[Intro]

Se no


[Verse 1]

The air that surrounds me here is haunted

It propagates the scent of lavender

Of tire swings hanging by the frayed ropes

The sound of your laughter from years ago

Autumn and winter here are fully dressed

In matte black umbrellas and trench coats

But spring and summer live as warm memories

Beneath a red parasol


[Pre-Chorus]

My, how romantic

These fantasies of you

They would make for nice photographs

If they evеr came true


[Chorus]

Therе is a light inside the palm of your hand

When I once held it, oh I still felt the sparks

There is a moment that I’d like to relive

Am I wrong to think of what might have been?


[Verse 2]

Crosshatching shadows on a calendar

The ones that slowly creep from cell to cell

The dreadful march of time

It’s what keeps me up at night

How days sink like pearls in a milk tea

Hey


[Pre-Chorus]

My, how pathetic

These sentimental moods

Even if they’re clouds of smoke

They float in billows shaped like you


[Chorus]

There is a light inside the palm of your hand

When I once held it, oh I still felt the sparks

There is a moment that I’d like to relive

Am I wrong to think of what might have been?


[Bridge]

Apartment windows are aglow as I walk home

Silver streets reflecting pink and orange hue

Like Monet en plein air, for it had rained earlier

By tomorrow this pretty scene will disappear

Does it wait beneath a red parasol?


[Chorus]

There is a light inside the palm of your hand

When I once held it, oh I still felt the sparks

There is a moment that I’d like to relive

Am I wrong to think of what might have been?
