Japanese for Busy People (feat. Cory Allen)

It was the summer of 2005

What a time to be alive

Adjacent circles on the Lower East Side

Our paths didn't cross so much as collide

Our dreams aloft on a mutual dawn

Ritual breakfast in the morning sun

I was happy just to tag along

Share your air on the old Great Lawn

One weekend out in the Rockaway

Counting waves and you suddenly say

As if reciting a nursery rhyme

If you want you can come back to mine

So we danced 'til the dawn cast our shadows on the wall

When I heard that you had left him I was ready for the call

Now we're making small talk over coffee with your friends

I feel a vibe I love your tribe and I don't want for this to end

The envelope came in gold and green

We're looking forward to you on the team

I turned to you and you were fast asleep

Smiling deep in a mutual dream

What's the use in the face of fate

It's never early and it's never late

Won't make a promise that was meant to break

On that weekend in the Rockaway

So we danced 'til the dawn cast our shadows on the wall

When I heard that you had left him I was ready for the call

Now we're making small talk over coffee with your friends

I feel a vibe I love your tribe and I don't want for this to end

But I'll be leaving the fall

I thought that you should know

So we danced 'til the dawn cast our shadows on the wall

When I heard that you had left him I was ready for the call

Now we're making small talk over coffee with your friends

I feel a vibe I love your tribe and I don't want for this to end

But I'll be leaving the fall

I thought that you should know
