Red House Painters - Japanese To English Lyrics

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

We reach out lonely on the sand
We reach out lonely on the sand
We reach out lonely on the sand
We reach out lonely on the sand

You're ten years older
And 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 blame for me
Of a different dial 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 the hurt
I'm sure it would not kill our hour

We reach out lonely on the sand
We reach out lonely on the sand
We reach out lonely on the sand
We reach out lonely on the sand
Above the water the aweful grey
Our current from Japan
Can't sweep away
