RADWIMPS - Order Made (Lyrics)

Lyrics Credit: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/order-made

Surely before I was born,

I was asked by someone, somewhere,

"The past or the future -

I'll let you see one of them,

So which one do you want?"

And then I chose the past,

So that instead of a strong person,

I could become a gentle one

And understand the things called "memories."

Next, that someone said to me,

"Arms, legs, mouths, ears, eyes,

Hearts, breasts, nostrils,

I'll give you two of each.

That's fine, right?"

But I requested for him

To give me only one mouth,

So that I wouldn't fight with myself,

So that I could kiss only one person.

I want to forget, but I won't forget.

What is this feeling called?

Looking slightly out of sorts, that person

Had no choice but to continue on.

"The heart's the most important,

So I'll give you one of each side of your chest.

That's fine, right?"

And again, I requested,

"Thank you very much,

But I don't need the heart on the right.

I apologize for my selfishness."

So that when I meet the person important to me

And embrace her for the first time,

I will know our two hearts are beating

At both sides of our chests.

The left is mine, so the right is yours.

The left is yours, so the right is mine.

So that by myself, I'm missing something.

So that I can't live on always alone.

I want to forget, but I won't forget.

What is this feeling called?

The noise in my chest is loud but somehow nostalgic.

What is this feeling called?

"By the way, there's one more thing -

Do you want the 'tears' option?

There's no disadvantage if you don't

And some people say it's troublesome and do without.

What will you do?"

And then I requested it.

So that instead of a strong person,

I could become a gentle one,

And understand what is "important."

"Also, there are different flavors of tears.

Choose the one you like.

Sour, salty,

Spicy, sweet,

Choose any of them.

Which one do you prefer?"

"Everything is arranged to your liking, right?

So properly show your face that's clouded by tears.

Hey, show it proudly!"

"Thank you so much.

I'm sure I caused you a lot of trouble.

Can I ask one last thing?

Have we met somewhere before?"
