Wake up call, it’s 5am

Don’t they know I’ve been wide-open-eyed since I got in?

Je suis ‘merican. Ici pour le travail. Excusez mon français

It’s my first time overseas. I’m about to turn 29

I wish that my phone would stop crying

That I’ve got reason this seems isolated;

Reason to be fucking wired

I just nearly got bricked by a Kymco

And I’m worried that I’m losing my mind

I hate this place because it’s so strange

Hate how it’s interjected the real

Into a cut-and-bone-dry routine

Resent the universal appеal

I mean, really, this place isn’t so strangе

The people seem honest and ideal

But I hate how it’s disrupted routine

‘cause I love routine above everything

Wi-Fi network bars stand firm upright

You’ve just sent a message that you’ve arrived

Merci mes étoiles chanceuses

Ce n'est pas the best experience I’ve had thus far

Within a minute of keying you in

I have noticed that I’ve stopped freaking out

Know you know you have the power to calm me

And you know you keep a stillness that simply

Decompresses all the tension within me

Makes me feel less like I’m gonna burst

And I love you for the person you are

Like I loved you for the person you were

All the changes that you’ve seen in yourself?

Those changes didn’t even occur

Accepting that has been

The uphill battle

We forget we both can read

Each others’ inner monologues

Without the need for

Putting words to temperatures

If I seemed unsure

It’s cause you seemed unsure

Wake up, buddy, it’s time to give up the fight

We’ve never been in a city so grey and so bright

We got another eight hours of light

I guess it’s time we had a moment of life
