Lyric

Not a Joke

Tera Kira

A classroom just for two, the breeze is swaying through the blind

Distant echoes of laughter are echoing behind

You hand me a freshly washed jersey, soft and clean

The faint scent of your presence makes my heart start to leap, unseen

Before I could even speak, a smile slipped out and showed

My voice was trembling slightly as "Thank you" overflowed

Looking back at me right from the other side of the door

The word "I love you" ringing out in the summer sky once more!

The crying face of you as you ran away so fast

A stranger side of you I found, shaking my heart at last

I always loved the way you joked around and played the clown

Wondering if real feelings ever could get through the town

Putting all my feelings into the jersey that you lent

"I love you" carried on the wind, a message that I sent

When you gave me a confused "Huh?", I felt you laughed instead

So I was the one who ran away, tears ahead

Only the blue sky knows how I’m feeling in my chest

The scent of you still lingers where the classroom breeze caressed

The courage of that day wasn't a mistake, it's true

I hope one day you'll realize, looking back at you!

That "I love you" from that day was never meant as a joke

Even now, thinking of it, my heart is waking folk

The wind inside the classroom, the feelings left behind

I feel like you are somewhere still echoing in my mind

Until yesterday, we were just friends, nothing more

Laughing and joking around, like we'd done before

But that "I love you" is staying deep inside my head

Now everything about you matters to me instead!

If I could say it now, it wasn't a joke at all

You were serious, weren't you, standing by that wall?

Underneath the blue sky, those words you had to say

Are still echoing inside of my heart today

Next time, it's my turn to tell you how I feel

Not to a friend, but to someone special and real
