Lyrics

[Intro]
Moshi moshi
Can you hear me
Can you hear me now
[Verse 1]
Your voice is coming through the rain
Half a word, then gone again
On your side the morning’s new
On my side the night is blue
Lanterns floating past my street
Paper glowing, paper sweet
Every crackle, every hum
Sounds like you’re about to come
[Chorus]
Paper lantern static
Light that flickers on the line
Paper lantern static
Your heart is breaking up with mine
Say it once more
Say it once more
[Verse 2]
I count the seconds in the hiss
Fill the gaps with what I miss
You say something soft and low
Was it “stay” or was it “go”
Oyasumi, you begin
Then the silence rushes in
I keep the receiver warm
Like a candle in a storm
[Chorus]
Paper lantern static
Light that flickers on the line
Paper lantern static
Your heart is breaking up with mine
Say it once more
Say it once more
[Bridge]
If the wires come undone
I’ll send a lantern to the sun
Write your name across the flame
Let it carry you the same
[Instrumental]
[Final Chorus]
Paper lantern static
Light that flickers on the line
Paper lantern static
Your heart is breaking up with mine
Say it once more
Say it
[Outro]
Mata ne
Can you hear me
Mata ne
