1.The meaning of love, the feel of it, the theory of its relativity
2.I felt just as imaginary as these things3.
4.Will we meet by the time I grow up?
5.There are tens of thousands of songs about love, I wonder if I’ll know what they mean6.
7.But love wasn’t a revolution, frustration, or some cataclysmic event
8.It was you9.
10.The way you laughed was somehow similar to loneliness
11.The way you sang was like today’s morning glow12.
13.Instead of worrying about what humans will be doing thousands of years from now
14.I’d rather see you laughing, with a face no one else knows15.
16.I don’t have it. I’m made of things I don’t have
17.You’re what gives me form18.
19.You’ll laugh when I say that, won’t you?
20.I find myself longing to see even that face21.
22.Until this day, I’ve only used my heart for myself
23.But you suddenly worked your way in, and it’s a huge inconvenience, like a massive traffic jam24.
25.But then you say the one thing I want most in the universe right now
26.You say the words27.
28.Your voice was like my mother’s humming
29.Your silence resembled the stillness of night30.
31.It doesn’t matter what color the earth will be in tens of thousands of years
32.You’ll still see me laughing, with a face no one else knows33.
34.Hundreds and thousands of times
35.You’ve seen me… heard me… and you don’t even know36.
37.“If only you were here…” “If only you were here…”
38.No matter what terrible form the words that follow take39.
40.I can take those words in my arms
41.Because the despair I face with you shines much brighter than any hope I’d see without you42.
43.The way you laughed was somehow like tenderness
44.The way you sang looked like today’s evening shower45.
46.Instead of worrying about what humans will be doing thousands of years from now
47.I’d rather see you laughing, with a face no one else knows48.
49.I don’t have it. I’m made of things I don’t have
50.You’re what gives me form51.
52.I’ll shout your name until my voice gives out
53.If there’s a chance I can reach you, I’ll call out now

1.Meaning of love, the touch, the theory of relativity
2.It all seems so unreal to me, like a pipe dream in my mind3.
4.By the time I grow up, will we ever meet?
5.By then, will I know the meaning of thousands of love songs?6.
7.But love was not a revolution or frustration or catastrophe
8.Love was you9.
10.The way you laughed somehow resembled loneliness
11.The way you sang reminded me of a glow in this morning’s sky12.
13.Rather than humans acting thousands of years from now
14.I’d love to see you laugh with a face no one knows yet15.
16.What I don’t have, what I don’t have is what you are made of
17.You make me who I am18.
19.You’re gonna laugh when I say this, right?
20.I wanna see that face even21.
22.This heart I used all for myself until the day you came along
23.You cut in and caused this trouble, a big traffic jam24.
25.But then you’d say the word
26.The very word I needed in this whole universe27.
28.Your speaking voice sounded like my mother humming
29.Your silence made me see the stillness of the night30.
31.I don’t mind what color the earth be thousands of years from now
32.I’m laughing with a face no one knows33.
34.Hundreds and thousands of times already
35.You’ve seen me, you’ve heard me, but I bet you don’t know36.
37.“If only you were here” “If only you were here”
38.No matter how horrendous the words that follow may be39.
40.I’ll embrace those words in my arms
41.Despair I see with you will shine brighter than the hope without you42.
43.The way you laughed somehow resembled tenderness
44.The way you sang was like today’s evening rain45.
46.Rather than humans acting thousands of years from now
47.I’d love to see you laugh with a face no one knows yet48.
49.What I don’t have, what I don’t have is what you are made of
50.You make me who I am51.
52.If I call your name out till my voice is gone
53.And if that`s what it takes to reach you, then I will call right now
