Starting Over
(verse 1)
(people searching for what they can't see
people learning from what they have done
that are the only things existing in nowhere
but in each creation
what am I still searching?
what am I still searching?)

la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la

(what am I still searching?
what am I still searching?)




Duty
(verse 1)
everyone is convinced that that
"thing" they're searching for
is in the future
but how many people have realized
that "it" is actually in the past
I can't even guess through loneliness
what is my responsibility?
why was I put here?
it evades me
but I know the example I must live by
and then provide to thee

(chorus)
yes, I saw it, the end of an era
with my own bright, wise, clear eyes
but I didn't want to know
that it is my turn next
in this endless cycle of worlds
I do this because it is my duty
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
if, after simplifying it
a bit more, you think that "it"
merely connects and arranges memories
then wouldn't everyone
already possess "it?"
I want you to realize that
life is challenges
laid out before all of us
I know what I must do
it's written in red
all I must do is complete it

(chorus)
yes, I saw it, the end of an era
with my own bright, wise, clear eyes
and in truth, I actually
do know that it's my turn next
because it is the duty of my life
(end chorus)

(bridge)
you'll find me, won't you
I'm betting on that
you'll find me, won't you
it's the truth that I've been looking for

la la lai

(chorus)
yes, I saw it, the end of an era
with my own bright, wise, clear eyes
but I didn't want to know
that it is my turn next
in this endless cycle of worlds
I do this because it is my duty

(end chorus)




Vogue
(chorus)
you can bloom in full glory now
because after your petals blossom
beautifully they'll just quietly fall out
then they'll vogue on the wind
(end chorus)

(verse  1)
before I even knew more
whenever I turn around
you were there smiling
ha ha hahaha

before I even knew it
I was only singing
about my love for you
ha ha hahaha

but I don't regret it at all
it's the only proof we have
that we had of those beautiful warm days
I lost sight of it all

(verse 2)
before I even knew it
I've come running all this way
to this far off place
ha ha hahaha

but I don't regret it at all
it's probably all because
you were there in those days that have gone
by and by

(chorus)
you can bloom in full glory now
because after your petals blossom
beautifully they'll just quietly fall out
then they'll vogue on the wind
(end chorus)

(chorus)
you can bloom in full glory now
because after your petals blossom
beautifully they'll just quietly fall out
then they'll vogue on the wind
hahahaha
(end chorus)





End of the World
(verse 1)
when we see
someone unhappier than us
we're a little comforted
and if we find
someone happier than us
we suddenly get flustered

but surely
that's why sometimes
realizing how wretched we truly are
we helplessly crash into reality
the illusion shatters so true

(chorus)
what should I think? I want to know, oh please
what should I say? I want to know, oh please
you are the first person
who has ever tired
to understand the broken me
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
it's not possible
to live alone without getting hurt
why must we live life this way?

if you think you're a victim
of this pain and strife
then you must be prepared
to not care if you lose everything
and put on an act till the end

(chorus)
what makes you wish for tomorrow, tell me?
and let's you get through, tell me
even the long and dark nights
I want you to tell me one day
I'm in misery
(end chorus)

(chorus)
what should I think? I want to know, oh please
what should I say? I want to know, oh please
even if I'm praised
even if I'm envied
I don't know if you understand
(end chorus)

(chorus)
what should I think? I want to know, oh please
what should I say? I want to know, oh please
because I'm sure only you
will understand
that this is who I am
(end chorus)




SCAR
(verse 1)
the first time I saw your tear
I realized I couldn't
do anything for you
but to hold your hand

when you are exhausted from crying
you whispered "I'm sorry"
and you smile genuinely at me

that was the real you

(chorus)
sayonara, I couldn't say it properly
because I thought possibly
that we might meet again
maybe or...
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
the first time you scolded me
I couldn't say a world
and I looked down at the floor

you turned your back
and left the room
and made the same scar
I left in your heart
in the same place

that was us, I'm sure

(chorus)
today they will meet
they will understand their each
they will separate surely
it repeats, so cruel
(end chorus)

(chorus)
sayonara, I couldn't say it properly
because I thought possibly
that we might meet again
maybe or...
(end chorus)

(chorus)
today they will meet
they will understand their each
they will separate surely
it repeats, so cruel
(end chorus)




Far Away
(verse 1)
it is so new
like myself, so new
yourself too, so new

once we still called each other lovers
I come alone to that beach
we used to visit then
and while searching
for those scenes I forgot
the sound of waves is somehow so tender
I feel like I'm going to cry all these tears
and so patiently, I will wait

(chorus)
it is so new
like myself, so new
yourself too, so new
we'll be reborn soon
happiness has no shape
the minute you speak of it
it falls through the cracks
of your fingers
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
the ocean spreads out all around the memory
of when you left
saying you were going to find yourself
and somewhere it meets up and flows together perfectly
surely you are seeing the same scenery

(chorus)
everyone said
our love was too far down the line
but for us it was
both the home station
and the end of line
but it was nice
uh la la lai
that's how it was, right?
(end chorus)

