caught every time in a tight schedule all weekday
making a mad dash again in the morning
"a foot race?" "sounds like fun!"
turns out it's a matter of life and death
starting out with a slow life style
wishing upon a shootin' star
but it's cruel, one hundred divided by three
full of things indivisible
so the never ending dreams i've come to carry in my arms
i crammed them with all those "remainders"
i tried to cram them
little happiness, joys to share
as youths, we now engrave them
the loneliness that brush past us, the sadness that leaves us bewildered
let's take a break from them for today
and try singing out loud
looking so far misty eyed, rainy song
a guilty flutter in the heart, twist and shout
i wave good-bye
and didn't put down my right hand
sputtering day by day in sweet sweet pain
in dream and reality you're my star
"but what if..." i'm feeling reluctant
made a resolve that was weak and half-assed
ah, my feeble courage
take off to tomorrow, fly off to a future where i may shine
fly off for me
the casual exchanges, the indifferent smiles
as a youth, i now etch them in my heart
the scenarios that make up today, the ad libs that make up tomorrow
let's crank up the volume, pick up the speed
and try singing them out loud
twist and shout!!
little happiness, joys to share
as youths, we now engrave them
the loneliness that brush past us, the sadness that leaves us bewildered
let's take a break from them for today
and try singing out loud
twist and shout!!
