Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Oh, thanks. But you don't have to. I can

open the door. Okay. So, this shouldn't

take more than an hour. But if you can't

stay here, I'll call Becky and then

she'll find you and then you can just

pull up. Don't worry. I'll be here.

I think I forgot to eat today. Should I

pick you up some sushi?

No, I ate too much mercury. I'll be

fine. I'm good. I'm actually kind of

nauseous,

so Yeah.

[Music]
