You were looking my way
I was looking away
Two seconds too late
At the end of the day
You were waiting for me
I was waiting for you
Funny how the right words
Never came through
Same street
Same night
Different side of the light
We were close
We were near
But somehow
We disappeared
One step forward
You step back
I turn around
You change your track
Almost there
Almost right
But we keep missing
Every time
Passing by
You and I
Always one beat
Out of time
Passing by
Side by side
Close enough
But never quite
I say hello
You say goodbye
You look at me
I close my eyes
Maybe love
Was never wrong
We were just
A moment late
All along
Oh-oh
Passing by
Oh-oh
Out of time
Oh-oh
You were here
Then you disappeared
I saw your name
On my phone
But I waited
Till you were gone
You called me once
I missed the sound
When I called you back
You weren't around
Same words
Different meaning
Same heart
Different feeling
Maybe we were
Trying too hard
To find the ending
At the start
One step forward
You step back
I turn around
You change your track
Almost there
Almost right
But we keep missing
Every time
Passing by
You and I
Always one beat
Out of time
Passing by
Side by side
Close enough
But never quite
I say hello
You say goodbye
You look at me
I close my eyes
Maybe love
Was never wrong
We were just
A moment late
All along
What if you had stayed?
What if I had called?
What if all the little chances
Hadn't slipped away at all?
Maybe in another night
Maybe on another street
We would find each other
At the perfect beat
But here we are
Two shadows
Crossing in the light
Passing by
You and I
Still a little
Out of time
Passing by
Side by side
For a second
You were mine
No one wrong
No one right
Just two hearts
Missing the light
Maybe love
Was never gone
We were just
A moment late
All along
You were there
I was here
So close
But never near

Fragments Factory 6th Full Album
Worth More
This is the sixth full-length album from Fragments Factory.
*Worth More* is a collection of ten tracks that transform everyday occurrences, memories, and chance moments into music, using the concept of "value" as a starting point.
For this album, we paid closer attention to the resonance of chords than ever before.
A chord progression that seems headed for a predictable destination shifts ever so slightly in a different direction.
A subtle sense of unease lingers amidst the pleasant harmonies.
It feels resolved, yet somehow continues on.
We have actively incorporated this kind of "unpredictable fluctuation" into the music.
Starting with "All the Little Things,"
moving to "What Remains," "Prime Number," and "Worth More."
Small things, things that remain, unique things.
Then, passing through "Crossing Tama River" and "Matchbook Sparks," we arrive at the finale, "Passing By."
While each song stands as an independent fragment, arranging them together reveals a new landscape.
We have held fast to the sentiment Fragments Factory has always cherished:
**"The world is made of countless small fragments."**
However, this time, rather than simply "gathering" those fragments, we focused on the **unexpected sounds that emerge when different elements are combined.**
The title *Worth More*
poses a question about things that cannot be measured by numbers or prices.
A casual moment.
A small emotion.
A chance encounter.
A sound that lingers in memory.
And time slipping by before we realize it.
Even things that seem trivial at first glance
hold a value known only to oneself.
That value might be greater than we imagine.
We have poured these thoughts into these ten fragments.
Fragments Factory - Worth More
10 pieces of sound, finding a value of their own.
