[Verse 1] Cherry blossoms in the side street Pink confetti in the drains Convenience store sweetness Peach milk, melon bread, rain Pink noise in the blossoms Soft static in the trees Your absence sounds pastel When the air is warm enough to breathe [Pre-Chorus] Warm air through the window Like a hand I’m not allowed to take Somewhere, a train passes And I feel my heart arrive late I don’t call it missing I let the season take the blame Everything turns gentle And it almost says your name [Chorus] Warm air, pink noise Blossoms in the street I only get you briefly But briefly ruins me Warm air, pink noise You in little flashes I only get the season once Then spend the year in ashes [Verse 2] You arrive like blossom season Brief, bright, impossible to keep A little flash of almost Falling soft on everything You are a season with visiting hours A sweetness with a leaving date I stand under all that pink And try not to ask it to stay [Pre-Chorus] Warm air through the window Like a promise made of smoke Somewhere, a train passes And I become the one who waits I don’t reach for what is leaving I just learn the shape it makes Petals gather in the gutter Like the words I never say [Chorus] Warm air, pink noise Blossoms in the street I only get you briefly But briefly ruins me Warm air, pink noise You in little flashes I only get the season once Then spend the year in ashes [Bridge] Maybe sweetness is a doorway That only opens in the spring Maybe longing is the weather When I cannot name the thing Maybe I don’t miss the season Maybe I miss being near To something soft enough to vanish But bright enough to reappear Shibas barking down the alley Laundry lifting in the blue Every ordinary sound Turns itself into proof of you [Final Chorus] Warm air, pink noise Blossoms in the street I only get you briefly But briefly ruins me Warm air, pink noise You in little flashes I only get the season once Then spend the year in ashes Warm air, pink noise Petals at my feet I keep trying to go back To the place I almost keep [Outro] Cherry blossoms in the side street Pink confetti in the drains The air gets warm without you And I want you back again
