1.Tonight, I changed the station where I get off
2.Searching for where that small pride
3.That bloomed in my heart had gone4.
5.I could never realize it
6.Just what was going on in my heart
7.Until that familiar lyric
8.Made the tears begin to fall9.
10.Now I try to find some excuse
11.Try to look away, but
12.Surely—
13.More than me, before me, beyond me—
14.You’re the one who shaped who I am15.
16.Why is it that I can understand?
17.These uncertain days
18.Are an essay with a one-of-a-kind flavor
19.Why is it that I can understand?
20.These days of defeat were just waiting to be colored
21.Though they were all monochrome22.
23.Tonight, I changed the road I walk
24.Following the scent
25.Of that small pride I once sowed in my heart26.
27.Now it’s midsummer
28.Storms and sea gods
29.Blue flames stand out
30.My features melt into a cool blue
31.Monochrome fades into scorched cyan and pale white32.
33.I always lose my way from lack of words34.
35.Sadness hides behind so many excuses
36.Even if I shut my eyes
37.Always—
38.More than me, before me, beyond me—
39.You’re the one who shaped who I am40.
41.A film projected on my eyelids42.
43.Why is it that I can understand?
44.Everything about it
45.Like a revolving lantern, it lingers in my chest
46.Why is it that I can understand?
47.Everything about it
48.The monochrome was filled with color49.
50.From that harbor, I traced the light
51.And made it this far
52.Listening quietly
53.To the beating of my heart
54.“We are living the path of jade”55.
56.Why is it that I can understand?
57.Everything about it
58.Like a revolving lantern, it lingers in my chest
59.Why is it that I can understand?
60.Everything about it
61.As if it’s just before the dawn
62.Why is it that I can understand?
63.Every single day
64.Is an essay with a one-of-a-kind flavor
65.Why is it that I can understand?
66.Every single scene
67.A monochrome made to be remembered
