+ Well, she crept back in the house at half past three +

Sora opened the door to their bedroom.

+ Shook her head to see him snoring in his sleep +

"If you really loved me," she said
"I wouldn't have to be so mean."




+ He's a heap of junk that pours from his top drawer +

Yamato's hands were holding a picture of Taichi and him together.

+ Sometimes likes to spread it out around the floor +

Yaoi manga was lying around, and so were notes and letters from Taichi.

+ It's evidence of what he was like +
+ He likes to remember when... +

He stirred in his sleep.





+ Sha la la, sha la la la la +
+ The end is growing near +

Sora hissed inwardly at the sight of Yamato and his possessions.

+ We're treading water now +
+ And holding back our tears +

Her heart grew heavy. This was the man she loved.

+ And the day is rising +
+ We're sinking sha la la la la +





+ In a minute it will all be coming down +

Yamato woke up from his light sleep.

+ And they know it now but no one makes a sound +

The two of them stared at each other, and he began to rise from the bed.

+ Such a shame to ruin this bright +
+ Lazy summer day... +





+ Sha la la, sha la la la la +
+ The end is growing near +

Their eyes still locked, they moved closer.

+ We're treading water now +
+ And holding back our tears +

Each felt a seperate wound.

+ And the day is rising +

The sun shone into the small apartment, yet the room wasn't any brighter.

+ We're sinking sha la la la la +






+ My my, the cruelest lies are often told without a word +

Yamato's hand shook, and the picture rattled.

+ My my, the kindest truths are often spoken, never heard +

He whispered, "You were a good girl, but... "





She said, "You've been pushing me like I was a sore tooth.
You can't respect me 'cause I've done so much for you."
He said, "Well I hate that it's come to this
But baby I was doing fine. How do you think
That I survived the other 25 before you?"





+ Sha la la, sha la la la la +
+ The end is growing near +

"It's over, Ishida!" Sora slapped his cheek. "You don't need me! I hate you for this!"

+ We're treading water now +

"Yeah, well I broke my promise to Taichi! You can say all you want because I don't care anymore! I can't care for you." Yamato glared at her.

+ And holding back our tears +

Sora held her head in her hands as Yamato ran to the front of the apartment, still holding the picture.

+ And the day is rising +

They held their breath.

+ We're sinking sha la la la la +


He ran out, and slammed the door behind him.

She watched him run away.
