Seems like I run too wild now
In others’ eyes, I’m just a beast to tie down
I know they hope to tame me, though
I’ll make the struggle grandiose
Watching the hours slip away
Dare we to kiss? I think we should, and you know, I
I say that we should plan to meet one day
In the place furthest from goodbye!

And so we’ve reached the very day
Yesterday’s only the prelude to the prologue
I think it’s fine to skip to the page
Where I’ll be myself at last!
What I know, what I’ve seen
Spread like a blight over the leaves of my courage
Unprecedented is the speed that I’ve
Reached as I run to dive into you!

Within the arms of somnolence
In lukewarm cola’s soft embrace
That we were somewhere far from here
I saw in a dream

The electric train that the rising sun rides
Outside the window, it jolts along right past our class to dawn!

Ah, oh -

Where fate and futurity can’t reach
No, no matter how far they extend their arms
In such a place, their meaning denied
We’ll find that, for certain, we’re falling in love!

The clock’s long, slender hands now look askance
They gaze upon us two as the hours advance
And in this world of ours, let’s live out each day
For all this life - and not just one
Let’s live out each life to come!

“How do you do?” Time and again
Such simple words that seemed our souls to sunder
And then, in just one day
One thousand years had passed away!

How I despised the world drunk on words,
Written in terms that were just denotation
But one August morning learned
When we were standing there, face to face,
To look through a kaleidoscope
A honey-can can be one because you showed me
And the true textbook of this world
Is there in your smiling face

Even through days that felt like lies
I found a meaning all my own!
Whatever tragedies arose
I still dared to hope!
Then you were standing there outside my door
Carrying all of the pieces that form, oh, your whole!
Oh!

Where fate and futurity can’t reach
No, no matter how far they extend their arms
In such a place, their meaning denied

In that place
Dare we play
Or embrace… I…

Love is an incense like you
Echoing all your soft perfume
Even your steps bloomed into joy
With a smile in each note of your voice

So I’ll gather up every part of you
Knowing your life must fade away
To scorch you deep into my memories
Oh, just as you are
Could never be mine by right
But that it’s my duty is fine!

Where fate and futurity can’t reach
No, no matter how far they extend their arms
In such a place, their meaning denied
We’ll find that, for certain, we’re falling in love!
The clock’s long, slender hands now look askance
They gaze upon us two as the hours advance
And in that world of yours, let’s live out each day
For all this life - and not just one
Let’s live out each life to come!
Oh! Oh! Ah!
