Half Down by Nishikido Ryo
Posting for reference. I love the man. I love the words.
Half Down.
No matter how many times i try to fix it
No matter how many times I try to dress it up as something else
The me who cannot change is here and you are also there
the dream that we cannot stop holding on
to the doubt that we cannot stop hiding
that time that was blamed on somebody
the times we misunderstood each other & chose our difficult paths.
what am I like through your eyes?
the days that only you and i spent together are still shining now
the thoughts that were shut in are sometimes spinning in my heart
the small lies and the egos and the wounds if we could forgive them all
I wonder if you would still be smiling by my side now
no matter how much we regret we cannot rewind yesterday
and in that same way the world is waiting for tomorrow
and if only in the calendar that seems to repeat its self over and over
like as if the faint hope we seem to be able to find are there
if we were able to meet again, with a confused expression
would we be able to just laugh at it
and say, "after all this time"
I'm always lining up dreams on the shelves only.
& You're always dreaming of great circumstances
but we probably will approve of the past, the present and the future.
that is what I believe in and pray for.
If I put this into words I feel that it will all become misty later
But now I'm singing about it . it's kind of ironic, isn't it
Those time when there was nothing and times when there was everything has become like the gentle wind.
the days that only you and i spent together are still shining now
the thoughts that were shut in are sometimes spinning in my heart
the small hopes and courage and pain if we both pay tribute to them
I wonder if you would still be smiling by my side now.
As always I am lining up dreams on my shelves
& as always you are dreaming of great circumstances
someday if I think dearly of the past ,the present and the future
I can go anywhere just being myself.
