This looks familiar 00:04

Vaguely familiar 00:11

Almost unreal, yet 00:16

It's too soon to feel yet 00:20

Close to my soul 00:24

And yet so far away 00:27

I'm going to go back there someday 00:32

Sun rises, night falls 00:41

Sometimes the sky calls 00:45

Is that a song there 00:49

And do I belong there 00:53

I've never been there 00:57

But I know the way 01:01

I'm going to go back there someday 01:05

Come and go with me 01:14

It's more fun to share 01:17

We'll both be completely 01:21

At home in midair 01:25

We're flying, not walking 01:29

On featherless wings 01:33

We can hold onto love like invisible strings 01:36

There's not a word yet 01:45

For old friends who've just met 01:53

Part heaven, part space 01:58

Or have I found my place? 02:02

You can just visit 02:07

But I plan to stay 02:11

I'm going to go back there someday 02:14

I'm going to go back there someday 02:25

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

This looks familiar

Vaguely familiar

Almost unreal, yet

It's too soon to feel yet

Close to my soul

And yet so far away

I'm going to go back there someday

Sun rises, night falls

Sometimes the sky calls

Is that a song there

And do I belong there

I've never been there

But I know the way

I'm going to go back there someday

Come and go with me

It's more fun to share

We'll both be completely

At home in midair

We're flying, not walking

On featherless wings

We can hold onto love like invisible strings

There's not a word yet

For old friends who've just met

Part heaven, part space

Or have I found my place?

You can just visit

But I plan to stay

I'm going to go back there someday
