A faded ticket tucked inside an old book
A glass jar holding sugar that never melted
The suit still worn in the morning rush hour
A memo full of plans for the journey back
The elevator descends the city's noise fades
A paper plane on the clothesline its wings are frayed
They say adults must learn to compromise
To hide their dreams in the third drawer of the desk
The most luxurious journey back is taking off the suit
Letting a rubber band hold onto the winds of youth
The gentlest farewell is dismantling the clock
Letting glass marbles roll back into July's rain
The lightest steps are shedding leather shoes
Stepping on puddles in the melted syrup of the 便利店
The longest way home is stepping back and looking
The shadow of a red scarf is still waiting
Old school desks hold unfinished dreams
Words on the blackboard long faded it seems
Those youthful songs like kites in the sky
Now only live in memories where they fly
The most luxurious journey back is taking off the suit
Letting a rubber band hold onto the winds of youth
The gentlest farewell is dismantling the clock
Letting glass marbles roll back into July's rain
The lightest steps are shedding leather shoes
Stepping on puddles in the melted syrup of the 便利店
The longest way home is stepping back and looking
The shadow of a red scarf is still waiting
Those youthful dreams like stars that gleam
Guide my way back through the night
A faded ticket still in hand
Takes me back to where I began
The most luxurious journey back is taking off the suit
Letting a rubber band hold onto the winds of youth
The gentlest farewell is dismantling the clock
Letting glass marbles roll back into July's rain
The lightest steps are shedding leather shoes
Stepping on puddles in the melted syrup of the 便利店
The longest way home is stepping back and looking
The shadow of a red scarf is still waiting
A faded ticket tucked inside an old book
Those youthful days forever in my heart
