| Song | Obligatory Ballad |
| Artist | Fish |
| Album | Fellini Days |
| 作词 : Dick, Wesley | |
| Time was when I called you before we went to sleep | |
| No matter where we were, | |
| No matter the moment, no matter the time | |
| Time was when the words we spoke were always true, | |
| There was no need to lie or hide at that time the answers we knew, | |
| There were no questions, there was no need, our love was there to be believed | |
| But in time the passion seemed to appear so obligatory. | |
| Time was when the moments seemed to last forever, | |
| Time was when we never thought we would be anything but together, | |
| Lonely people in separate rooms, lonely people with nothing to do, | |
| Lonely people just like me and you, so predictable, so sadly true, | |
| So sadly true, so obligatory, | |
| Just like me and you, so obligatory, so obligatory. | |
| If time will be a healer then time will be my friend | |
| And in time the shadows lift and I can begin to live again, | |
| But in the hollows of this aching heart remains a soul that was torn apart | |
| And in time I will make a new start, oh so obligatory, | |
| Learn to love again, oh so obligatory, so obligatory. | |
| I will love again, so obligatory. | |
| Once upon a time it was easy to say I love you, I love you, | |
| I still love you, so obligatory, | |
| It all became so obligatory |
