Streetlights are blurring in the afterglow of rain
Tracing the contours of a future that’s not plain
Entrusting my name to the flickering neon light
Picking up the memories that unraveled in the night
The heat still lingers on the tips of my fingers
As it melts away, while the silence lingers
Only the second hand is far too precise
Ticking away the discord of our lives, like ice
I thought I’d grown closer to you
By all the detours we’ve been through
Don’t let it fade, don’t let it die
This light that’s flickering in the sky
The name of the light that bloomed in the night
Shaking alone, with no one to know its might
Voices overlapping, yet never becoming one
But even so, I’m not ready to be done
In the rift between the dream and the real
Tying the threads that we’re starting to feel
This moment that’s beginning to disappear
I’ll call it back again, until you’re near
LaLaLiLi LiLiLaLa
(LaLaLaLa LiLiLaLa)
Singing of this night, so deep
Let’s let it flow like a secret we keep
LaLaLiLi LiLiLaLa
(LaLaLaLa LiLiLaLa)
Drawn to the light
That’s beginning to vanish from sight
Looking through the glass at a world upside down
A "correctness" that no one in this town has found
I don’t care if the warmth I touched was a lie
I just want to melt into the night, you and I
The words I was about to say
Unravel in my throat and drift away
Pretending not to notice the things we missed
Another refrain, like a shadow kissed
The shadow of the words that bloomed in the dark
Picking them up, trying to find a spark
Hearts that are similar, yet different in tone
Danced without merging, forever alone
Feeling so close when the distance grows wide
Almost within reach, but nowhere to hide
Even that distance feels precious to me
Holding it close, without a name, silently
LaLaLiLi LiLiLaLa
(LaLaLaLa LiLiLaLa)
Singing of this night, so deep
Let’s let it flow like a secret we keep
LaLaLiLi LiLiLaLa
(LaLaLaLa LiLiLaLa)
Drawn to the light
That’s beginning to vanish from sight
The meaning of the light that bloomed in the night
It’s okay not to know if it’s wrong or right
Even if our voices should start to unwind
As long as this moment isn’t a lie in my mind
Tracing the continuation of the dream
Carving a rhythm that flows like a stream
While swaying, I’ll surely find my way
To sing that I’m right here, today
