Lyric

Even as I take each step ahead

I feel like I’m just treading water instead

And I see you’re standing still there, too

Even as I turn each page of the book

My story doesn't change, no matter where I look

And I know you’re feeling the same way, too

No matter how fast I run, it feels so far away

Reaching out my hand, only tears begin to stray

That’s right, just like me, you were standing there

Staying still with me, in the silent air

Even when the world looked lonely and cold

I was fine as long as you were there to hold

But now that today has finally come to be

You’re disappearing, drifting away from me

Even as I take each step back in time

I feel like I’m just standing in my prime

And I see you’re feeling the same way, too

The same scenery, the same version of me

Floating on the water, flowing to the sea

And I see you’re up there, looking down on me

I miss the time that’s passing by so fast

Even you, who never changed, are changing at last

Though "forever" is something that can never be

Only I remain in those days, just me

No matter how fast I run, it feels so far away

Reaching out my hand, only tears begin to stray

That’s right, just like me, you’re moving on

Leaving me behind, until you’re finally gone

Even when the world looked lonely and cold

I was fine as long as you were there to hold

But now I’m left alone in the hollow light

Raising a toast to the stars in the night

Even if the darkness hides the path I tread

And I live my life with a heart filled with dread

The memories of the happiness we knew

The memories of those days, shining through

They will illuminate the way ahead!

No matter how fast I run, it feels so far away

Reaching out my hand, only despair comes to stay

But even so, upon my lips, I find

A gentle smile beginning to unwind

Even if the world looks lonely, it’s true

Even if I felt okay as long as I had you—

To the version of myself in the future, glowing bright

I’m running with all my soul into the light!
