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, quiet voice on empty air
It's been months since you quit speaking, assumed an empty stare

It's 1 AM in Tokyo
The Sun is up at home
Six hours from my house to yours
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'd 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 from my house to yours
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
A name we had engraved

Wake up
I can't let you just lay there and sleep
Please wake up
There's still time if you'd 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 cattails growing in the ditch
Where we would cross the road
To skip rocks, and sit by the creek
Car parts littering the front lawn
Of the house you raised me in, back in high school
The town falls apart, there's nothing left familiar
Everything that meant anything broken down, or it died
And I sat here missing everything from my city apartment
I can't let you lay there and sleep
Still time if you'd stay up with me
I won't ignore all the people I love anymore
If you'd 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, to know that it's all done
I didn't try hard enough to be a proper son
Please wake up
Please wake up
