A beautiful, ephemeral heartbreak song from ONE OK ROCK.

The lyrics dwell relentlessly on lingering feelings for a past lover, and just reading them makes your chest tighten.

Taka’s heartbreakingly poignant voice, which spins such straightforward love, seeps deeper and deeper into our hearts as listeners.

The lyrics blend English and Japanese, so try parsing not only the Japanese parts but the English ones as well.

Precisely because they usually play intense rock numbers, a gentle, relaxed song like this also comes across as deeply compelling.
