Jamie Paige & 0TS Lyrics
(feat. Kasane Teto)
(I believe it's in reference to Jamie Paige)
I've been trying for so long
To make sense of making songs
Forging purpose, feigning pride
Standing static, paralyzed
Oh, I don't do much at all
Idling null before the fall
Didn't think I'd turn out to be
SO WEAK! (So weak)
(じゃ〜！)
I just want to improve and impress you
I'm looking right up at you, oh
But I'm barely enough for myself, nor those
Looking up at me too
This pageless poet has the prowess of a pigeon, and
When faced with failure I don't stand a chance
You say I'm special as I shadow your success, but I
Can't make a living if I can't catch my breath
Falling like a drop from cloud to cheek
I don't have the means to be a prodigy
Still, I am gonna make it, don't you see
And I'll reach the hand extended out from you to me
I want it to be true
I wanna be just like you
I'd do anything to stand with you one day
I'll be your earnest protégé
You've been working for so long
You've made sense of making songs
You've found purpose where you are
You're a self-made superstar
I remind you of yourself
I'm a mirror to your past
So, does the answer come with time?
Can you tell me?
Maybe I'm the thing I try to be
The person that I want the world to see
'Cause when you sing along and take my lead
If only for a moment, I believe
That I could be the things I try to be
Unburdened by the days that pass by me
If only for a moment, I can see
(Are you ready?)
I want you here, right next to me
I want you here, right next to me, ah
(Can you teach me to be-)
Someone worth the energy
Who knows their worth entirely
And breaks down every boundary
Eurythmy always following
With music that means more than anything
Can you teach me to be real?
(Bring the beat back!)
(Dream together, we can dream together)
(We can fantasize about the fairer weather)
(If we stay together, we can stay together)
(Hold each other closer like we're birds of a feather)
(Dream together, we can dream together)
(Baby, ain't nobody gonna live forever)
(So we stay together, we should stay together)
(Hold each other closer like we're birds of a feather)
(I'm such a fucking chud!)
Falling like a drop from cloud to cheek
Oh, I'll live in parallel with all my dreams
I give in to the noise and finally see
I've been singing to a crowd who all feel just like me
I want it to be true
I wanna be just like you
I'd do anything to make you proud one day
I'll be your steadfast protégé
You'll cheer my name
(じゃ〜！)
I've been trying for so long
To make sense of making songs
Forging purpose, feigning pride
Standing static, paralyzed
Oh, I don't do much at all
Idling null before the fall
Didn't think I'd turn out to be
SO WEAK! (So weak)
