Can you try to tell me what I’ve never done?
Does it seem apparent from the way I run?
I know you’re trying to judge me now.
I’ll try to hide myself somehow.
The sky is gray and overcast.
The prime time has come at last.
And then I’m taken by surprise
By the girl with emerald eyes.
I try hard to be more relaxed
Now that the moon has finally waxed.
Oh now it’s come, the time is right.
Forgotten by the sable night.
(Will she ever know?)
I hope the stars align tonight.
(Am I s’posed to change?)
And everything will be just right.
(Has the end arrived?)
I know the flame must soon ignite.
Chorus
Am I the only one not finding my way around?
The only one who isn’t homeward bound.
Here I am with nothing to talk about
I’m traveling on the empty route.
Now or never, here I wait.
Another second, it’ll be too late.
Every instance they’re always the same.
Again, again, there’s nothing to gain.
I’ve got my back against the wall,
And if I stumble, there’s nowhere to fall.
Failure sounds like a fanfare of fate.
Stop me now before I start to hate.
(Will she ever know?)
I hope the stars align tonight.
(Am I s’posed to change?)
And everything will be just right.
(Has the end arrived?)
I know the flame must soon ignite.
