[Verse 1]

Tide rolling after tide

The tail of a feather kite

Sets sail for a cloudless sky

Oh how I yearn to be

As lighthearted, carefree

Such daydreams have occupied my time

[Verse 2]

How many times have I been passed over?

Are miracles mere lottery numbers?

The stupid game that never gives

But still an idiot must live

And live to hear you

[Chorus]

Chotto matte

I need to get away from the sameness of everything

Buy a ticket, board a plane to take my leave of this place

And let me wade across the ocean to hear you

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]

If I could have you for a midsummer

The sweetest slice of what my days offer

I'd like it served on a plate

If only life could work that way

Oh to hear you

[Chorus]

Chotto matte

I need to get away from the sameness of everything

Buy a ticket, board a plane to take my leave of this place

And let me wade across the ocean to hear you

Chotto matte

I need to get away from the sameness of everything

Buy a ticket, board a plane to take my leave of this place

And let me wade across the ocean to hear you

[Outro]

To hear you

To hear you
