[Verse 1]
That unfamiliar look on your face
Is a memory I regret
If I get used to seeing it
Love will probably end
[Pre-Chorus]
I didn't mean to say that
We're growing apart
Day by day
Waiting around won't
Change anything
[Chorus]
I'm afraid to say this but
It might work out if I could be you
'Cause I feel more lonely being with you
I thought I got you
But I guess it was a summer haze
Tell me, etc
[Verse 2]
You're so close that I could
Almost touch if I move
But I can't reach you
You seem so
Far away
[Pre-Chorus]
I didn't mean to do that
We're growing apart
Day by day
Waiting around won't
Change anything
[Chorus]
Gazing in your eyes
Holding you tightly
Whatever it is
I want it to be you
I remember
Your sad smile
When we said goodbye
[Post-Chorus]
If I touch your hand
The feelings I've been
Holding back might overflow
[Bridge]
Gazing in your eyes
Holding you tightly
Whatever it is
I want it to be you
Don't change where
Your love settles down
Tell me etc
[Chorus]
I guess if I become you
I'd still be in a mess
I'd rather smile than
Tell clumsy lies
If it takes two
To say our love is true
And keep it that way
One or two words
Won't be enough, etc

[Verse 1: imase]
In this verse, imase describes the unsettling feeling of facing unfamiliar expressions and memories that suggest the end of a relationship. The sense of familiarity shifting to something foreign indicates a transition or potential conclusion in the romantic bond, underlining the emotional weight of change.
[Pre-Chorus: imase]
The pre-chorus reflects the internal conflict of the singer, who feels lost and disconnected from their true feelings. The struggle to reconcile their emotions with the reality of their situation creates a sense of frustration and helplessness as time passes without resolution.
[Chorus: imase]
The chorus centers on the desire for a deeper connection and the fear of expressing these feelings. It highlights the loneliness of being apart and the hope that understanding will come from acknowledging the past and the emotions tied to it. The mention of a summer illusion emphasizes the fleeting nature of these feelings and the longing for clarity.
[Verse 2: imase]
This verse continues to explore the theme of emotional distance, depicting a sense of closeness that paradoxically feels distant. The contrast between physical proximity and emotional separation underscores the difficulty in bridging the gap between the two individuals.
[Pre-Chorus: imase]
Similar to the earlier pre-chorus, this section reinforces the internal struggle of managing feelings and dealing with misunderstandings. The repetition emphasizes the ongoing nature of the conflict and the persistent search for resolution.
[Chorus: imase]
In this repetition of the chorus, the focus shifts to the longing for physical and emotional closeness, emphasizing the desire for a relationship that feels right. The reflection on past moments of parting adds a layer of bittersweet nostalgia, highlighting the complexity of the singer's emotions.
[Post-Chorus: imase]
The post-chorus expresses the overwhelming nature of emotions when in contact with the loved one, suggesting that physical touch would release pent-up feelings and reveal the depth of emotional connection.
[Bridge: imase]
The bridge reaffirms the singer's deep affection and the wish for consistency in feelings despite challenges. The plea for clarity and the affirmation of enduring love underline the central theme of striving for a meaningful connection.
[Chorus: imase]
The final chorus contemplates the future of the relationship, expressing doubts and uncertainties about navigating love and communication. The singer hopes that despite imperfections, the relationship can be solidified and that words alone won't suffice to capture the depth of their feelings.
[Outro: imase]
The outro features a repetitive, soothing melody that echoes the theme of contemplation and resolution, providing a musical closure to the emotional journey explored throughout the song.
