[Intro]
Ichi, ni, san, go
[Verse 1]
If I hadn't hit that red light, I wouldn't have seen
That bluebird on the telephone wire
No such thing as gold if nobody holds
The metal to the fire
You're living in my head, my cheeks are turning red
It's the butterfly effect
It's something only God knows, how I met the right guy
When I took a couple wrong lefts
[Chorus]
What are the odds touching you feels like electricity? Uh
What are the odds you like how I say "epitome"?
What are the odds we fit perfectly? I like looking up at you
You like looking down at me
Yeah, what are the odds I would hear our song
At a coffee shop in Kyoto?
[Verse 2]
Watashi wa bukiyōdesu
Ashimoto ni hana ga mieru
Koronda toki, watashi wa ureshikute kansha suru
You're living in my head, my cheeks are turning red
It's the butterfly effect
It's something only God knows, how I met the right guy
When I took a couple wrong lefts
[Chorus]
What are the odds touching you feels like electricity? Uh
What are the odds you like how I say "epitome"?
What are the odds we fit perfectly? I like looking up at you
You like looking down at me
Yeah, what are the odds I would hear our song
At a coffee shop in Kyoto?
[Bridge]
Kanōsei wa dorekurai desu ka?
Kanōsei wa dorekurai desu ka?
Can't take the credit, I couldn't have planned it
What are the chances?
Kanōsei wa dorekurai desu ka?
[Chorus]
What are the odds touching you feels like electricity?
What are the odds you like how I say "epitome"?
What are the odds we fit perfectly? I like looking up at you
You like looking down at me
Yeah, what are the odds I would hear our song
At a coffee shop in Kyoto?
[Outro]
In Kyoto
Oh, in Kyoto
In Kyoto

This is a song about serendipity. Life has the coolest way of bringing you exactly where you need to be. I’ve been to Japan 18 times in the past 10 years so it holds a very special place in my heart and I started picking up some Japanese along the way. So what better way to sing a song about things...
