Japanese

(альбом: The Lexington - 2023)

Was taught you plant flowers with
Seeds and a hammer
Was taught that if you got too high
They kick out the ladder
Gimme something fragile and
It's probably gonna shatter

And I hate it
Why can't I be happy for once?
Happy because you give me
Everything I've been missing

Love might as well be in Japanese
Or some other language I don't speak
It sounds pretty and a little bit sad
And I'm trying my best but I don't understand
All of it's lost on me
Like Japanese

You were in your purple dress
On the first day of college
I could light a room on fire
Without ever being honest
And everything we didn't say yeah, well
It came back to haunt us

And I hate it
Why can't I be happy for once?
Happy because you give me
Everything I've been missing

Love might as well be in Japanese
Or some other language I don't speak
It sounds pretty and a little bit sad
But it's a whole bunch of things
That I don't understand
All of it's lost on me
Like Japanese
Japanese

You've always been the safe word
I've always been the panic
You've always been my lifeboat, yeah...
And I'm your Titanic

Love might as well be in Japanese
Or some other language I don't speak
It sounds pretty and a little bit sad
But it's a whole bunch of words
That I don't understand
And all of it's lost on me
Like Japanese
