I'm lonely every boring day
I keep wanting to search for that scenery
Voices travel, passing by each other
But sighs fell into things that I couldn't see
When you're not here, it's unbelieveable
I've just now realized what the things are that are very important to me
If I can reclaim the things that I've lost
It's as though they're overflowing, and I'm still asleep
Staring at your sad looking back, I remember noticing that your eyes were closed
Gently touching your hair, we passed a long way through the night sky
Sinking back, I noticed that the thing that really attracted me was your sad eyes
Staring at your sad looking back, I remember noticing that your eyes were closed
Gently touching your hair, we passed a long way through the night sky
The smiling face that you spoke with is still left, the scent that you brought with you is still left
