“How are you?” I don’t know the answer, but…
Is it nosy to want to know, if you’re still grumpy in the mornings?
After the break-up, nothing’s changed for me… Just
My heart’s so frustrated, it’s stopped beating

Every time I get close to you
I get hurt, yet why do I still want to?

I’m prepared to dye the white rose red again and again
But under the full moon in this broken night
The petals slowly fall

“What are you doing?” I don’t ask that, but…
Is it nosy to want to know, if you’re still bad with phone calls?
I gave my answer after much deliberation, yet… Hey
I sleep with the glowing screen clutched to my chest

I know this will never work
Yet why does this sweet scent lull me to sleep?

I’m prepared to dye the white rose red again and again
But on this moonless, deep night
The stubborn petals still tremble

Cold and lonely, I rewrite those memories
And sacrifice them again. Is this the happiness I wanted?

Even today, humans whitewash love, calling it priceless
But under the full moon, before the night breaks
I’ll move on, goodbye
And thank you

ふたつの影 (Futatsu no kage) – Our shadows

from Anthology single.

——

Your voice spilling from the phone
Makes my heart sunny
I rub my eyes, feeling sleepy
“I’m ok” I say, basking in the night wind

Unable to step out
Yet exhausted from standing still
Will I stop again?

You’re so close to me
But you’re so so far away
Beginnings are scary,　so I hesitate
Have our shadows merged a little?
Or have they grown apart?
Wondering about such days, I just can’t sleep

Your voice, cut off by darkness
Makes my heart rainy
Restraining my fruitless emotions
“I’m ok” I say, my face wet

Becoming honest
Wanting to breathe, so troubled
Will I go back again?

I can feel your gentleness
So vividly, but I’m anxious
Loss is scary, so I act strong
Will our shadows line up
Parallel one day?
Wondering about such days, I just can’t sleep

I love you so much, it’s so uncool
How do you see me?

You’re so close to me
But you’re so so far away
Beginnings are scary,　so I hesitate
Have our shadows merged a little?
Or have they grown apart?
Such days will continue

Why have I become so lonely?
Why won’t the tears stop flowing?
The stars in the nightsky are glittering
As you and I dash out

I’ve always been living on the outside
And when I become unable to see anything
Will you notice what has happened?
It’ll be a comfort if you’ll do

The merry-go-round makes my heart bound
Cast some magic on this special night
Just what’s on the other side of sorrow?
Will you tell me? Before the dawn breaks

If I can have one wish come true
Please just stay by my side
I can feel this emotion, even if I can’t see it
So show me a neverending dream

Why do I want to see you?
Why won’t the words stop coming?
As long as we can share everything
Then I’ll be so happy

Left by dreams, my heart bounds
Stars in the past, on this special night
Just what’s on the other side of joy?
I’ll find it before the magic disappears

If you can smile for me forever
This is a theme park
Please, because time can’t turn back

If I can have one wish come true
Please just stay by my side
I can feel this emotion, even if I can’t see it
So I’ll have a neverending dream

Because you know me better than myself, I believe
We’re bound by a miraculous meeting
