lyrics

It's taken something like three months for it to sink in
My grandma's birthday came this year, it made me think of you again
Something in the heavy air, steam from the bathwater on my skin
made me feel as if we're there, on the tiled floor in Tokyo at 2am

It'll still be Australia Day even though we're not there to hear the Hottest 100 play
I can imagine those exploding stars on the river at midnight

That night we drank ourselves awake, needed more booze to kick on
And when the other's left like fools we kissed each other as we fell amongst the futons
Later in the night we cried and held each other on the floor
I locked the bathroom door, I've never cried like that in front of anyone before

I took off all my clothes
I got into the bath to soak myself in all my woes but you came in and said,
Please, Anni, I can't see you cry anymore
and then you lifted me out of the water and you took me to bed

It's still the same time of day though we're seasons apart and a Pacific Ocean away
It's still 10:30am and I know the kettle will be on

Now it's our first Christmas apart
It's been 10 months since our trip to Japan
We said we'd go back in a year or so with your family
well, honey, how I fucked that plan
I fucked it all up, dear
I didn't think that it would be like this by the end of the year
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I say
I'm sorry I left you
I'm sorry I still showed up late at your place that time
And I'm sorry

Making and performing on Whadjuk Noongar boodjar. Sovereignty was never ceded.

Melancholy-folk that makes the Perth mundane sound somewhat poetic.
