2. Strawberries

赤い空のように
akai sora no you ni
仏又も続く
butsumata mo tsudzuku
イチゴ畑の中にいると
ichigo-batake no naka ni iru to
ほら、聞こえる
hora, kikoeru
✽
大きな声で呼んでる
ooki na koe de yonderu
忘れないでと叫ぶ
wasurenaide to sakebu
now they are 消えていく
now they are kieteiku
うるさいイチゴたち
urusai ichigo-tachi
またイチゴ畑の中にいると
mata ichigo-batake no naka ni iru to
ほら、聞こえる
hora, kikoeru
✽
大きな声で呼んでる
ooki na koe de yonderu
忘れないでと叫ぶ
wasurenaide to sakebu

3. New Years

小さいときのこと
chiisai toki no koto
思い出してごらん
omoidashite goran
その目をそっと開け
sono me wo sotto ake
懐かしい二人が見えてた
natsukashii futari ga mieteta
candy says
✽
小さい思い出も
chiisai omoidemo
忘れないでいてくれた
wasurenaide itekureta
心の奥から作り出した
kokoro no oku kara tsukuri dashita
昨日のメモリー
kinoo no memory
candy says
✽
切ないと叫んだ
setsunai to sakenda
でも、あなたは消えていく
demo, anata wa kiete iku
だけど、かけていく
dakedo, kakete iku
いつまでも思い出の後を
itsumademo omoide no ato wo
思い出の後を
omoide no ato wo

4. Thursday

on gentle ground
i waited for you
in drops of dew
i wished that i were you
with heavy hands
i reached out for you
my skin soaking wet
my eyes searched for you
✽
it seems you lost your way
you've let it all fall apart
nothing's left here but you
all you do is remind me
now that we've lost our way
the rest can all fall apart
all i see here is you
all it does is remind me
✽
with sharpened tongue
i cried out for you
and must i refrain
now that i need you
the autumn wind
feels as if it were you
and swayed through the fields
where i once held you
✽
it seems you lost your way
you've let it all fall apart
nothing's left here but you
all you do is remind me
now that we've lost our way
the rest can all fall apart
all i see here is you
all it does is remind me
✽
whistle through your window
we act the same as you
whistle through your window
we act the same as you

5. Strings

boy who came to sit with you
he talked to your eyes
i can't forget now, for a thought
girls who over and over
they looked right through you
i can't look back now
so i'll pretend
that i pretend
let me pretend for a while
✽
la la la la, la la la la la
君といれば何も見えない
kimi to ireba, nani mo mienai
君とならどこでも行く
kimi to nara, doko demo yuku
何も無いから夜明けでも
nani mo nai kara yoake demo
いつでも呼ぶ夢のように沈んで行く
itsu demo yobu yume no you ni shizunde yuku
✽
boy whose cloudy voice calls you
x's in your eyes
i can't be still now for a thought
girl whose tensions just kill you
shivers in your spine
words don't come easy
so i'll pretend
that i pretend
let me pretend for a while
✽
la la la la, la la la la la
君といれば何も見えない
kimi to ireba, nani mo mienai
君とならどこでも行く
kimi to nara, doko demo yuku
何も無いから夜明けでも
nani mo nai kara yoake demo
いつでも呼ぶ夢のように沈んで行く
itsu demo yobu yume no you ni shizunde yuku

6. Pink Cloud Tracing Paper

staring down with empty eyes
left breathing deep and high
hard at work calling signs
swaying strings of colored lines

7. Red Sea

14 quiet days
these hours just slept in your place
white sand and a vague sense of youth
how can i get through
it's a violent truth that i'm like you
16 lonely hours
no sun or depth
15 dreams of you all alone
but still far from reach
crosses traced in white sand
it's a violent truth that i'm like you
✽
you said the first time was so perfect
but the rest was all just wrong
you said there's too many gone too long

8. Goodbye

once i had a girlfriend
she made my heart just want to die
she just couldn't stay inside
she'll make you open up your eyes
until you've cried yourself a river
throw your hands up in the sky
to be by her side
i'll do anything if just to make her stay
to make her stay
to make her stay
✽
stay, count the time until you're mine
will they ever know?
we can't deny
the world outside just leaves us cold
count the time until you're mine
they'll never know
oh, we'll compromise
the world outside just leaves us cold
✽
once she gave a reason
but the end just made me cry
a red sunrise outside
she made me open up my eyes
until i finally looked around me
when i heard her soft reply
i can't pretend to try
i'll do anything if just to make her stay
to make her stay
to make her stay
✽
stay, count the time until you're mine
will they ever know?
we can't deny
the world outside just leaves us cold
count the time until you're mine
they'll never know
oh, we'll compromise
the world outside just leaves us cold
