## Lyrics

#### Series Version

Do you somehow remember how we gazed up at the atmosphere,

And how we watched the sunset go and fade away?

As I walk to the future, I'll still keep the promise that I made

From all those endless Summer days...

The shadows that hide behind my smile

Extend within every sole expression.

Pretending that I am someone else

And giving a false impression.

I sit alone waiting for

Someone to tell me that you're okay and where you are.

The nights that don't seem to last,

And coming dawns that went by so fast,

Their meanings of everything were not far.

Someday you will remember how we gazed up at the atmosphere,

And how we watched the sunset go and fade away.

Recover and embrace all the promises that we can't fulfil,

Instead let's walk on our own way.

#### Full Version

Do you somehow remember how we gazed up at the atmosphere,

And how we watched the sunset go and fade away?

As I walk to the future, I'll still keep the promise that I made

From all those endless Summer days...

The shadows that hide behind my smile

Extend within every sole expression.

Pretending that I am someone else

And giving a false impression.

I sit alone waiting for

Someone to tell me that you're okay and where you are.

The nights that don't seem to last,

And coming dawns that went by so fast,

Their meanings of everything were not far.

Did you fail to remember how we gazed up at the atmosphere,

And how we never saw the sunset look the same?

The promise has been broken, and has vanished in the passing breeze.

We can't go back the way we came.

My memories, they're swept around this room

And still I feel like they've been cut in two.

I'm scattered, my soul is trembling

As sleep's coming into my view.

Please comfort me with your lies.

Messy pictures drawn with our eyes, I hate and love them all.

Nowadays we can't see so straight,

Emotions torn and blasted away,

And that's why I have to bid you goodbye!

So we waved to another, saying we will meet once more someday,

Our tears indicating that our meeting was not sure.

Still I heard your voice waver, when you said that we would meet again.

I won't forget-!

Someday you will remember how we gazed up at the atmosphere,

And how we watched the sunset go and fade away.

Recover and embrace all the promises that we can't fulfil,

Instead let's walk on our own way.

## Trivia

It's implied that this ending song, based on the lyrics, is supposed to be from Martin's perspective, singing about the end of his and Jenna's boyfriend-girlfriend relationship and possibly speaking to Jenna herself in the process. This is most strongly implied in the lyrics, "I sit alone waiting for Someone to tell me that you're okay and where you are." and "Recover and embrace all the promises that we can't fulfil, Instead let's walk on our own way." which tie in with her repeated absences on assignments for advancing herself and her career ambitions, and with their agreement at the end of the first episode to work together amicably in a platonic friendship so that they can both better themselves.
