Day off in Kyoto

Got bored at the temple

Looked around at the 7-Eleven

To tell me you're getting sober

And you wrote me a letter

But I don't have to read it

[Chorus]

I'm gonna kill you

If you don't beat me to it

Dreaming through Tokyo skies

I wanted to see the world

Then I flew over the ocean

And I changed my mind (Woo)

[Verse 2]

Sunset's been a freak show

On the weekend, so

I've been driving out to the suburbs

To park at the Goodwill

And stare at the chemtrails

With my little brother

He said you called on his birthday

You were off by, like, ten days

But you get a few points for tryin'

Remember getting the truck fixed

When you let us drive it

Twenty-five felt like flying

[Chorus]

I don't forgive you

But please don't hold me to it

Born under Scorpio skies

I wanted to see the world

Through your eyes until it happened

Then I changed my mind

[Outro]

Guess I lied

I'm a liar

Who lies

'Cause I'm a liar
