve hours back home

[00:03:08] And made it just in time for the funeral
