Japan Alone

Verse 1

Booked for two back in April

Now the seats so quiet next to mine

Shinkansen down the coast alone

Cherry petals falling on the line

Temple bells in Kyoto ringing

No one here to hold my hand

Midnight ramen steam and silence

Sake warm like I understand

Pre-Chorus

Weeks ago we talked about this

Now I'm talking to the moon

Every shrine I bow and whisper

Wish that she was in this room

Chorus

Japan alone is beautiful

But lonely's got a way to bloom

I planned this trip for both of us

Now I'm just a ghost in her perfume

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Kyo-to

Kyo-to

Verse 2

Neon soaking through the rain

Osaka crowded and so bright

Everyone is laughing somewhere

I keep eating for us two tonight

Took a photo by the torii

Just a stranger's silhouette

Sent it to her number twice then

Deleted every single text

Pre-Chorus

Months ago we mapped these streets together

Now I trace them by myself

Every station sign a memory

Every corner someone else

Chorus

Japan alone is beautiful

But lonely's got a way to bloom

I planned this trip for both of us

Now I'm just a ghost in her perfume

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Kyo-to

Kyo-to

Bridge

Mount Fuji in the distance

Snowcap steady and still

Guess some things you can't hold onto

Guess some things never will

Chorus

Japan alone is beautiful

But lonely's got a way to bloom

I planned this trip for both of us

Now I'm just a ghost in her perfume

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Kyo-to

Kyo-to
