Oxt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kimi o sagashiteru
Soon, I found a ghost and reached out to it
Kasumeta kono te no mukou e
See how I'm now, walking towards nowhere
Nukegara no you ni
Searching a memory, but it's like an empty box
Souyatte chiratsuku no nara
Kokorogoto subete ubaisatte yo
Kieteyuku tada kieteyuku
Omokage mo sugoshita hibi mo
Namida sae kareta boku o mite
Uso dayo tte warattehoshii
Mou ichido warattehoshii
What I need is you, more than anything, I know
Kidzuiteita noni
You gave me smiles, tears and all feelings
Arayuru bamen ga bureteyuku
Shouting "please come back" from the maze
Souyatte tomadou uchi ni
Boku wa mou jibun mo miushinatteku
Nigeteyuku mata nigeteyuku
Oikakete te o nobashitemo
Dare yorimo taisetsu datta to
Koukai mo tada kuu o kitta
Kieteyuku tada kieteyuku
Omokage mo sugoshita hibi mo
Itsuka mata meguriaeta nara
Mou ichido tomo ni arukou
Mou nido to hanasanai kara