(verse 3)
soon summer will
be right here
all without you




SURREAL
(verse 1)
it's not like choosing
just what you like
it's irresponsible
but unable to find
what you like
but there is no way
to be responsible for that
if it's a burden, I'm ready
to gain all of the possibilities
the more I take, the more I'll gain

if it's something I don't need
like useless sympathy
if it's important
pain will accompany it
it's like feeling loneliness
even when you're together
is more painful than feeling loneliness alone

no matter how much it tries to appear
no matter what kind of pain we accept
you must never shut out your feelings
even if you're at a loss of words

no matter how much you say you don't care
when you stumble on the road
you thrust out both your hands
to protect yourself
because that's how it is

(chorus)
ah, there is no way I can keep
the pinky promise we made in those days all alone, baby
ah, there is no way I can make
the dreams we talked all night about come true all alone, baby
I can't tell anyone
I want to tell someone
that you are to me
more important than anyone else will ever be
(end chorus)

(chorus)
la la la lai
la la la lai
I'm standing here in this nowhere place
as I am, hey, stay the way you are, okay?
I want you to stay just the way you are
as long as you do, I will be fine, baby
(end chorus)

(chorus)
la la la lai
la la la lai
I'm standing here in this nowhere place
as I am, hey, stay the way you are, okay?
I want you to stay just the way you are
as long as you do, I will be fine forever, baby
(end chorus)




AUDIENCE
(chorus)
come, spread your arms open
clap with me as we walk
when it's time to run out
come here with me
and we will start off together
alright, get ready, here we go
(end chorus)

(verse 1)
I have never had any thoughts
of wanting to walk in front others
that said, it doesn't mean
I'll follow behind someone either

when one of you
shouts "yes" out into the air
I'll stand in line also
and shout "yes" together with you

(chorus)
come, spread your arms open
clap with me as we walk
when it's time to run out
come here with me
and we will start off together
you guys here are my pride
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
in the midst of these
seemingly trivial days
the trick to happiness hides
that is surely to be created and shared
amongst everyone

it's okay even if we can't
win complete victories
when that happens
come and lose to success with me

(chorus)
come, spread your arms open
clap with me as we walk
your voices are sounding out right now
I'm not afraid anymore
I'm not left alone anymore
(end chorus)

(bridge)
come, spread your arms open
clap with me as we walk

(chorus)
come, spread your arms open
clap with me as we walk
when it's time to run out
come here with me
and we will start off together
all of you are my pride
(end chorus)




SEASONS
(verse 1)
this year another season passed
memories have become faded
the border between my vague dream
reality has blurred
I imagine that time
when what we had was real between us
I fade off into a dream
another season passed

even so the dream I once told you of
did not have a single lie in it
la lai

(chorus)
today was full of fun
and tomorrow
will surely be fun as well because I know
these days here will continue forever
or so I thought
at that place in time
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
throughout the endless days
I felt as if there was something
missing from my life
turns out it was you

I blamed it on these unnatural times
and then I just gave it all up
la lai

(chorus)
today was full of woe
and even if
I cry tomorrow
someday the time will come
I can laugh once more
and say that I had
days just like that
I miss them more
(end chorus)

(chorus)
how much time must pass by me
in this finite
existence of ours
we'll live in the present
and what will we find?
is it what we want?
and I will find
I've missed you all along
(end chorus)





Teddy Bear
(chorus)
long ago you said to me
as you brushed my hair
that when I woke up
the present, it's wonderful
I found it by my pillow
thank you so much

(end chorus)

(verse 1)
as always your back is so small
and unreliable
but we were able to laugh together
over a funny story

but why is it that people
must make the same mistakes
over and over and over again
before they regret it?

I remember one night
I thought it was bruised and buried

(chorus)
long ago you said to me
as you brushed my hair
that when I woke up
the present, it's wonderful
I found it by my pillow
thank you so much

(end chorus)

(verse 2)
I fell asleep
with a heart full of hope
anticipating
the coming dawn

when I awoke on my pillow
was a large stuffed teddy bear
in the place next to me
where you should be

(chorus)
long ago you said to me
as you brushed my hair
that when I woke up
the present, it's wonderful
I found it by my pillow
thank you so much

(end chorus)





Key ~Eternal Tie Version~
(verse 1)
if I could use a lot of colors
and paint how I feel
I'd pick up the brush in this hand
and paint a picture
of these emotions oh woah woah

if I could arrange a few words
and choose my feelings right now
I'd pick up a pen with this hand
and write a letter to you

uh, but I can't do that
so I've decided to sing this song
uh, I can't do anything else
so I'll lock this up and give it to you

(chorus)
on the day
that you cried
I gathered my strength
and promised
that I would
stay by your side
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
that's why you don't
have to cry any more
though I cannot
say it too well
maybe

(chorus)
on the day
that you smile
I want to hold
our two kindness and extol
our love for one another
(end chorus)

(ending)
from here on forever





Girlish
(verse 1)
we get really lively till the morning
doing nothing
with talk about nothing

is that right?
or is it wrong?
it's not that big a deal

with faces looking like
we weren't thinking about a single thing
we felt everything

(chorus)
a lot of things have happened up till now
haven't they?
or am I just imagining things?
a lot of things are happening even now
aren't they?
or have they? I may be onto something
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
even though I found it so easily
and so casually
I pray this love stays as love for me
let's go feeling like this

(chorus)
don't search for something fun, hey
you've gotta enjoy the present
la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la
(end chorus
