One dayOne day
“Kyou aeru kamo” tteThinking “maybe we’ll see each other today,”
Zutto mattetaI’ve been waiting forever
Kimi kara kuru messeejiFor a message to come from you
Osoi tte mouSaying it’s already too late,
Heyagi gaeru sunzenJust as I was about to change into loungewear
Otosenaku natta kono meikuThis makeup I just can’t take off now
Shuuden nogashite isoideI missed the last train, so I’m rushing
Norikomu takushii wa kmClimbing into a taxi eating up the kilometers,
Tobasu risei amMy logic’s flying away in the early AM
IikikaseteruI keep telling myself
Chotto takaku tsuku kedoThat it’s costing me a bit much, but
Nakanaka deaenaiIt’s rare to find a connection like this
Kore wa puraisuresuThis feeling’s truly priceless
Kizuitara agatteta meetaaBefore I knew it, the meter’s climbing
Hikikaesu nante sentakushi wa nai yaTurning back isn’t even an option
Ripiito mou kazoekirenaiI’ve lost count of how many times I’ve replayed this
Mawari wa mienaiI can’t see anything else around me
Mou sukoshi de kimi mokutekichiYou’re my destination, and I’m almost there
