NOKKO – フレンズ / THE FIRST TAKE

NOKKO – フレンズ / THE FIRST TAKE

Well then Nori, Kore, everyone Are we ready? Yes Then let’s begin That day we exchanged a kiss I couldn’t even look at my mom’s face Gathering coins from our pockets We counted our dreams, one by one See, that was our hide-away A secret memory, oh Where did it fall apart, oh friends

On days when we hung our heads, we locked eyes And linked fingers, oh friends It felt like time came to a stand Hey, do you remember That song that goes so well with sunsets When you used to go quiet It made me sad, and I used to hum it but

Now, time has passed That melody has taken on a sepia tone, oh We can never go back, oh friends You seem so much further away than anybody Always running, oh friends Those eyes are so endearing Where did it fall apart, oh friends On days when we hung our heads, we locked eyes

And linked fingers, oh friends It felt like time came to a stand We can never go back, oh friends You seem so much further away than anybody Always running, oh friends Those eyes are so endearing
