Lyrics
Little Wanderer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You send a photo out your window of tokyo
Told me you were doing fine
You said the cherry blossoms were blooming
And that I was on your mind
But I couldn't make you out through the glitches
It's how it always seem to go
So we say our goodbyes through messenger
As the network overloads
When the network overloads
You're my wanderer
Little wanderer
Off across the sea
You're my wanderer
Little wanderer
Won't you wander back to me?
Back to me
Always fall asleep when you're waking
I count the hours on my hands
Making the math of the timezones you're at
(?) An unseen part of the plan
But if you'd be my bluebird returning
I'd be your evergreen
Standing high on your horizon
Guiding you home to me
Guiding you home to me
You're my wanderer
Little wanderer
Off across the sea
You're my wanderer
Little wanderer
Won't you wander back to me?
You're my wanderer
Little wanderer
How I wish that you could see
Little wanderer
Little wanderer
How I need you back with me
Back with me
You send a photo out your window of paris
Of what you wish that I could see
But someone's got to be the lifehouse
And that someone's got to be me
And I hope your absence makes us grow fonder
I hope we always feel the same
When our eyes meet past security
We embrace in the baggage claim
We kiss in the baggage claim
You're my wanderer
Little wanderer
Off across the sea
You're my wanderer
Little wanderer
Won't you wander back to me?
You're my wanderer
Little wanderer
How I wish that you could see
Little wanderer
Little wanderer
How I need you back with me
Back with me
