When we look back at it all,As I know we willYou and me, wide-eyedI wonder will we really rememberHow it feels to be this aliveAnd I know we have to go I realiseWe only get to stay so longWe always have to go back to real livesWhere we belongWhere we belongWhere we belong When we think back to all thisAnd I'm sure we willMe and you, here and nowWill we forget the wayIt really isWhy it feels like thisAnd how?And we always have to go I realiseWe always have to say goodbyeAlways have to go back to real livesBut real lives are the reason whyWe want to live another lifeWe want to feel another timeAnother timeAnother timeTo feel another time When we look back at it allAs I know we willYou and me, wide-eyedI wonder will we really rememberHow it feels to be this alive And I know we have to goI realiseWe always have to turn awayAlways have to go back to real livesBut real lives are why we stayFor another dream, another dayFor another world, another wayFor another way One last time before it's overOne last time before the endOne last time before it's time to go again

I've been watching me fall for it seems like yearsWatching me grow smallI watch me disappearSlipping out my ordinary worldOut my ordinary eyesYeah slipping out the ordinary me Into someone else's lifeInto someone else's life... There's a thin white cold new moon And the snow's coming downAnd the neon bright Tokyo lightsFlicker through the crowdI've been drifting around for hours And I'm lost and I'm tiredWhen a whisper in my ear Insatiable breezeWhy don't you follow me inside? Yeah the room is smallThe room is brightHer hair is blackThe bed is whiteAnd the night is always youngIs always youngAlways youngThe night is always young... Yeah I've been seen stripped to the bone In the mirror on the wallSeeing her swallow him wholeLike it's not me at allShe holds out her hands And I follow her down to my kneesAnd the sucking inside Insatiable smilesYou will forget yourself in me... Yeah the room is smallThe room is brightHer eyes are blackThe bed is whiteAnd the night is always youngAnd the night goes on and onAnd the night is always youngAnd the night is never over and over and over and over and over...And then it's goneAnd then it's goneYeah then it's gone Yeah it's a cruel mean cold new day And outside the snow is still coming downAnd in the blood red Tokyo bed I watch me coming roundShe pulled him down for hoursDeeper than I've ever beenAnd as I fall in the mirror on the wallI'm watching me screamI'm watching me screamI'm watching me scream I'm watching me scream Yeah I've been watching me go for it must be yearsWatching me get slowI watch me disappearAnd one day, yeah I knowI won't come back at all...And always over and overIn his ordinary eyesI'm watching me fallI'm watching me fallI'm watching me fall I'm watching me fall

Remember the first time I told you I love you -It was raining hard and you never heard -You sneezed! and I had to say it over'I said I love you,' I said... you didn't say a wordJust held your hands to my shining eyesAnd I watched as the rain ran through your fingersHeld your hands to my shining eyes and smiled as you kissed me... 'If you die,' you said, 'so do I,' you said...And it starts the day you make the sign'Tell me I'm forever yours and you're forever mineForever mine...' 'If you die,' you said, 'So do I,' you said...And it starts the day you cross that line'Swear I will always be yours and you'll always be mineYou'll always be mineAlways be mine...' Remember the last time I told you I love you -It was warm and safe in our perfect world -You yawned and I had to say it over'I said I love you,' I said... you didn't say a wordJust held your hands to your shining eyesAnd I watched as the tears ran through your fingersHeld your hands to your shining eyes and cried... 'If you die,' you said, 'So do I,' you said...But it ends the day you see how it isThere is no always forever... just this...Just this... 'If you die,' you said, 'So do I,' you saidBut it ends the day you understandThere is no if... just and There is no if... just and There is no if...

Side by side in silenceThey pass away the daySo comfortable, so habitual...And so nothing left to say Nothing left to sayNothing left to say Side by side in silenceHis thoughts echo roundHe looks up at the sky...She looks down at the ground Stares down at the groundStares down at the ground Side by side in silenceThey wish for different worldsShe dreams him as a boy...And he loves her as a girl Loves her as a girl... And side by side in silenceWithout a single word... It's the loudest soundIt's the loudest sound... It's the loudest sound I ever heard
