Lyric

Another day of empty talk, just spinning my wheels

Fake smiles and acting surprised at how everyone feels

I play the part, I stay within the lines

Just to keep from falling off the rails, checking all the signs

But inside, I’m fading away

But you’re so different, standing so far apart

You’re out there on your own, with a happy heart

For what reason—why do I want to know?

Why am I so drawn to the way you glow?

Ah, it’s like I found a treasure, buried and rare

A world I’ve never seen, in the way you care

Tell me, do you know what love really is?

(Uu-)

For what reason—why do I need to see?

Why is this curiosity taking hold of me?

I can’t be myself, I’m trapped in this role

But if I lived truly, with a naked soul

Even if I fall off the rails and lose my way

Could I find someone to love me at the end of the day?

Maybe I’d finally know

(Uu-)

Ah, let’s trade some words, teach me what you find

Open up the world I’ve left behind

This cramped little space where I’ve been shoved

I’m tired of it all, I want to be loved

Do you know what love really is?

For what reason—why do I need to see?

Why is this curiosity taking hold of me?

(Uu-)

The meaningless shards inside of my heart

They’re starting to shift, they’re playing their part

Even if I fall off the rails, I’m screaming it loud

A "convenient dream" that stands out from the crowd:

"One day, I’ll be loved for the person I am!"

For what reason—(Uu-)

Why do I want to know so bad?

Do you know what love really is?

On a cosmic scale, there’s a gap between us two

Something’s different in the air when I’m with you

So I’ll find the courage, I’ll take that first stride

The shards are taking shape, with nowhere to hide

I want to burst forth, I want to bloom

Like petals dancing through the gloom!

Because I like you, I’m gonna change my fate

I’ll do my very best, it’s not too late

I’m gonna see this through!

(Uu- uu-)
