about

Banned From Japan - Love Song

Banned From Japan is a vibe. A San Fernando Valley, raw and sincere, vaguely feels like skate-boarding vibe. Here singer Matthew Earle sticks to his guns of brutally honest lyrics drenched in snarky catchy melodies, this time regaling us with a story of forbidden love found and lost. Appearing this year on Sunday Night Salad Season 4, Banned From Japan has become a fan favorite in MNE Land and we are proud to have them back on the comp another year.

Banned From Japan - Love Song

"Somehow she came across my feed
And I thought she was really cute
I scrolled through all her pictures
Might have jerked off to a few
Because I never thought I'd meet her
I knew that wasn't true
She was dating my homie
He was in the pictures too

Us three went to Denny's
A stop on the ride home
She was flirting at the table
Like her boyfriend didn't notice
I was flirting back
He probably cared
Two double entendres shared
I dropped them off and
watched them walk up to the door
She turned around and stared

For one whole second

Now were hanging out and holding hands inside my truck
As we're just friends but damn I swear sometimes
It feels like we're in love
Because we cuddle and we talk about it
Sarcasm is key without it
No pretending we don't gotta
We don't gotta
We don't
This type of thing weighs heavy on your mind
When you can't stop singing and you can't stop crying
Cause it's over now
I lost two friends
If there's a lesson here I hope I've learned it

She said "let's not pretend"
I dropped her off at his house and we never spoke again."
