about
Inspired by the symbolism and traditions surrounding the cherry blossom in Japanese culture, this song is about transience, renewal, and hope.
lyrics
Sakura
Landlord called, said he’d be by to show my place
to someone who can better afford it
they’ll take my lease in may
So i’ll pack up my things
and i’ll move again
done it so many times
it’s the back of my hand
February’s supposed to be short
but it’s longer than ever before
twenty-five and i’m supposed to be sure
but my walls are made of cardboard
need to learn how to let go when it’s time
I miss people i didn’t love and places I never liked
Ponyboy don’t you know
that nothing gold can stay
it’s aseasonal, the sadness
I never minded rain
I’m a droplet in the wind
Time goes by but I’m still where I’ve always been
Lose my mind to find myself, change my plans
Click my heels so hard they’re bleeding ruby red
Crying Eden, take my hand
I’m blue, I’m gray, I’m thin
So I’ll pack up my things
and i’ll move again
done it so many times
it’s the back of my hand
I’m a blossom in the spring
