残灯花火/Lingering Fireworks

maybe, if only we decided to never say goodbye.

At summer’s end when the nighttime creeps Along the edges of evening, The two of us gaze at each other and Into the air, they’re released, for a moment they rain down and now Inside this silence, so stifling, the light is still far away Being shaken and shaking the sky in turn They only hang in the air and then disappear as we watch on

Still looking up, then I ask you, “Hey, Can’t we untangle goodbyes  from the loneliness that’ll come after them?” Scattering fireworks go echoing across the dusk sky

The summer’s turning into light that stains the both of us, Never being able to say the word goodbye You held my hand so tightly, were you searching out for Some hazy meaning we simply hadn’t realized?

We watch the calm in the nighttime breeze Although we don’t say a thing, while The two of us gaze at each other here Under the light of the moon gently floating in the air “So… I have to go, later, see you 'round”- I just can’t manage to choke out the lines tonight,  here in this moment, now But with the radiance above us, it's plenty to be satisfied

Lala, then you started lying, “Maybe, if only we decided to never say goodbye Then even if we parted, sobbing, ‘please don’t ever forget me,’ It would mean nothing, isn’t that right?”

As summer ends and the nighttime creeps Along the edges of evening, The two of us gaze at each other, the Scattering of fireworks still echoing Our laughter

The summer’s turning into light that stains the both of us, Never being able to say the word goodbye And by the final light embellishing the dark, were we Searching for a meaning we hadn’t realized?

Been having that dream again: you're all grown up and I was still Never even able to say the word goodbye You told me raspily that you’d never forget me and vanished, But that story’s for some other time.
