Breaking News Intro
NAV Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was sunny outside
Uh, I had just come home from a, uh, little errand to the grocery store
And, all of sudden, bam
It just hit
And, you, you could just tell this was really different, instantly
From the other little tremors that we've had before
I mean it just picked up with intensity
A gentle little shaking
And things started coming off the shelves
Things started falling off our desks
And you could hear this strange, eerie, creaking sound
Of all the buildings, all around us, as they were kind of shaken by this, uh
By the tremor of the ground
A tsunami warning has been issued
