about

In the third single of our ‘Reconnect’ project, Kenny plucks you the courage to ask his new found love interest out on a date to eat sushi at the top of Birmingham Library!

lyrics

Uncontrollable, burning question inside me
Would you join me at lunchtime
On top of the library?
Call it a date if you want to define it
Just lunch is much better
When there’s a partner to dine with

There’s a great little spot, a phenomenal scene
We can feast on the finest from under the sea
Oh, I’m leaning...
What I’m feeling...
Is taking you for eastern oriental cuisine

Oh, I want sush on the roof
With you
A fishy, ricey platter with vegetables in batter for two
Sush with a view
Who cares about the weather when everything is better with you.

An adrenaline rush
And a quickening heartbeat,
The tension between us
Is like potent wasabi (potent wasabi)
The mixture of a high elevation
And a bento box
Is a taste sensation!

Now my expectations have all been surpassed
And then you go and hit me with an
"ITADAKIMASU!"

Oh, the view from up here
is best you can get
I’ve been needing to take you
since when we first met
So let’s california ROLL
Time to tamago-go-go-GO

Oh, I want sush on the roof
With you
Try the takoyaki and make your tuna maki debut
Don’t mind if I do
Who cares about the weather when everything is better with you.

But alas, all of this is just inside my mind
Our rendezvous with chopsticks
Every time I thought I had the confidence to ask
It seems I lost it
But I can take all your sorrows and drown them in soy
Now miso sure, I can be your boy

Oh, I want sush on the roof
With you
A fishy, ricey platter with vegetables in batter for two
Sush with a view
Who cares about the weather?
When everything is better
When you are with me
If you don’t like the menu
We’ll find another venue to eat
Curry for two
Who cares about the weather?
You know I’ll go wherever
‘Cause everything is better
Everything is better with
You
