Japanese To English
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.
I went as far as losing sleep
I went as far as messing up my life
Unloving still strike me difference
A million miles away from home
And fifteen from a payphone
Where we sat lonely on the sand
Where we sat lonely on the sand
Where we sat lonely on the sand
Where we sat lonely on the sand
You're ten years older
You translate Japanese to English
And English to Japan-ese
It's not that simple
This dictionary
Never has a word
For the way I'm feeling
And it's nothing plain for me
Of a different God and moral
What if I
Laid my head down on your stomach
And put my mouth to your hand
I cannot translate
Japanese to English
Or English to Japan-ese
What I had to say is unsaid
What I had to do is undone
And if it was done
I'm sure it would have killed our hour
Where we sat lonely on the sand
Where we sat lonely on the sand
Where we sat lonely on the sand
Where we sat lonely on the sand
Above the water the awful gray
Our current from Japan
Didn't sweep away
