lyrics

Much to the dismay of your sensei, you were skipping class
To meet me outside by the soccer field in the tall grass
When I first met you, you had on the coolest clothes
Just like a model out of the Japanese Vogue
You took my hand, you liked my band, you gave me fashion tips
But most of all and above all, you let me touch those lips

Pass up drinks and put out smokes
You're so beautiful, I puke and choke
Your uncle's Takashi Miike, yeah, you're mine
Origami valentine

You tried to teach me to use chopsticks and I quickly failed
To grasp the noodles with my hand, so shaky and pale
When I first met you, you did not know how to dance
Nor did I, so we just writhed and then it was romance
I love the way you giggle, girl, and I'm your biggest fan
Except for the large one you sometimes carry in your hand

Your friends all think that I'm a jerk
My stupid jokes don't always work
But you still like me and I know you're mine
Origami valentine

(Waiting on you, waiting just for you)

Though I'm no Rivers Cuomo, I could write you a song or two
Compare you to Yoko Ono, but oh no!
That's so not called for and it's so not you
But you're a pipe dream, baby
(Yes, I'm in your dreams)
I'll never know you, baby
(Unless you cross the sea)

Origami valentine, origami valentine

I will never know you, you're not real
This valentine is just surreal
I closely follow J-Pop trends
But you can't hear me in the end

(Waiting on you, waiting just for you)

I will never know you, you're not real
This valentine is just surreal

Origami valentine
