------------------

if they tell me to look straight ahead

maybe it’s okay to glance behind

if they tell me not to stop at all

maybe it’s okay to walk more slowly

if I run into someone I can’t handle

i’ll just go to bed a little earlier tonight

no matter how hard I strain my eyes

some things probably won’t come into view

if I closed my eyes right now

i might feel like I’m flying for a while

passing through the clouds, feeling the wind

when the horizon starts to curve

i might see a quiet morning light

if I don’t know what to do anymore

i can leave it to tomorrow’s me

if the worry starts to settle in

i can ask who I used to be

if I meet someone kind along the way

i'll let them go without a word

no matter how closely I listen

those magic words still haven’t reached me

if I opened the door right now

maybe there’s a spring field waiting there

flowers blooming, birds in flight

when the sea comes into view ahead

a wide rainbow might appear

outside it’s cold, unbearably cold

my fingers, my ears, all numb with pain

even so, somehow

this breath is still so warm

if I closed my eyes right now

could I drift somewhere far away

passing through the night, against the wind

when the horizon starts to bend

a quiet night sky might come into view

here it’s cold, painfully cold

my toes, the inside of my nose

all sensation fading out

even so, somehow

my breath turns white
