Why Does Mitsuko Run?

V4.5-ALL

[Intro] Cutting through the sunset Taking only wind No one knows the answer Mitsuko runs again [Verse 1] Nothing left behind her Not a single word Never looking backward Running past the world If she’s running from it She looks far too calm If she’s chasing something It has traveled far [Pre-Chorus] Hey, Mitsuko Where are you going? Hey, Mitsuko What did you see? She must hear the questions But leaves them with the breeze [Chorus] Why does Mitsuko run? No one knows the reason City lights are passing But she keeps the rhythm Why does Mitsuko run? Maybe stopping makes no sense Before the sunset disappears There might be time left yet [Verse 2] Every time her hair flies Time begins again Same horizon glowing Different steps ahead There may be no doorway There may be no end Running is the answer Until the answer comes [Pre-Chorus] Hey, Mitsuko Don’t you get tired? Hey, Mitsuko Won’t you go home? She outruns the voices At the border of the night [Chorus] Why does Mitsuko run? No one knows the reason Is she chasing someone? Is she leaving something? Why does Mitsuko run? Maybe there is no last step Before the sunset disappears There might be time left yet [Bridge] One more circle Same red sky Ten more seconds Passing by If it never ends Don’t make it end Every step she takes Becomes the road ahead [Final Chorus] Why does Mitsuko run? Maybe she can’t answer Let the reason catch her She can run there faster Why does Mitsuko run? Is somebody waiting there? Before the city turns to night She has a moment left Run, Mitsuko Run, Mitsuko There’s still Time left yet [Outro] Cutting through the sunset Running past the answer No one knows the reason Mitsuko runs again
