The Wonder Years - Raining In Kyoto

Raining in Kyoto
It's flooding the streets
I'm nursing a coffee from a vending machine
I saw the god of rice and a fox with a key
I woke up blind to the headache
Grinding my teeth
Confused and alone and taking pills to sleep
To soften your accents but they don't let me dream

Raining in Kyoto
My breath turns into steam
I'll buy you a candle, not even sure what it means
I'm cursed to the matches
I'm drowning my grief
And a man stood close by, smiled at me
I rang the bell like he did
I told you I'm sorry
A makeshift funeral, I tried to set you free

You're half asleep
And I bought you a radio to drown out the machines
Hospital light
You asked about the way you wish they'd let you outside

Raining in Kyoto
I'm starting to shake
They'll hold a service tomorrow
I'm an ocean away
Reach into my pocket, found a small paper crane
It's been over a year now
April turns into May
I barely stopped moving, I've been so fucking afraid
Too much of a coward to even visit your grave

You're half awake
And I bought you a radio to play the blues away
With my hand to hold
You asked about the way you wish they'd let you die at home

You're half awake
And I bought you a radio to play the blues away
Hospital light
You asked about the way you wish they'd let you outside

Goodnight
Goodnight
Goodbye
