#desired reply

Focus my eye to the point where it all overlaps [1]

Screens flow on in this chilly night

Clearing my throat in this empty house, my last night as a teenager

Whatever, may as well act reckless, right?

I have a confession to make

I hope so-and-so doesn't make a big deal out of it

Love's bitterness had always kept my urges at bay

To: Cowardly Me, the timing is never right [2]

I can't keep up with a world that changes ever so quickly

It's a definitive feeling

I like you

Thus, with trembling fingers in a veil of darkness

I let my voice slip out and hit send

I'm unable to sleep, awaiting your desired reply

Relaying a chat log that resembles mutual love

It's an endless loop

（Ring…）

I sobbed like mud, so to speak

My wails start to sound disingenuous

Our people face a moon 380,000km away

You are… even further than that

I want to change

I hope so-and-so doesn't suspect anything

Past traumas resurface tonight, docile and vulnerable

From: Indirect Me, I'm asking you straight up [2]

Um… was I mistaken or were you…

flirting with me that day?

It's a sentimental feeling

I like you

Thus, my hands feel numb in the shadow of a god [3]

I knelt in prayer

I'm unable to sleep, awaiting your desired reply

Eternally left on standby status

You're as perplexing as the distant universe to me

Hey, can I hear your voice for a bit?

Come on, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to end this

Yeah, it's a definitive feeling

I like you

Thus, with trembling fingers in a veil of darkness

I hit send again

I'm unable to sleep, awaiting your desired reply

Relaying a chat log that resembles mutual love

It's an endless loop

（Ring…）

I sobbed like mud, so to speak

I sobbed, and sobbed

[1] - this is hard to format in lyrics. this is referring to the technique used in shooting sports where you would close your non-dominant eye to reduce the parallax effect and therefor improve your aim.

[2] - the way the lines are formatted is likely intended to vaguely resemble old messenger apps. i tried to reflect this same effect in a more clear-cut way.
