Hello NPR Tiny Desk Concert. This is my
bedroom, this is my very literal tiny
desk, and this is my song.
My love...
Well, my love vanished.
Took me 'till then (took me too long),
but I saw the damage.
Never even cared if you lied,
what hurt was the truth underlying.
What's worse is I knew that you meant it.
Now you'll spend this time with her.
Whether she's real or invented,
I deserve to feel tormented.
And when I look outside,
I mean to find my pain reflected,
but all the cherry blossoms were in bloom
(bloom)
Falling like snow, falling like snow,
falling too soon.
My love...
What of myself?
(oh)
Thought I caught my reflection in your eyes.
I just hoped there was something else.
You could say I had innocence, you could say I had it all.
You could compare me to Icarus, knew I always had to fall.
But you'd think on a day like this, the skies wouldn't seem so calm.
You'd think the world would show compassion.
You'd think somehow it'd all seem wrong,
but all the cherry blossoms were in bloom
(bloom)
Falling like snow, falling like snow,
falling too soon.
There goes another year,
there goes another flower,
there goes my self-assurance,
my last semblance of power.
Are we broken now? 'Cause I'm breaking down,
about to hit the ground.
Falling fast, wish it could last, but we are nature-bound.
And all the cherry blossoms were in bloom
(bloom, ah)
Falling like snow, falling like snow,
falling too soon.
Falling like snow, falling like snow
falling too soon.
You took a girl, and then loved her
selfishly.
She did the same damn thing,
you were only seventeen.
In early spring,
guess it didn't mean a thing,
but all the cherry blossoms were in ...
thank you
