Stand by
by: SenitOh, the sea:
Waves of eternity, waves of serenity
As I stare through them,
All around me just dies.
Tonight,
can we pretend there's no more time?
Let's lock our doors and leave
This endless world outside
But if you don't mind, I will be here,
Holding back those years that pass us by!
(Stand By)
And in a natural high you'll hold my hand,
We'll take a breath
So tonight, if you don't mind, I will stand by!
Oh, this life,
Something so beautiful but hard at the same time
Taught me it could be gone in a blink of an eye
Tonight,
can we pretend there's no more time.
Let's lock our doors and leave
This endless world outside
If you don't mind, I will be here,
Holding back those years that pass us by!
And in a natural high you'll hold my hand,
We'll take a breath
So tonight, if you don't mind, I will stand by!
I will be here,
Holding back...
Holding back those years that pass us by!
And in a natural high you'll hold my hand,
We'll take a breath
