The cityscape is at a standstill,
Unchanging even today.
So why does it look different
Than it once did long ago?
My shirt is dirty,
Stained with the lies I told to fool myself…
What exactly have I been trying to protect all this time?
I Wanna Be…
You see, even if I lose some of them,
No matter how old I get, I still have my dreams!
The only thing I have to do
Is be proud of that.
I Wanna Be…
I once spit it out and tossed it aside,
But I met you and remembered:
Things are good like this.
I’m seeking a tomorrow where those words ring true.
Oh
In this city where not a single thing ever changes.
The shimmering heat over the roads
Remains like a memory.
Unable to grasp its flickering form,
We disturb the paths before us.
But ever since that day,
When we stood beneath the street lights drinking vending machine coffee,
And idly talked about what’s to come…
I Wanna Be…
Selfish, doing things as we pleased.
Hurting each other and sharing experiences.
The undefined feeling trembling in my chest
Is everything to me right now.
I Wanna Be…
I’ve seen the shadows of those who left,
But after meeting you, I feel sad to see them go.
Even more so,
The better I get at living life.
I Wanna Be…
You see, even if I lose some of them,
No matter how old I get, I still have my dreams!
The only thing I have to do
Is be proud of that.
I Wanna Be…
I once spit it out and tossed it aside,
But I met you and remembered:
Things are good like this.
I’m seeking a tomorrow where those words ring true.
Oh
In this city where not a single thing ever changes,
We change…
