Lyrics & Translation
Fill the gaps in the night
Because I get caught up in sentimentality
I closed Twitter
And the camera I left on the shelf
I want to keep some distance now
Today I lost everything
And I spent the whole day crying
I still don’t really understand
My true feelings
But I think I erased all the photos of me in your album
When the shutter falls
Capturing you, falling in love
All those moments stored quietly
Deep inside my heart’s album
So, yeah, I remember everything—your gestures, your scent
The moments I pressed the shutter on
I should’ve just touched you
I wish I’d used all my time just with you
Our usual date spots and sweet words
Only the pretty things left on Instagram
The camera on the shelf
Can’t capture what’s truly there
Between you and me
There’s something there I didn’t notice
And even now, I don’t really understand
But I guess I don’t need all of me in your album
When the shutter falls
I fall in love, capturing you
Worried I might ruin it all, I stayed safe
And just went along with it
I was probably a blurry version of myself
The moments I pressed the shutter
I should’ve just touched you
Used all my time just with you
Even memories as beautiful as gems
They’re nothing without me or you
When the shutter falls
I fall in love, capturing you
Worried I might ruin it, I stayed safe
And just went along with it
I was probably a blurry version of myself
No matter how beautiful or precious the memories
If I’m not there, and you’re not there
They mean nothing
When the shutter falls
I fall in love, capturing you
Worried I might ruin it, I stayed safe
And just went along with it
I was probably a blurry version of myself
The moments I pressed the shutter
I should’ve just touched you
Used all my time just with you
When the shutter falls
I fall in love, capturing you
All those moments stored quietly
Deep inside my heart’s album
So, yeah, I remember everything—your gestures, your scent
The moments I pressed the shutter on
I should’ve just touched you
Used all my time just with you
All these thoughts fade away, but
