Lyric

Two shadows

Beneath the lantern light

So close

But still

We haven't touched

The roar of the mikoshi

Hides my heartbeat

The words "I love you"

Caught inside my throat

Like steam rising

From the festival stalls

This night feels ready

To disappear

But I don't want

To let it fade

Through the waves

Of the festival crowd

I keep searching

For your face

Beside me

Karan—

Geta on the stone street

I pretend I'm fine

While my eyes

Wander everywhere

Evening wind

Tangled in your hair

In the Edo night

Only my heart

Stands naked

At the goldfish stall

The water trembles

One little laugh from you

And my whole world

Comes undone

You stand beside me

Like it's the most

Natural thing

And somehow

That's how I know

This must be love

The thicker the crowd

The closer

Our shoulders get

Every time we touch

I lose

What I meant to say

If I say it now

This moment might break

If I wait too long

Morning will come

Two shadows

Beneath the lantern light

So close

But still

We haven't touched

The roar of the mikoshi

Hides my heartbeat

The words "I love you"

Caught inside my throat

Like steam rising

From the festival stalls

This night feels ready

To disappear

But I don't want

To let it fade

Through the waves

Of the festival crowd

I keep chasing

The side of your face

Sweet little rumors

Like candy sculptures

"They say you're with someone..."

The night wind

Cuts a little deeper

Behind the noise

Of the sideshow tents

I'm standing quietly

Jealous all alone

Fireworks—

DON!

I feel them

Inside my chest

All the words

I couldn't say

Rise into the sky

I hide one little lie

Beneath my obi

Pretending to smile

While my eyes

Burn hot

Even if

I lose my way tonight

I feel like

Your voice alone

Could lead me back

Don't tell me

"Maybe next year"

I can't wait

Until next year

Two shadows

Beneath the lantern light

Tonight

I don't want

To let you go

The cries around

The mikoshi

Push me forward

So this time—

I'll say it

I love you

Before this moment

Vanishes like steam

From the festival stalls

I want to know

The warmth

Of your hand

Even when the festival ends

Even when

The lanterns go dark

Your name

Will still remain
