Original Lyrics: German Iris Lyrics (Romanized)
1.In the crowd on the street corner, the things I lost
2.Were just never meant to stay—that’s what I tell myself3.
4.Even though we both thought we liked each other
5.Why couldn’t we say it before we graduated?6.
7.Youth is (so fleeting) and short
8.And something (so important) slips right by
9.If only I’d had (the courage) to stop (in that place)
10.Ah, maybe we’d still be together now11.

12.German iris—do you remember?
13.That delicate purple flower blooming by the school road
14.We didn’t know its name, so we called it “violet”
15.It felt like our little secret, and it hurts every time I remember16.
17.How is it that people end up becoming adults before they even notice?
18.Is knowing everything really such a good thing?19.
20.First love is (so fragile) and rarely blooms
21.You only realize it (years later)
22.If I turn around (on that path) you’re smiling (back at me)
23.Ah, I want to call out to you, but…24.
25.German iris—there are so many colors
26.But you and I only knew the purple ones—we lived in such a small world27.
28.If only we had seen more, we wouldn’t have misunderstood that rainbow flower29.
30.German iris—do you remember?
31.That delicate purple flower blooming by the school road
32.We didn’t know its name, so we called it “violet”
33.It felt like our little secret, and it hurts every time I remember
34.I looked it up, in a plant encyclopedia—the purple flower from that day
