1.If I hadn’t stopped in front of that ticket gate and just kept walking
2.Would I have lived a happy life, never knowing your face?3.
4.If I hadn’t climbed over that back gate and slipped out into the world
5.Would the brilliance of the stars I gazed at have turned into nothing but dirt on my shoes?6.
7.Lying on the linoleum floor, hands scraped from a handstand
8.Realizing even here was the edge of the galaxy, the dizziness hit me just before dawn9.
10.Hear me, answer me, I want you to receive this—I shined, I shined, I shined as I shouted
11.When I tumbled down beyond the chain-link fence, in that instant, the world burst into color12.
13.Launch yourself toward the farthest reaches of space, plasma tearing through the world before my eyes
14.I was utterly captivated, unaware of bruises or scars
15.Even if I’m light-years away, my body, set in motion, won’t stop
16.Now, I can faintly hear your voice in the distance
17.Shining brighter and brighter18.
19.Passing under the service entrance, particles pierce my skin
20.A shooting star streaks across the back alley night sky, while frantic mice scatter in terror21.
22.If I hadn’t let go of your hand in that crowd
23.If I’d swallowed those sudden words tightly down
24.If I hadn’t stopped in front of that ticket gate and just kept walking
25.You wouldn’t have been anywhere, and I wouldn’t be here either26.
27.That day, the ball you threw struck my forehead
28.And in the instant I fell, I clearly saw it—
29.A contrail streaking across the navy sky
30.And I realized, this is love31.
32.Launch yourself toward the farthest reaches of space, plasma tearing through the world before my eyes
33.I was utterly captivated, oblivious even to pain
34.Even if I’m light-years away, my body, set in motion, won’t stop
35.Now, I can faintly hear your voice in the distance
36.Shining brighter and brighter

1.If I’d kept walking and never stopped by that ticket gate
2.Would I have lived happily ever after, never knowing you?3.
4.If I hadn’t jumped over the back gate and escaped outside
5.The radiance from the stars above would have turned into stains on my shoes6.
7.Stretched out on the linoleum floor Hands scraped from handstands
8.It was right before dawn when dizziness hit me upon realizing this place was also on the edge of the galaxy9.
10.I heard your voice, and desperate to deliver my answer, I sparkled, sparkled, sparkled, and cried out
11.The moment I jumped over the chain link fence, stumbled, and fell, the world began to take color12.
13.Leap out into the depths of the universe, let the plazma blast through everything in your path
14.Utterly mesmerized, oblivious to the bruises and scars to follow
15.Though we’re separated by light years, there’s no stopping me now that I’m on the move
16.At this moment, your voice sounds so distant
17.Shining on18.
19.As I pass through the access door, tiny particles pierce my skin
20.From the back alley, I watched as stars shot their light across the night sky Rats scurried away frantically21.
22.If I hadn’t let go of your hand in that crowd
23.If I’d held back that spontaneous outcry and swallowed it down hard instead
24.If I’d kept walking and never stopped by that ticket gate
25.You‘d have been nowhere to be found, and I wouldn’t be here26.
27.That day, the ball you threw struck me on the forehead
28.The moment I fell, I distinctly saw
29.A vapor trail streaking across the navy-blue sky
30.I realized this was love31.
32.Leap out into the depths of the universe, let the plazma blast through everything in your path
33.Utterly mesmerized, oblivious to any pain
34.Though we’re separated by light years, there’s no stopping me now that I’m on the move
35.At this moment, your voice sounds so distant
36.Shining on
