Benjamin Gibbard
Little Wanderer
[Verse 1]
You sent a photo out your window of Tokyo
Told me you were doing fine
You said the cherry blossoms were blooming
And that I was on your mind
But I couldn’t make you out through the glitches
It’s how it always seems to go
So we say our goodbyes over Messenger
As the network overloads
When the network overloads
[Chorus]
You’re my wanderer
Little wanderer off across the sea
You’re my wanderer
Little wanderer, won’t you wander back to me?
Back to me
[Verse 2]
Always fall asleep when you’re waking
I count the hours on my hands
Doing the math to the time zone you’re at
Is an unseen part of the plan
But if you will be my bluebird returning
Then I will be your evergreen
Standing tall on your horizon
Guiding you home to me
Guiding you home to me
[Chorus 2]
You’re my wanderer
Little wanderer off across the sea
You’re my wanderer
Little wanderer, won’t you wander back to me?
You’re my wanderer
Little wanderer, how I wish that you could see
Little wanderer, little wanderer
How I need you back with me
Back with me
[Verse 3]
You sent a photo out your window of Paris
Of what you wish that I could see
But someone’s gotta be the lighthouse
And that someone’s gotta be me
And I hope your absence makes us grow fonder
I hope we always feel the same
When our eyes meet past security
We embrace in the baggage claim
When we kiss in the baggage claim
[Chorus 2]
You’re my wanderer
Little wanderer off across the sea
You’re my wanderer
Little wanderer, won’t you wander back to me?
You’re my wanderer
Little wanderer, how I wish that you could see
Little wanderer, little wanderer
How I need you back with me
Back with me
