Transparent Answer

I can't even get lost
In these everyday moments
I sit at my desk, drifting in and out

So, what do you think? You’re
Testing me again
An empty textbook whispers something to me

Ah

If it’s a matter of ability
Well, that’s probably fine
I got a full score on the retake

Next to me, you’re
Smiling shyly
You, with your low score, just sat down

Outside the window, it’s all a mess
Because the answers just pop up right away

"Well then, see? It’s boring," you
Always seem to be having fun

Don’t touch this heart that wants to disappear
Today, the world feels invisible
As the noise starts to rise
I’m alone, saying, "What a cold person"

Even if I try to answer mysteriously now
I somehow understand everything
"If I die like this
Someone else will take my place," I mumble
That’s just foolish, you know

These drifting days repeat
But I can’t shake the feeling of you resting

Well, what about tomorrow’s test?
I guess the results won’t change

Ah

I can’t even get lost in these everyday moments
Somewhere, it’s already
Gone crazy, maybe

Your hair color
Your smile
Maybe no one remembers them anymore

"How does the empty seat
Look from there?" you ask

I don’t know anything about you
Not a single thing

If I could understand just a little
These days would feel like they’d last forever
Every time I try to stop the rising noise
I realize it’s not possible

In the classroom, I hurt this heart that wants to disappear
I kept hiding it, laughing it off

You, who jumped down from here, your smile
I won’t forget it tomorrow.
