Lyrics:
She cooked him some rice,
And he made doubt her a bit
He didn’t drink wine
and she didn’t eat meat
It wasn’t supposed to be like this
She wasn’t supposed to feel like this
He wasn’t supposed to be so nice
They weren’t supposed to be
It’s her ultimate challenge
It’s her ultimate chance
to choose being two or one
What can I say? I don’t even know why, she’s worried,
so worried about it
She wants no routines, or another pair of strangers,
so used to each other
It wasn’t supposed to be like this
She wasn’t supposed to feel like this
and he will make her see
She doesn’t want to forget what she wanted when they first met,
taking things for granted
To avoid giving up on dreams and wishes they each had,
not communicating
It’s the ultimate challenge
It’s the ultimate chance
to choose being two or one
It wasn’t supposed to be like this
She wasn’t supposed to feel like this
and he will make her see
There is place for them both
No matter the time she needed for herself,
it was too good to keep waiting
This time it won’t be the same
It wasn’t supposed to be like this
She wasn’t supposed to feel like this
and he will make her see
It wasn’t supposed to be like this
She wasn’t supposed to feel like this
and he will make her see
The experimental spirit permeating this collection of Japanese acid folk foreshadowed the arrivals of city pop, the psych revival, and folktronica. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 25, 2024
