about
Kishi Bashi says of the song's inspiration: "It's about being on the outside of society, but also being on the outside of love. When you're pining for somebody's attention, it's just as painful as trying to become accepted in your community or in your society. And, I think, this song is a way to encourage people to keep your chin up, because the world is changing."
lyrics
-LYRICS-
I had a moment with you
our second passed
nothing more you cared to view
I heard the sound of your sigh
I was nothing to you
I could’ve laughed at it all
I had nothing more not a cave in which to crawl
I took it all to the race
and Ibet it on you
As i paused for a second
to remember the very words
I had written them with symbols
From a memory that occurred
there is a time
there is a place for us
for every voice that never sang
for every one trust
I am with you
I belong with you
can’t wait for when
the world can be a better place
with countless hours to embrace with you
I am stranger today
I’m a shadow with darkest shade of grey
in the bright noonday sun
I will wither away
many faces anew
not the same
but they’re all the same to you
in the sea of it all
I was waving to you
In the middle this ocean
in the deepest of the beds
i had written down a poem
that you never could have read
there is a time
there is a place for us
for every voice that never sang
for every one trust
I am with you
I belong with you
can’t wait for when
the world can be a better place
With countless hours to embrace with you

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
