Lyrics
真夏の夜 海の音だけ 消えかけの火 手で囲ってた
さよならのあとで また君に会う たぶん記憶か ただの癖みたい
ポケットの中 ヒントミント 冷たいまま 溶けきらない
言いかけたこと まだ残ってる 風に混ざって 言葉にならない
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
巻き戻せたらって 何度も思うけど
明日はきっと 少しの嘘でできてる
⸻
[Chorus]
消えないで まだ この火があるあいだ
君の名前だけ ちゃんと呼べそうで
ヒントみたいに 残る甘さだけ
吸い込んで また 見えなくなる
⸻
[Verse 2]
波の向こう もしもの未来 選ばなかった ふたりの続き
分かち合えたか それとも同じで
きっとどこかで 少しだけズレてた
煙の中で 輪郭がぼやける 君の横顔 思い出せそうで
触れられないまま 近づきすぎた距離
言わなかったこと まだここにある
⸻
[Pre-Chorus 2]
また話したいって 思ってしまうけど
今日も破れた “思い出さない”約束
⸻
[Chorus]
消えそうで まだ この火を守ってる
君の気配だけ ここに残したまま
ヒントみたいな 甘さのあとで
苦さだけ 静かに残る
⸻
[Bridge]
どこにも行けないね そんなの分かってる
進めないことも 戻れないことも
夜の中で ただそのままで
⸻
[Final Chorus]
消えないで まだ この火があるあいだ
君の名前だけ ちゃんと呼べそうで
ヒントみたいに 残る甘さだけ
吸い込んで また 消えていく
⸻
[Outro]
ヒントミント 少しだけ残ってる
タバコの火 風に揺れてる
ふたりは どこにも行けないまま
⸻
[End]

[Verse 1]
Mid-summer night
only the sound of the sea
a fading flame
I cupped it in my hands
after goodbye
I meet you again
maybe just memory
maybe just a habit
in my pocket
a hint mint
still cold
never fully melts
words I almost said
still remain
lost in the wind
never turning into sound
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could rewind
I think it every time
but tomorrow’s probably
made of small lies
⸻
[Chorus]
don’t fade yet
while this flame is still alive
I feel like
I could say your name
just the sweetness
left like a hint
I breathe it in
and it disappears again
⸻
[Verse 2]
beyond the waves
a “what-if” future
the story
we never chose
would we have shared it
or stayed the same
somewhere
slightly out of sync
in the smoke
your outline blurs
your profile
almost returns
too close
without touching
everything unsaid
still here
⸻
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I keep thinking
I want to talk again
another day
I break the promise
not to remember
⸻
[Chorus]
almost gone
still protecting this flame
only your presence
left here with me
after the sweetness
like a quiet hint
only the bitterness
remains
⸻
[Bridge]
we’re not going anywhere
I already know
can’t move forward
can’t go back
just staying
in the night
⸻
[Final Chorus]
don’t fade yet
while this flame still burns
I feel like
I could say your name
just the sweetness
left like a hint
I breathe it in
and it fades away
⸻
[Outro]
hint mint
still a little left
cigarette flame
shaking in the wind
we’re still here
going nowhere
[End]
