Lyrics and translation
Original
Speaking a different language, standing six feet apart.
Wanting to see you more often, but visiting is hard.
-At least it feels like it.
-Nothing I say can matter, a quiet voice on empty air.
It's been months since you quit speaking, assuming I'm disturbed.
It's 1 AM in Tokyo, the sun is up at home.
Six hours to my house, two years. Seems further when I'm close.
Wake up, I can't let you just lay there and sleep.
Please, wake up, there's still time if you stay up with me.
Shame dripping out of my skin. Both born in July.
When the weather gets nice, I'll come see you again. I'll bring you some flowers.
It's 3 AM in Tokyo, the sun is up at home.
Six hours to my house, two years. Seems further when I'm close.
It seems like I'm afraid of you, like I try to stay away.
Hate to look at what became of you, an alien in gray.
Wake up, I can't let you just lay there and sleep.
Please, wake up, there's still time if you stay up with me. Please, wake up,
I'll call home every day if you'd stay.
Please, wake up, I'll call home, I'll call home, I'll call home.
There's cat tails growing in the ditch where we would cross the road to skip rocks and sit by the creek.
Sharp rocks littering the front lawn of the house you raised me in back in high school. The sharp rocks have gone, there's nothing left familiar.
Everything reminds of you, same walking down memory lane.
And I sat here missing everything from my seedy apartment. I can't let you lay there and sleep.
Still time if you stay up with me.
I won't ignore all the people I love anymore if you give me a second now.
It's 5 AM in Tokyo and half a world away.
I'm sitting in a parking lot, you're laying in your grave.
And now I am afraid of you and all that it's all done.
I didn't try hard enough to be a proper son.
Please, wake up.
Please, wake up.
