Hikikomori

Do you know I dreamed of your hands above my head?
You put out a big fire like a firefighter does over the forest
You with your dad's eyes but see the world like mom
Can you tell me how you manage to beat boredom without losing your cool?
My troubled soul, what trouble you cause me

And you'd get mad if I stepped on the couch with my shoes on
Who knows where you've walked, I bet I'll get sick
We're like shut-ins who love each other from afar
And search for each other at night through the cracks in the room (ah-ah)

I try to cheat karma by going to bed early
I smile at the cashiers who always give me less change, oh, oh
You who thank the waiter a thousand times for the bread (uh-uh)
Teach me to smile at life even when I'm alone like a dog
My troubled soul, what trouble you cause me

And you'd get mad if I stepped on the couch with my shoes on
Who knows where you've walked, I bet I'll get sick
We're like shut-ins who love each other from afar
And search for each other at night through the cracks in the room

We're like shut-ins
And I dance with your absence
To a Pink Floyd song
And maybe I'm being arrogant
But I hope Barbero will talk about us
The military trucks downtown passing on our street
The one of the first date and the last fight

And you'd get mad if I stepped on the couch with my shoes on
Who knows where you've walked, I bet I'll get sick
We're like shut-ins who love each other from afar
And search for each other at night through the cracks in the room

We're like shut-ins
Who love each other from afar
