The wind messes up our unsettled bangs yet again.
But I’m sure our lives will never be completely settled.
Dreams for the futures we wrote down as children
Seem like hastily made toys.
Yet they still remain so clear.
We watched our final photo shoot fade like a contrail.
When we think of it, we feel a stinging pain.
Yet it still remains so clear.
Getting my teeth fixed was painful, but I’m glad I did it.
We never quite know when things will change
And we won’t realize until we emerge from this tunnel of youth.
The more we struggle to be ourselves in this unfair world,
The more loneliness threatens to assail us.
You tried to push me away, saying you were fine on your own.
But I’m relieved you’re still the same person you always were. The truth is that you’re kind.
When I run my fingers over the many pictures we took,
Their scenery expands, so ordinarily special.
I think about the other side of that tunnel we can never go back through.
The wind messes up our unsettled bangs yet again.
But I’m sure our lives will never be completely settled.
The magic we lost. The light that faded.
Even if you hold them dear, don’t ever give up!
It’s better this way.
Yeah, it’s better this way.
Dreams, loves, and worries. We each brought our own to the table.
That summer’s eve twinkles eternally within our hearts.
The sounds we can’t hear anymore. The people we can’t see anymore.
Even if you hold them dear, don’t ever give up!
The wind messes up our unsettled bangs yet again.
But I’m sure we’ll never really manage to stay in one place.
So let’s run onward, through the wind!
