藍二乗 - ヨルシカ

★ verse 1 ★
The scenery doesn’t change; on a faded afternoon
I’m lying in the deep indigo beneath the overpass
I hear a single clap for my blank-page life
I was singing about my own emptiness today, as usual

★ verse 2 ★
So things wouldn’t change
I wrote a story starring you in my notebook
My gas and water being cut off, society, and the news are all someone else’s problem
Look, my life is like ink

★ refrain ★
The dream i had when i was young gets closer to its expiration date as i get oldеr

★ chorus ★
Though i just, i just look up at the clouds
As usual, they flow through my field of vision
In thе distant night sky i looked up at, flowers swam
So many that it could be mistaken for spring
As if i’d just lost sight of you

★ verse 3 ★
I looked down so i wouldn’t trip
Life is made of nothing but compromises
I don’t believe in hearts or fate or love songs or life
After all, if you can’t sell something it has no value

★ refrain ★
I intentionally discarded the present i dreamed of, and now i’m lying here waiting for its expiration date

★ chorus ★
Behind my eyelids, i just, i just saw
An imagined, distant vision of you
In my notebook, flowers swim in the corner of a faded night
One more is in my eye

★ bridge ★
Life is just one compromise after another
I learned that pretty fast
Elma, it’s you
You alone are my music

There are only eighty more characters in this song
Because maybe the only value of a life is in they way it ends

★ chorus ★
I just, i just picture you
As even the indigo filling my vision is blurred
In the distant sky i looked up at, flowers swam
Deep indigo covers my eyes

★ outro ★
It’s just, it’s just…
In the distant sky i looked up at, you are cooling off
As if you were just swimming in the night
