Bleach: Episode 263
I wanted to be a soccer player.
I wanted to be a musician.
I want to be a game designer.
I am still looking for the sign,
that will enlighten me, and tell me who I am supposed to be,
what I am supposed to achieve in this life.

I Don't Stand A Chance
I've never been the mainstream guy
Never been the one who stands out, from the crowd
I've never been the fall-back guy
Never been the one who makes you laugh, when you cry
I stand by your side and watch your every move
So I can be there when you fall down
I only wanna see you smile
Never wanna see the sky come down, in your world
I only wanna hear you laugh
Never wanna hear the thunderstorm, in your dream
It hurts me so much but I've to hide it from you
I hope you will forgive me, my dear
(chorus)
I know I don't stand a chance with you in this life
Wooooooo Woooooooo
I know it's hard but I still want you in my life
Wooooooo Woooooooo
It's falling apart, I'm falling deeper
Into the never-ending pit of love
It's one step too far, I cannot climb up
Now there's no way back for me, can't look back, oh no
(chorus)
I know I don't stand a chance with you in this life
Wooooooo Woooooooo
I know it's hard but I still want you in my life
Wooooooo Woooooooo
I know I should stop thinking of you here and now
Wooooooo Woooooooo
I know it's hard but I just can't live without you
Wooooooo Woooooooo
I know I don't stand a chance with you in this life
Wooooooo Woooooooo
I know it's hard but I still want you in my life
Wooooooo Woooooooo
Morality & Mortality
They always say that live and let live is the way to go (mm mm)
Yet why do countless people continue to die in the war
The blood and the tears fill the streets up with despair and pain (oh no)
We're stretched out so thin, we can't give aid to the truly needy (yea)
Why won't we stop taking the lives of the innocent?
Why can't we take a step back and breathe?
(chorus)
Draw from the past, learn from them
We don't have to make the same mistakes again
Time will tell, if we've won
History will hopefully not repeat itself
It's obvious to us that the rich are the ones getting richer (how does that work?)
But aren't the ones that needed help are the poor and the homeless
The filth and the stench fill their homes up with disease and pain (oh my)
They're stretched out so thin, they can barely make ends meet to stay alive
Why won't we start saving the lives of the innocent?
Why can't we take a step back and breathe?
(chorus)
Draw from the past, learn from them
We don't have to make the same mistakes again
Time will tell, if we've won
History will hopefully not repeat itself
Draw from the past, learn from them
We don't have to make the same mistakes again
Time will tell, if we've won
History will hopefully not repeat itself
Your Face
It's 8am, I just woke up
I start to think a lot about you
And I don't know if I could face
The day before me, without you here
I need a moment before I can start to move on
(chorus)
It is hard for me to show
Any emotions in front of you
So I keep them in my heart
And no one will ever know
Know how far I have fallen
Into a never-ending abyss
If I can ever climb up
All I can see is your face
It's past midnight, I lie in bed
I start to think about our past
And I don't know if I could stand
Another minute, without your love
I need to see you right now so I can stop this pain
(chorus)
It is hard for me to show
Any emotions in front of you
So I keep them deep inside
And no one will ever know
Know how far I have fallen
Into a never-ending daydream
If I can ever wake up
all i can see is your face
Your face, your face
I need to tell you how much you really mean to me, but
(chorus)
It is hard for me to show
Any emotions in front of you
So I keep them deep inside
And no one will ever know
Know how far I have fallen
Into a never-ending daydream
If I can ever wake up
All I can see is your face
Your face, your face
I wanna see your face
your face, your face
I will remember your face
Endless Time
Dance in the snow, flying in the wind
You are as free as petals in the air
Drawn to your smile, in love with your scent
I want to be with you to the end of time
(chorus)
Oh my dear, oh my dear
Can I tell you that I love you?
Oh my love, oh my love
Will you tell me you love me too?
~~ Interlude ~~
Bask in the sun, taking in the breeze
You are as calm as palm trees by the sea
Drawn to your gaze, in love with your touch
I hope you will be there til the end of time
(chorus)
Oh my dear, oh my dear
Can I tell you that I miss you?
Oh my love, oh my love
Will you tell me you miss me too?
Oh my dear, oh my dear
Can I tell you that I need you?
Oh my love, oh my love
Will you tell me you need me too?
Lying on the beach, looking at the stars
You were beside me, still as beautiful
I hold your hand, look into your eyes
Say I'll be with you til the end of time
Run and Hide
Baby you should take a look around
There's so many things for you to see
Don't run and hide
When I was on the verge on breaking down
You were the only one who's on my side
You showed me love and helped to calm me down
I never thanked you for what you have done
The rain was coming down
You had to go back home
And now I have to face this world alone
Tell me
(chorus)
Why did you have to leave me here
Why won't you stay and be with me
Love is a never-ending road
And now I have to walk alone
I never told you I loved you
How I regret not doing so
As I looked up into the sky
That august rain is all that I see
This time last year I was still much alive
So glad and thankful that I still had you
We held on tight and hummed our favorite songs
Talked about how we were meant to be
The rain was coming down
You had to go back home
And now I have to face this world alone
Tell me
(chorus)
Why did you have to leave me here
Why won't you stay and be with me
Love is a never-ending road
And now I have to walk alone
I never told you I loved you
How I regret not doing so
As I looked up into the sky
That august rain is all that I see
That august rain is all that I see
The One
I had a dream last night
I was at the beach, stare into the sea
I saw a girl like you
Who came up to me and held out her hand
And then I ran away (and then I ran away)
And now I wish I could turn back
(chorus)
I was afraid I'm not the one
Who you belong to
I want to be the one you see
The one you kiss
Tonight
I saw you in the class
You were looking out of the window
You seemed to be in pain
Like you've been hurt so bad you stopped living
I want to talk to you (I want to talk to you)
But then I couldn't find my voice
(chorus)
I was afraid I'm not the one
Who you belong to
I want to be the one you see
The one you kiss
Today
I hope to be with you (I hope to be with you)
I guess I'll never see that day
(chorus)
I was afraid I'm not the one
Who you belong to
I want to be the one you see
The one you kiss
Right now
