Look Away

She’s everything to everyone
Wish I could have seen it come down
But I heard incorrectly

It seems everything she knows is now
Five minutes ‘till closing
that’s not a lot of time when you’re nervous

And they say, daughter look away, don’t be afraid
When you want to turn back a million times
And it might get colder, but wait ‘till it’s over
Darlin’, you’ll find your way

But she said...

I, will not look away this time
Take all these cuts, and make them shine
And all this pain I’ve held inside
So I can find my way home again
I will not look away this time
Take all these cuts, and make them shine
Don’t want to be perfect, just alright...

He’s on his way to nowhere
‘Cause he heard it was safe there
And safe is something valuable here
He’s spent half his life searching
And the other half working
Hard to find out if Jesus is real

And they said, son look away, don’t be afraid
When you want to turn back a million times
And it might get colder, but wait ‘till it’s over
Son, you will find your way

But he said...

I, will not look away this time
Take all these cuts, and make them shine
And all this pain I’ve held inside
So I can find my way home again
I will not look away this time
Take all these cuts, and make them shine
Don’t want to be perfect, just alright...

Every time, every line,
Every time you wanna say goodbye, sing..

Every time, every line,
Every time you wanna say goodbye, sing..

I, will not look away this time
Take all these cuts, and make them shine
And all this pain I’ve held inside
So I can find my way home again
I will not look away this time
Take all these cuts, and make them shine
Don’t want to be perfect, just alright...

She’s everything to everyone
Wish I could have seen it come down
But I heard incorrectly

It seems everything she knows is now
Five minutes ‘till closing
that’s not a lot of time when you’re nervous

Don’t be afraid.
Even if you don’t go around turning on the lights
someday your lonely nights will see the dawn.
The day you fall you’ll get up and see that the scenery
that felt so very far away seems almost within reach.

the song you loved is playing through out the town
it’s an incidental gift given to me by chance.

Ah, a song for setting off
So, where to? We’ll meet again. Ah
but for now, it’s “goodbye”
When I lose sight of who I am, I’ll turn to you
But even if you do somehow hear me, don’t worry about responding

I lost something important to me, and then got it back
and like that process, each time feels new again
though I said, “we can’t keep crying and laughing about it like this”
I wanted someone to share with.

Now without hesitation, I can say that I love you.
And that’s how I’ll spend my days.
No matter where I am.

Ah the last song sung in celebration of a fresh start
Now I wave goodbye.
Ah, farewell to sorrow!
when you get too tired to go on, give a quick look back
because from somewhere out of reach I’ll be there urging you onward.

Ah, A song for setting off
So, where to? We’ll meet again. Ah
but for now, it’s “goodbye”
When you sart to forget who you are, idly scan your memories
for through out my whole body, you’re there with a smile
urging me onward
but don’t worry about responding.

You've got to search for the source of your tears
And find out where the drops running down your cheeks come from

You're going out
Well, then, I'll see you off
I wish I could come with you, but you've got to go alone

Is your backpack empty?
If you stuffed it full, it would be heavy
All you need are those wet cheeks and those echoing words
You could hear them, couldn't you?

"I've come, I've come
I've come to see you
From the inside of your heart to the outside world
I've come because I want you to know me"

You've got to find the tear tracks that disappeared
If you trace back the way he came, you should be able to find them

You've got to face whatever lonely sky there may be
If you know it's the sky he saw, too, you won't feel alone

The distance is because you kept running away
Don't complain, it's your own fault, after all
Your destination is a place you know well
Don't you know that?
You must be joking

"I've come, I've come
I've come before you disappear
From the source of your tears to a distant world
I've come because I want you to know me"

You've arrived, look, do you remember it?
There are more wounds than before
This is the place where your tears were born and raised

New drops have fallen, wetting wounds that won't heal
Everything is for this, for this moment
It's been such a long journey

"I've come, I've come
I've come before you disappear
From the unerasable inside of your heart to a distant world
I want you to look"

"I've come, I've come
I've come to see you
From the source of your tears to a parched world
I've come because I want you to know me
And because I want you to know you"

Don't laugh, I'll always be waiting
Don't forget you have somewhere to come back to

Present

Excuse me, but just some time ago in this vicinity
I was bothered by the sound of falling tears that could be heard
So I rushed over to it. But whose tears could it be?
Speaking of which, your eyes are extremely red

Well, that's right
That's it, I'll give you several stories as a present
Read them well, alright?
Well then, until later

There are nights when you feel like there's no one in this world
There are mornings when you are soaked in the feeling of not existing
Closing your eyes would be easier, it's alright to just dream
If you close your mouth, you'll end up without listening to any shocking lies

Thus, you built a sturdy door
A room surrounded by the world's sturdiest wall
Even though your ears that longed for solitude were waiting for
the sound of the world's gentlest knock

Well, that's right
Even now, you definitely still tremble while crying as you try to laugh
It's proper for you to shout for help with a silent voice

It's fine as it is, living without courage and vigour
is not something that will trouble you. There are more things will trouble you
Even at a place that's only for walls, you specially built a door
Even though what you hate is everything you like

Well, that's right
It's fine, you only have yet to give yourself a good look
Even everyone's like that, you aren't alone
Even though there are terribly embarrassing things and things that you can't escape from
Even I'm like that, even I'm like that
There are really troublesome things and things that you can't rely on anyone for.
Even I'm like that
Oh well

At least you have friends,
The residents in the stories of the present
Now, what will you do from now on? I have to leave already
Look, there's the sound of tears dropping again somewhere

Sorawasure

The unexpected ending rushed past me in flashing lights
Leaving behind the tangled red thread of fate
The scattered memories were like a trap trying to lure me in
But from the beckoning scars I knew I couldn't return

I balanced happiness against unhappiness
The answer leaned in the direction of the ring I'd taken off

"May I cry now?"
Ending with a rethorical question
our love was like sand slipping through our fingers

One Sunday in February, the burns on my chest is still painful
Spring is near, I lift my face to the sky and close my eyes
I walk alone down this street i know so well
And the gentleness of the wind brings tears to my eyes

I couldn't see feelings, the words were far sadder
I understood that it was impossible for tears to dry up

As I wish for the blossoming season to come I softly listen
Until the day when spring comes and my scars turn to memories
The landscape that held you and our two shadows has disappeared
The brightly coloured streets tells us that winter has come to an end
One Sunday in February, I say goodbye to you
I looked into the clear blue sky and smiled a little
