Between lingering clouds, I just looked up at the sun
Our careless selves, voices overflowing
Made it so that the important things couldn’t be conveyed
I held onto this color without shape
Days of hope and doubt, tasting regret
Reaching out to a world I don't know
Hiding the brave sky in my pocket
All the pain that wrapped kindness too
I want to remember everything
Just wishing, wishing, even if I’m reborn
Singing of an uncertain future, wanting to touch it
Tracing, tracing down my cheeks
The taste of that tears, a promise made once
Turning to ash, fading into haze
Crossing far away somewhere beyond this night, dyed blue
Throughout the night, my feelings weaving dreams
Lost in shadows, the moon cast its glow
Unable to sleep, unable to let go of my hands
Pushing away the you I admired
All of that gaze I had back then
Now dims and blurs away
It hurts, it’s unbearable, the sky so blue
Deepening in color, cold as it swells
Tracing, tracing our shoulders trembling together
Holding onto a faint warmth
Flowers dancing in the wind toward an unseen world
Crossing far away somewhere beyond this night, dyed blue
The mistakes I've made, even the regrets afterward
Because they’re irreplaceable
Just wishing, wishing, even if I’m reborn
Singing of an uncertain future, wanting to touch it
Tracing, tracing down those tears on my cheeks, a promise once made
Turning to ash, fading into haze
Crossing far away somewhere beyond this night, dyed blue
