[Verse 1]
A half-moon hung in the blue sky.
It was still as bright as day all around,
And I, wearing plastic goggles to shield myself from flying debris.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Battled the weeds right in front of me
With an electric grass trimmer.
[Chorus 1]
People wonder if one can live on memories alone,
But in reality, we are swept up in the rush of daily life.
Yet, the space where you used to be remains a void – one that can never be filled.
[Verse 2]
I am in excellent health, so I have no idea.
How much longer this life of mine will go on.
I’ve grown completely accustomed to being alone;
The rest of my life will likely drift by aimlessly.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I wonder when I stopped feeling that heart-pounding excitement and thrill.
[Chorus 2]
People wonder if one can live on memories alone,
But in reality, we are swept up in the rush of daily life.
Yet, the space where you used to be remains a void – one that can never be filled.
[Verse 3]
You in the photograph are simply smiling,
While I, living in reality, no longer smile.
Since you no longer exist in the physical world,
There is nothing left for us to do together.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
The French couple next door called out to me.
I envy the living; they seem so full of joy.
[Chorus 3]
People wonder if one can live on memories alone,
But in reality, we are swept up in the rush of daily life.
Yet, the space where you used to be remains a void – one that can never be filled.
[Bridge]
“A pumpkin has sprouted from the compost and is bearing two fruits,” they reported,
Adding, “The shido is growing vigorously
We’d love to have some of the leaves.”
[Final Chorus]
People wonder if one can live on memories alone,
But in reality, we are swept up in the rush of daily life.
Yet, the space where you used to be remains a void – one that can never be filled.
[Outro]
