Nearly Midnight, Honolulu - Neko Case

Hey, little kid that I saw at the bus stop one day

It was nearly midnight in Honolulu

We were waiting for the shuttle to take us to the aeroplane

When your mother said, your mother said

Like I couldn’t hear her, she said

«Get the fuck away from me!

Why don’t you ever shut up?

Get the fuck away from me!»

Oh, oh

Well, I just want to say that it happened

'Cause one day when you ask yourself

«Did it really happen?»

You won’t believe it, but yes, it did

And I’m sorry

And I’m sorry

'Cause it happens everyday

They won’t believe you

When you tell them

They won’t believe you

When you say, «My mother, she did not love me

My mother, she did not love me»

No (no)

Some days you feel like a cartoon

And people will rush to make excuses for you

You’ll hear yourself complain

But don’t you ever shut up

Please, kid, have your say

'Cause I still love you

Even if I don’t see you again
