Just Another Stranger

Twenty-four years has passed
Twenty-four years has passed
Twenty-four years has passed

Twenty-four years has passed
Twenty-four years since I saw you last
Twenty-four hours in a day
I wish
What if
I was still near with you dad
I said
Twenty-four years has passed
Twenty-four years since I saw you last
Twenty-four hours in a day
I wish
What if

I was still near with you dad

Growing up I was an ordinary kid
Loved when dad got off work
We would go do something special
And some things that we did
Go to parks, play catch
I'm certain got my hand eye coordination in checks at those times
Quality memories just like wines
Get better reminiscing as cloudy days go by
Little Hiro was eight at the time
Man he needed you

Just turned twenty-four dad
I'm still missing you

I wish that I knew you more
I grew up without you I'm poor
You grew old not anywhere near me
I wish that you weren't
Just another stranger
I wish that I knew you more
Grew up without you I'm poor

You grew old not anywhere near me
I wish that you weren't
Just another stranger

Thinking back man I took you for granted
I should have spent more times with you
Instead of games I rented
But how was I supposed to know
Every kid in second grade
Thinks they will have eternity with their dad
And there's no way that I would predict your marriage to end
Remove me to a different country where they call it heaven
It was no such thing to me the hell I was in
I couldn't communicate to anyone
But my older sister and one friend
I felt like I was trapped in a body
With with mouth sewn shut, incapable of speaking like a baby
I put my mind to America and english
I pushed away from Japan and all the fatherless anguish
As the years went on, I became better at my foreign language
Daddy you starting to fade same with my first language
I felt like I was robbed of more catching balls back and forth
Now, all we tossing is some small fucking talk
Step father took your role know you hate that
I do too
But he came around, he's a good dude
Had our differences, I even threw him into the wall and hit his face
But one thing that we had in common is space
You were nowhere near me

I know it's not your fault, but I'm still mad
I wish that I knew about some experiences you had
I don't know anything about you
I don't know anything about you

I wish that I knew you more
I grew up without you I'm poor
You grew old not anywhere near me
I wish that you weren't
Just another stranger
