The sweeter it is, the faster it melts, was that always how love was?
My mouth tingles from the emptiness so I’ll go ahead and buy a cotton candy

A sleeve the color of young green seedlings, a love letter thrown out to the sky
Her shoe box over there ends up as but a wastebasket for my laughter

Fading into a traditional khaki shade
The twilight where your long hair sways beckons to me
Back at the shrine where the words spoken between us decrease

I keep counting all the things I’ve lost
In a delusion trapped between two worlds

A dream within a dream, or an unfulfilled dream
An orphan and a child neglected by their daddy
The stars shine brighter the darker the night sky
Hey, did you know that?

While this dream contradicts our reality, let’s dance and dance away
Until we can remain just as who we are
Regardless of how we look, let’s clap our hands together
Until we wake from this dream someday far off

With a life like the ones you can save in a goldfish scooping game
I had always been wishing for someone to scoop me away

That’s right
Becoming the someone that someone else likes
Becoming adults in the way we were told
But still, I don’t understand
Why, oh why won’t my tears stop

Among the forgotten things, my candied apple
The moon’s reflection shines down on the water
As the fireworks burst and scatter in the mirror

I have only been searching for the things I cannot touch
In this delusion trapped between two worlds

It’s fine now, it’s fine already

The things that float to the surface, the things that shine
Will be sucked away
Into the pitch black summer sky

A dream within a dream, or an unfulfilled dream
Even if this world is no better than rubbish
I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it so much I can’t stand it

Let’s dance and dance, now let’s dance and dance away
Let yourself forget about each and every thing
Regardless of how you look, clap your hands together
Until you wake from this dream someday far off

Even in the realms of dreams, I am still searching for my dream
