Across the Sea
You are 18-year-old girl who live in small city in Japan
You heard me on the radio 'bout one year ago and you wanted to know
All about me
And my hobbies
My favorite food, my birthday
Why are you so far away from me?
I need help, and you're way across the sea
I could never touch you
I think it would be wrong, oh
I've got your letter, you've got my song
They don't make stationery like this where I'm from
So fragile, so refined
So I sniff
(So I sniff)
And I lick
(And I lick)
Your envelope unfolds to little pieces every time
I wonder what clothes you wear to school
I wonder how you decorate your room
I wonder how you touch yourself and curse myself for being across the sea
Why are you so far away from me?
I need help, and you're way across the sea
I could never touch you
I think it would be wrong, oh
I've got your letter, you've got my song
[solemn guitar solo]
(Oo oo ooo)
(Oo oo ooo)
(Oo oo ooo)
(Oo oo ooo)
(Oo oo oo ooo)
At 10 I shaved my head and tried to be a monk
I thought the older women would like me if I did
Y'see, Mom
I'm a good little boy
(Good little boy)
It's all your fault, Mama
It's all your fault!
Goddamn, this business is really lame
I got a little island to find the juice
So you send
(So you send)
Me your love
(Me your love)
From all around the world
(From all around)
As if I could live off
Words and dreams and a million screams, oh
How I need a hand in mine to feel!
Why are you so far away from me?
Why are you so far away from me?
I could never touch you
I think it would be wrong, oh
I've got your letter, you've got my song
(I've got your letter)
I've got your letter, you've got my song.
