My eyesight has gotten worse Because I was always searching By the bright fireflies’ gathering In the dazzling light I was searching for you And your shadow Until it sinks, and melts, in the end Is still a work of art
I know this is just an illusion A dream I won’t remember And yet here it is Inside my pitch black heart There you are And your warmth You were a story, that needed nothing else To live
My eyesight has gotten worse As I tried not to lose The precious life next to me But I ended up looking away Since you, And your shadow Would die, if I touched* you You’re a work of art I just want you to remain there in the distance As a masterpiece
On our first day off in a long while Let’s watch our favorite movies together Scooching close on that old, familiar sofa Let’s put on our favorite songs
Swaying to the beat playing We’ll go out together for a trip Disappearing as though we don’t belong anywhere We play hide-and-seek with the stars
If only this kind of life Could continue on Is what I’d like to think, forever Until my life ends
We fight over some trivial things And the mood turns a little sour But in the end we quickly make up And go back to our silly conversations
If only this kind of life Could continue on Is what I’d like to think, forever Until my life ends
I’m in love with you To the point that I can’t help it And the more I think about it The more heart aches
I’m in love with you To the point that I can’t help it And the more I think about it The more my heart aches
People change, intentions change, we knew from the start Words wither away, foggy assumptions constantly overturned You won’t part with your blanket, you won’t agree Like an innocent virgin, you closed your legs, not kicking your feet
At the park at night, its ivory tiles, scribbles and damp fireworks On top of the crayon-shaped missile, we caressed each other
Come on, you can fly I’m thinking of fun things to do, as a child would I know something even better, but you keep shaking your head I’m not scared, because I know nothing of pain
You change, your intentions too, but you can’t go back to the start Your words cut off, assumptions halted, look only at the facts With a newly bought blanket, you’re like an innocent virgin You agreed, even while kicking your feet, you kept your legs closed
By the lamp in the park at night, a candy box and children’s shoes On top of the crayon-shaped missile, we were flying*
Come on, you can fly I’m thinking of fun things to do, as a child would I know something even more uncomfortable, you just nod your head I’m afraid, because I remember the pain
Let’s go to the park at night and talk, remembering all the fun we had With that crayon-shaped missile
See, look, you can fly I’m thinking of fun things to do, as a child would You were the very first of us to grow up Shaking your head all the while, crying, and crying.
Come on, you can fly We’re thinking of something fun to do, as children would Tell me what feels even better, because you won’t tell anyone else Come on, you can fly We’re thinking of fun things to do
Shoes thrown off from the swing, a card dropped in a puddle A stolen sticker, even though I know who did it Who cares, it’s fine
Leisurely passing time, I tread the globe Picking through groves of flowers encircling me, I went on, hello!
I was happy just being alive, forgetting the past, not seeing future And then we became friends, how easy it was
Today too, in the morning I’ll go to work “Yo Ho Hi Ho!”, I shout The complicated tangle of steel wires “Yo Ho Hi Ho!”, I carry them on my back If I could go back to that time, my relationshp with you, you, you I’m a baby, I’m a baby I probably wouldn’t change anything
I throw my shoes off constantly, I’m unaware of the fear of death I continue to climb, the new scenery around that I see from up top Takes my breath away
I hear the sound of a soda can being popped open To meet you, I swerve off my path, around the bend, hello!
My heart leaps with just your laugh, Oh what should I do tomorrow? And before I knew it, I could no longer talk to you, how sad
And today too, from morning on, you and I fought “Yo Ho Hi Ho!”, we said to each other The complicated tangle of diamond-made clasps “Yo Ho Hi Ho!”, I broke them I have to apologize, face-to-face, to you, you, you I’m a baby, I’m a baby Maybe it’s time to change that
Let’s cut loose, survive until dawn breaks There are things worse than death, let’s hide them like a pistol
And drink till we’re sick, of love itself, however many glasses of it Don’t you hear it? Love itself, as it goes down your throat Let’s drink till we’re sick, of love itself The numbers on the label mean nohing, purple rimmed with gold 1988
Even out of money, there’s still something to squeeze out of you Sell it, sell your life away, put a pistol to your head
And drink till you’re sick, of love itself, however many glasses of it Can’t you hear it? Love itself, as it slides down your throat Let’s drink till we’re sick, of love itself My words don’t mean anything, purple rimmed with gold 1988
Sooner or later, everything changes I’m not happy at all For better or for worse, this country is falling into a depression Those numbers mean nothing, it won’t affect us, we don’t need them 1988
“But there’s love!”, someone will say, over and over Oh, thank you so much, bring me some of that love, more and more! Let’s drink until we die, of love itself I throw the bottle against the wall, it breaks in pieces, and I kiss you
It feels like a hangover, as I drag along my pain A demon arrives, taking my life out like a gun
The moment we became free, and the moment we were pushed to rock bottom We always kept our eyes wide open and on each other It wasn’t easy to make it seem like I was having fun My heart was caught up in the same thing
I loved you, your kindness, and I loved who I was with you But then everything changed, so much so that even I noticed I don’t understand, as much as I love you, I just don’t get you I don’t understand myself, as much as we love each other, we’re getting tired, yet still we…
You waved a hammer and broke down the walls, in that moment From the other side, the light filtering through the trees bathed us But right now, you’re crushing all my feelings with your weapon Hurting yourself too, and running off into the darkness
It wasn’t me who changed, and it wasn’t you who changed either But everything is tumbling over, and even you were enjoying it We can’t fix this, as much as you love me, you can’t fix it either I don’t understand it myself, as much we love each other, it’s getting tiring
I don’t understand, as much as I love you, I just don’t get you And I don’t understand myself, as much as I love you, I don’t understand who I am with you And who you are, with me
A door left ajar, with the sound of its slamming Everything collapsed, the exit was blocked, I waited to be drowned in your tears We scrambled for the light, our dancing shadows weaving, fastening together I felt your coldness, I felt your warmth We can still make it in time
I check your temperature. Abandoning the distance between us, we join hands, and explore Where? Where? What shape is it? My skin on your skin, chafing against each other, the sound of your heart
Through the window left ajar, is the sound of snow falling and piling up Everything is healed, returning to before, and I spent my time thinking of just that In the mirror reflecting us, we wipe the heavily painted question, still staring at each other I saw your face from the side, I saw the curve of your lips And still I love you
I’m testing your limits. In the tremoring pain, we clasp hands and touch Where? Where? What shape is it? My skin on your skin, chafing against each other, the sound of your heart
Your baggage, my baggage, we shove our burdens into a cardboard box What took place here, has finally become special
From here on, I have to walk alone I live holding hands with the ending I’ve accepted
I’m walking to go meet your heart But it’s not going so well, like badly taken steps Something’s wrong with me, even I think so I’m still waiting to run away at dawn
I should’ve known, that there’s things we can’t do Even though I flew so well, now I’m seated Before we’re unable to even breathe, come on, stand up We can get it back, our own pace.
A ticket meant to go meet your heart Was destroyed right in front of my eyes, like a badly written plot But we have to do something, even you’d say so At the risk of our lives we’ll jump down, into the snowing city
I should’ve understood, that there are things we can’t say But even if I pack them away so neatly, the box is now damp Before we’re unable to even breathe, let’s chat about something We can get it back, our own pace…
