Not Two

[Intro: Lokeye] All my life I’ve waited for this Sitting window seat, 5a, on a little horizon Miniplane Coasting the runway’s heatwaves for an opening My smile pulling Away from the grounded planes and cars The stewardess babbling as we Accelerate into liftoff 1st cloud, 2nd cloud, 3rd cloud, and then whiteout [Hook] Nothing matters here, not two, just one (repeat 8x) [Verse 1] I touched down when I was 20 Adidas on my feet Hopped out the plane to block the sun What it took to feel this free Last week I hurt a girl Said I’d take her to japan Didn’t think she’d use my email To break up with my best friend In Tokyo there’s a saying One yen for every step No escaping what you’ve left Unless you jump in front a train I spent my time skateboarding to get lost Hiding in the highest buildings And staring at the rain As a child I saw blue energy Hidden behind Japan’s doors The most evil of all forces But in Kyoto while hiding from a typhoon in a forest It was plain to see the evil was in me I finished bottle after bottle of sake 7-star cigarette packs Rapping with my Yakuza friends Throwing rice at the sumo matches And watching them bounce off the wrestler’s footsteps as they stomped on the mat [Hook] Nothing matters here, not two, just one (repeat 8x) [Verse 2] An American girl in Japan rose early in the morning and stretched While her host family slept She made her bed and swept the floor Watered plants, rode her bike to the store To pick up fish for breakfast Her heart was bigger than the sky So the clouds spelled out her name in a dream It was in Japanese, she wrote it down with a pen Her parents said “Mikumiya”, a soul that’s beautifully open Or beautiful nothingness This was the woman I’m destined to fall in love with We just hadn’t met, it just wasn’t time By the day I arrived, she’d left on a jet Two lifelines on a course to collide Both of us seekers, we both had to find Our love was inside Just open your mind And empty yourself back to nothing to be truly alive [Hook] Nothing matters here, not two, just one (repeat 8x) [Outtro] Nothing matters here, it really does matter Nothing matters here, it really does matter
