On the crossroad of our life
The easterlies blew southward
And in the ever so sudden shift of the world
You began to shine your true color

Shades of yellow suddenly cowered
To an ocean of blue, deep and calm
Never knowing what laid after my eyes,
I thought you were the most serene view

For the life of me I could not guess
Why it seemed like paradise to me
When what lied after my view is your reality
What lied after my view is a chasm

In an unbounded, groundless dark trench
There's a chasm that gets deeper as I stare
On a serene ocean I finally felt your peace
The same peace I wish for you to be

Had it occurred to me a lot sooner
I could have realized; life mirrors art
Together we could have began--
Shining our true colors to the world

Ngayong lumipas na ang temang nakasanayan
Silip banayad sa kahapong dagliang dumaan
Pikit man ang mata, alaala naman ay pabulong
Hikahos sa hanging hindi naman tunay na yumao

Niyaring tinapos ang kasalukuyan sa halina't
Imahe ng kapayapaan sa kabilang daungan
Lingid sa ibabaw ng katinuan na ang bangka
Lumutang man ay di masasakyang tuluyan

Bigkas ay mga hikbi sa bawat pagsulong
Hanggat ang biyak ay hindi tuluyang magtagpo
Sa harap ng dahas at galit ng ilog sa pagitan
Paglubog ng liwanag ay syang di maiiwasan

Niyaring tinapos ang kasalukuyan sa halina,
Silip banayad sa kahapong dagliang dumaan
Sa harap ng dahas at galit ng ilog sa pagitan
Pagkalunod sa sariling luha'y syang di iiwasan

It felt lonelier in every other night
Between you and me, I was ashamed
To be the one who misses you now
After all the things I have said before

Remember the call that fateful night?
I swear from this heart to be over
Saying everything's wont be the same
Then bid you goodbye for certainty

Where were those words tonight?
To keep me company until tomorrow
Where were those words tonight?
To keep me from calling your name

Without me minding the days passing
Tears side by side they fall like rain
Between you and me, I am afraid
Being the one who cries tonight

There were regrets I rather forget
Like how I was here and not there--
Beside you where my heart should be
Where my heart should've stayed

I hate how it turned out to be this way
Keeping you happy at a distance
To a place you will never be hurt
After all the things I put you through

In a moment that seemed an eternity,
Silent drapes covering a forgotten coffin
Swayed sideways on folded creases
Neatly revealing a rather sunny eyes

It was when the times were different
Greener grass was the only bound to be
Blessed with the innocence of youth
And drunk with the familiarity of life

Then spirit would have caused changes
Life long treasured accomplishments
But stories like such can be manacing
Since just looking at it proves to be so

Whenever Father Time feels relevant
Same conservation whispers in me
Those trying times already passed
Though I can't find it internally resolved

So back to the dusty old shelf it goes
Taunting it maybe, I won't let myself
Reminisce those times I was sunny
The youth I missed was bitterly over

When the skies are a blanket of violet
Stars they whisper for tides to calm
Then, in the silence should I realize
It has grown to be the way I am living

It's only so far a smile can take the crowd,
In days far from the sunrise in the east
Those eyes will undoubtedly catch me
Crying a river, knee-deep in your nostalgia

For you I will give an exemption
To find another purpose in life
So the things you treasured here
May grow and spring reminiscently

On the wake of the morning sun
I will embrace the warmth within
Looking up and clutching the skies
As I imagined you would, every single day

Since living alone I finally realized
The night, it's long and unforgiving
And having someone to look forward to--
The night eventually lost its facade of a beauty

Living purposely brought me to realize
I had it wrong and you were right
The sun I saw when I was in my lowest
Was brighter on the other side

So whenever I feel fleeting away
Somewhere, some place, some how
Your voice remains the only hope
To steadily anchor me to my feet

As though life was not once cruel to me
Hear me sing a song of love to you
Because I know none of what I've done--
In your eyes, none of them was in vain

On the day of my last breath, I will smile
And in the other side I'll finally see you
Smiling, as I imagined you would
"The sun really is brighter on this side"

Well versed crowd dancing around us
Still, I have your hands with mine
Enter the night, we'll still be together
Terribly drunk so caught in ecstasy

Gather your things and feel the lights
On the way to the crowd, let's be lost
Then find each other's heartbeats
As they slowly synchronize

Hear it real close from the source
Just how your man can only imagine
Accidents? They naturally happen
Tonight might just be the one you need

The room will past every ticking second
But it's still you and me drunk terribly
And even if it meant time is wasted
It was still time well wasted with you

Won't let our plastic cups be empty
Accidents? Surely they could happen
The room it passed every ticking second
And it's still you and me drunk terribly
