ずっと気になってたリトグラフ
無理して買ったのは何故かしら
エキストラみたいな人ごみの中
邪魔になりながらも抱えてる
Ah 知りすぎてるから
迷う事もできないこの街で
夕暮れよりもさり気の無い
黄昏に吹かれてる

あなたなの思い出したのは
好きな人のように
思い出がおもいがけなくて
どうすればいいの
どうすればいいの

二人の間には一切れの
ユーモアも無くなってしまってた
変わり果ててしまう愛の姿に
泣きながら笑ったあれはいつ

Ah あなたがどこかで
幸せだったら少し悲しい
私みたいに立ち止まって
不思議な気持ちでいれば
あなたなの思い出せるのは
やり直せるように

思い出がおもいがけなくて
どうすればいいの......

Overall Meaning

In Powder's song, "I," the singer talks about a lithograph that they have been unable to stop thinking about. They bought it even though it was a bit of a stretch financially and now they are carrying it around like an extra in a crowded place. The singer is too aware of their surroundings and feels like they cannot get lost in their thoughts because of it. They remember the lithograph and are reminded of someone they loved. The memories are unexpected and overwhelming, leaving the singer unsure of what to do.

The second verse delves into a relationship that has lost its humor and has transformed into something unrecognizable. The singer recalls a time when they laughed despite crying, but wonders when that happened and how it all changed. They wonder if the person they loved is happy somewhere else and feel a bit sad about it. They imagine themselves standing still and having mysterious feelings while trying to remember this person they loved.

Overall, the song seems to be about a person grappling with complex emotions, struggling to remember the past, and dealing with the changes in their lives.
