We now, see through the night into the quietness

Now we're seeing through the night into the silence

And drive into the street, moving on with no destination

Driving down the street, just wandering with nowhere to go

Sitting there to my left, I glance at you

Sitting there to my left, I steal a glance at you

The side of your face, the moon was shining its light

The side of your face, lit up by the moonlight

Just like searching around within our history

Like searching through our own history

Like crawling carefully, combining words together one by one

Like crawling carefully, piecing words together one by one

I was feeling the overflowing thoughts

I could feel my thoughts overflowing

All visions leading to memories of time with you

Every vision leading back to the time I spent with you

I know, starting from the day, feeling was set

I know, from that very day, my heart was set

Deciding to live by your side

Deciding that I wanted to live by your side

Steadily, gradually, all my world's been changing

Slowly but surely, my whole world started changing

Just to be stronger than I feel

Just to be stronger than I felt

And covering the weakness deep within

Hiding the weakness deep inside

Into my days of pretending

Through all those days of pretending

Suddenly when you arrived into my life

Then suddenly, you walked into my life

I saw the look deep in your eyes

And I saw the look deep in your eyes

It taught me all that knowledge I had never knew before

It taught me things I'd never known before

When there is something to protect, that is the only thing I need

When you have something to protect, that's all you really need

To be stronger now than I could ever be, I found

I found a strength I never knew I had

Moving in, moving in deeper into darkest of days

Moving in, moving deeper into the darkest of days

We would meet, and soon, together, spending our time

We'd meet, and soon, we'd spend our time together

Luring in new days to be

Drawing in new days to come

Full of all the comfort

Full of nothing but comfort

It was full of joy and pleasure

It was all just joy and pleasure

For you are the one that was saving my soul all along

Because you were the one saving my soul all along

Now I can see

Now I can see it

Capturing a little fragment of a light

Catching a tiny fragment of light

It shined a bit and soon revealed

It flickered for a bit and then revealed

Movement of falling drops of tears just like a shooting star

Tears falling like shooting stars

From a life of imperfection

From a life that wasn't perfect

It's pouring out and slowly falling down

They're pouring out, slowly falling down

Those beautiful drops of tears

Those beautiful tears

Even all the tenderness hiding beneath that body

Even all the tenderness hidden beneath that body

Large and powerful

So large and powerful

Even in that face resembling pain and sorrow

Even in a face that looked like pain and sorrow

I could see beauty, this, I've found

I found a beauty there

The figure isn't what it's all about

It's not about how someone looks

I finally have realized

I finally realized that

Echoing into the night

Echoing through the night

Cold unforgiving sound of gunshot in the air

The cold, heartless sound of a gunshot in the air

The fading breath evoking our goodbyes approaching soon

A fading breath, telling me our goodbye is coming

And shining for only an instant

And shining for only a split second

A merciless shooting star I see

A merciless shooting star

The wishes made upon it disappeared into the dark

The wishes made on it vanished into the dark

In the palm of my hand, I felt it burning out

In the palm of my hand, I felt it burn out

Color of the gold, a comet of sincere true kindness

Golden colored, a comet of true, sincere kindness

Touching the gorgeous mane, so beautiful

Touching that gorgeous mane, so beautiful

Deep in the shadows, I held tightly within my hands

Deep in the shadows, I held on tight
