lyrics
(a kettle clicks off) (mmm... mmm) It's late here. Early there. Your hoodie hangs on my chair I talk to it like you're there The rice cooker light glows blue It keeps me company, not you (not you, not you) You taught me wǎn ān means goodnight I say it to the hallway light (wǎn ān, wǎn ān) Wǎn ān, wǎn ān, my far away Wǎn ān, I'll love you anyway Wǎn ān, wǎn ān, the moon's on shift Wǎn ān — my sleep's the only gift (wǎn ān... wǎn ān...) I burned the eggs at half past nine Ate them anyway, tasted fine Wǒ xiǎng nǐ in the frying pan Missing you where the oil ran (wǒ xiǎng nǐ) Wǎn ān, wǎn ān, my far away Wǎn ān, I'll love you anyway Wǎn ān, wǎn ān, the moon's on shift Wǎn ān — my sleep's the only gift Fourteen hours, one same moon Your morning is my afternoon (a plane hums somewhere) If I whisper on the count of three Will the ceiling carry me? Wǎn ān, wǎn ān, my far away Wǎn ān, I'll love you anyway Wǎn ān, wǎn ān, the moon's on shift Wǎn ān — my sleep's the only gift (wǎn ān... wǎn ān...) The rice cooker light glows blue (sleep now, sleep now)
