Lyrics: Klara Haugen
Music: Klara Haugen
Last train hums
I miss it
Drink sweats on the plastic seat
Neon menus in the window
Steam on the glass
Hiding me
Crosswalk counting down in red
I stall on green instead
Your ghost in every storefront pane
Walking just out of frame
Shibuya shadow-play
You’re there
Then you fade away
Crowds cut through my line of sight
You turn to smoke in the light
Shibuya shadow-play
I reach
But you’re all delay
Every time I think you stay
You slip
You slip away
Sticker walls and tangled cables
Photo booths with hearts for eyes
I keep posing with your absence
Tilt my head to match your side
Your laugh caught in a taxi door
Reflection on the vinyl floor
I chase silhouettes that sway
Always one arm away
Shibuya shadow-play
You’re there
Then you fade away
Crowds cut through my line of sight
You turn to smoke in the light
Shibuya shadow-play
I reach
But you’re all delay
Every time I think you stay
You slip
You slip away
Maybe you were just the city
Wearing someone else’s face (oh)
Maybe I was just a tourist
In a life I couldn’t trace
Shibuya shadow-play
You’re there
Then you fade away
Crosswalks flicker black and white
You’re just a trick of the light
Shibuya shadow-play
I reach
But you’re all delay
Every time I think you stay
You slip
You slip away
