Overlapping Shadows

Tera Kira

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

LaLaLiLi LiLiLaLa

(LaLaLaLa LiLiLaLa...)
