the way home that you haven't come back by, as usual
almost out of the corner of my eye, you make that sniffy noise with your nose
the siren breaks apart the evening sky
under the water tower, "that thing" was a bat
we tried not to look at the clock,
but since that way, you notice how fast time's going,
i thought we could talk to drown it out.
but in the end, i just shut up
just watching your shadow sway around you in the way your shadow would do made me want to cry.
it doesn't matter how many of the words i've found i string together, i get further away
the thoughts i most want to tell you are screaming in my heart right now
you jump over all of that, laughing and smiling like a child
you're always singing a barefoot melody so we can forgive the present
to keep smiling like this is unfair, isn't it?
someday one of us will end up going far away,
and i wonder if we won't meet again? that makes what we are now seem like one big lie.
in that case, when we do meet again, and if it's like it is "now",
i wonder if i'll be able to shut myself up.
behaving like an adult, or acting all edgy,
pretending we're unbothered when someone hurts us, or just being a bit weird
we believed in ourselves enough
to love all of these things together
those moments when we just happened to sneeze at the same time
were the funniest thing ever; they made me want to cry
today will become yesterday tomorrow, and someone will forget it,
but i will always remember that you're here with me right now.
wipe away those invisible tears, and laugh like you're apologising to me:
the coldness of your fingers, that felt like they'd vanish if i touched them
remains on me like a burn
it doesn't matter how many of the words i've found i string together, i get further away
the thoughts i most want to tell you are screaming in my heart right now
on the count of 3, let's jump over everything, and smile and laugh the way we are
we're always singing that barefoot melody, and we're both waving;
we're smiling, saying "see ya later!"
come rain or shine, or in a world without a sky at all,
i'll see you tomorrow.
may tomorrow come again.
even if we're aren't together, even if i'm all alone.
may you be out there somewhere, tomorrow.
