A Conversation by Toru Okada Lyrics

That night he looked down off the balcony and watched the one lamp post turn on. He watched the black pavement and put his head down. I used to get so much hope from these things, he thought. Hope came from people and he knew it. I wondered about her and if her phone was working. I'm glad I never called. How come I feel so let down all the time? He came home and actually understood or relived the exact same moments from the year before. He climbed out of his window and started down the block. He wished he was running by trees in stead of houses...

This moment is all, all I have
This moment is all, all I have
This moment is all, all I have
This moment is all, all I have

He stopped 5 blocks away from his house and gave up. He walked home and let himself go. "I can't stand you," I thought to myself. I hate being this age and I hate the fact that I will never be content with being alone. I walked past the TV and the bookshelf and the neighborhood lights and knew somewhere there was something out there, something more than this. I knew somewhere there was something out there, something more than this. There was something out there, something more than this

This moment is all, all I have
This moment is all, all I have
This moment is all, all I have
This moment is all, all I have

(It's not your fault)
We lit a fire that lasts forever
In a house that no one owns
We lit a fire that lasts forever
In a house that no one owns
We lit a fire that lasts forever
In a city that no one owns
We lit a fire that lasts forever
In a city that no one owns
We lit a fire that lasts forever
In a city that no one owns
We lit a fire that lasts forever
In a house that no one owns
We lit a fire that lasts forever
In a city that no one owns
We lit a fire that lasts forever
In a city that no one owns

The city burned down, we lit a fire
That lasts forever
