I felt like I’d been dreamin’ for ages, strangely
As I woke from sleepin’ so faintly
A whole hour before my alarm sounded
In my bed, with no one but me to be found
I comb my hair and do my skincare
But my darkened room is no different from yesterday
I open the curtains
And let in the breeze
Today, I want to go somewhere
To a town I’ve never been before
You can lose everything in the blink of an eye
But that’s why you can’t stop loving
And give sadness a little wink
If only I could collect those shimmering lights
And show them to you
(This fleeting love, why is my mind so unable to decide?)
In the blink of an eye
Everything that was can vanish
(This fleeting love, I want to see you, but I can’t, no matter how hard I try)
I make sure not to forget my sunscreen
And put on some jewelry that isn’t normally part of my routine
I think, in the end, I missed my ride on that time machine
Every day goes as planned, but something’s still missing
We’ll shrug off the pressure keeping us down
And glide atop waves of sound
To realize it with words:
The peace we long for
On the day we’ve made our dreams come true
That’s when we’ll reunite here for tea
Sparks can appear in the blink of an eye
That’s why you have to start loving
And give happiness a little wink
If only I could collect those shimmering lights
And show them to you
(This fleeting love, why is my mind so unable to decide?)
In the blink of an eye
Everything that was can vanish
(This fleeting love, I want to see you, but I can’t, no matter how hard I try)
As the sun sinks behind those walls
I make my way home, letting my public facade fall
I look back and see—there’s no one here but me
Every one of us has our own story
We can’t just
Let it end like this
The lights came on
And reach out my hand in response
It felt so warm
The embrace around my form
The bright light made me close one eye
As on and on
Continues this dream of mine
If only I could collect those shimmering lights
And show them to you
(This fleeting love, why is my mind so unable to decide?)
In the blink of an eye
Everything that was can vanish
(This fleeting love, I want to see you, but I can’t, no matter how hard I try)
Where there is love, there is light
Winking back at you
Where there is love, there is light
Winking at you
