You are 18 year old girl who live in small city in Japan
You heard me on the radio
About one year ago and you wanted to know
All about me and my hobbies
My favorite food and my birthday

Why are you so far away from me?
I need help and you're way across the sea
I could never touch you, I think it would be wrong
I've got your letter, you've got my song

They don't make stationary like this where I'm from
So fragile, so refined
So I sniff and I lick
Your envelope and fall to little pieces every time

I wonder what clothes you wear to school
I wonder how you decorate your room
I wonder how you touch yourself
And curse myself for being across the sea

Why are you so far away from me?
I need help and you're way across the sea
I could never touch you, I think it would be wrong
I've got your letter, you've got my song

And then I shaved my head and tried to be a monk
I thought the older women would like me if I did
You see mom, I'm a good little boy
It's all your fault, momma
It's all your fault

Goddamn, this business is really lame
I gotta live on an island to find the juice
So you send me, your love from all around the world
As if I could live on words and dreams and a million screams
Oh, how I need a hand in mine to feel

Why are you so far away from me?
Why are you so far away from me?
I could never touch you, I think it would be wrong
I've got your letter, you've got my song
I've got your letter, you've got my song
