@elkanthe I’m Japanese, so hearing your track really made me want to make my own too. 😄 And of course, the motif is that song you already know—lol.

Lyrics: My Boyfriend Is a Pilot

[Intro][Inst] That little *kyuun* in the air— my heart takes off before I do. [Inst] [Verse 1][Inst] Window seat, school uniform, afterglow, I write your name where nobody knows. They say the war is somewhere far away, but my whole world is your “okay.” You laugh it off like it’s nothing new, but I count the minutes you fly through. I act so tough, but I’m not that strong— I just keep humming your favorite song. [Pre-Chorus] You said you’d come back— so I hold onto that. If I can believe one thing tonight, it’s you coming home in one piece of light. [Chorus] My boyfriend is a pilot, waving from the edge of the sky. [Inst] The more we can’t meet, the more I fall— it’s not fair, it’s not fair, it’s not fair at all. My boyfriend is a pilot, he kisses the air and then he’s gone. [Inst] “Don’t worry,” you smile like it’s easy— and I’m stuck replaying it all night long. [Inst] [Verse 2][Inst] Hallway window, glass and steel, midnight blue, maintenance lights stitch the dark in two. The intercom is dry, then suddenly alive— a launch countdown makes my chest collide. A call sign echoes through the ship’s thin tone, and somehow I’ve memorized it on my own— not because I’m “in” your world like that, just because it’s everywhere… and I can’t look back. I catch your shadow in a single stride, then it’s only engines and the quiet inside. I’m just another passenger holding my breath, trying to place my prayers somewhere they fit. [Pre-Chorus] They’ll say I’m dramatic— let them laugh if they want. Love is heavier than the announcements, and it doesn’t shut off when the lights go dark. [Chorus] My boyfriend is a pilot, waving from the edge of the sky. [Inst] The more we can’t meet, the more I fall— it’s not fair, it’s not fair, it’s not fair at all. My boyfriend is a pilot, he kisses the air and then he’s gone. [Inst] “Don’t worry,” you smile like it’s easy— and I’m stuck replaying it all night long. [Interlude][Inst] [Bridge][Inst] No spotlight, no big “saving the world”— just small “are you okay?” in a loud, loud world. I don’t need a hero in a poster frame, I just want *you*—the boy behind the name. If the city sings, if the screens all glow, I still listen for the sound that I know— that *kyuun* in the air, that turning key… bring it back, bring it back to me. [Final Chorus] My boyfriend is a pilot, bring your sky back down to mine. [Inst] Let the war stay outside these doors— I’m keeping you safe in these little lines. My boyfriend is a pilot, come home like you promised, please. [Inst] Say “I’m back,” like it’s nothing— and let me finally breathe. [Outro][Inst] That little *kyuun* in the air… tomorrow, let it be you. [Inst]
