It looks so familiar, yet I’ve never been here before
A name on my palm, now a blur, I can’t read anymore
A shadow just passed by my side,
They bow and they ask me to rise—
Everyone’s gone while I slept, lost in the tide.

The final stop, they now declare,
My mind is drifting, thin as air.
When the driver halts in the middle of nowhere,
He beckons me to step down here.

Beyond the clouds, what lies ahead?
I feel my colors start to shed.
Into the void, each step I tread
Makes me whiter,
Whiter,
White.

I don’t want to go, yet I cannot stay,
Hearing the sighs of those who watch me walk away.
I feel for them, standing there so long,
Looking at my hands where the colors have gone;
In the way I leave, I finally see through.

They say the final stop
Is always a blur of something.
When the driver stalls in mid-air,
They beckon me:
“Step down.”
Down here.
Whiter.
Whiter.

I’m sorry, my dear
For holding your hand only in my head
For loving you wildly inside my head
Because I’m just that kind of man
Since in real life, I can't hold your hand.

Please forgive me
For living with you in my fantasy
Reading comics together in sweet harmony
My in-mind soulmate, forever you stay
Though in reality, there's no one today.

In my mind, we build a house that’s gleaming
And every night when stars come out, our love is dreaming.
Oh, this world so far
I wish upon a star
Just to hold your hand, to hold your hand
And caress your hair where the shadows are.

Still I dream
That you’d sense a presence near your side
Someone behind the trees, where I hide
Watching you with a love so deep
Though in the real world, no one I keep.

In my mind, we build a castle, small and sweet
And every time I leave, you beg for no retreat.

Oh, this world so far
I wish upon a star
Just to hold your hand, to hold your hand
And caress your hair where the shadows are.

My in-mind soulmate, forever you stay
Though in reality, there's no one today.
My in-mind soulmate, forever you stay
