Sha La La

Hey, the sky is so blue
But your face is cloudy
I can hear the melody playing on the radio
Carried by the salty breeze

Sha la la, I feel
Like someone’s stroking my hair, saying it’s OK
Sha la la la la, I’ll keep singing
Until it reaches you

Let’s drive to a beach far away
And throw our favourite songs in the trash
In this very time
When I can’t say “thank you” outright

Sha la la, when I’m by your side
I can give my love and my job my all
Sha la la la la, so that
We’re always allies

Sha la la, I put a shell to my ear
And listened carefully
When I close my eyes you’re there, smiling

Sha la la, when I’m by your side
I can give my love and my job my all
Sha la la la la, let’s sing
A harmony that echoes around

Happy Ending

We’re walking hand in hand
Up the same old hill
Lit up by the streetlights
Our shadows are side by side
This isn’t a special day
But for some reason I feel satisfied in my heart

Hey, I want
To stay like this with you forever
I want to overcome all the sadness and pain
By your side
The words you’ve given me today
Add to the huge pile that I have
This is probably what happiness is
That’s how I felt, with all my heart

I love your eyelashes
When you’re sleeping
Tracing them gently with my fingers
Is my way of saying good morning
We were born in different towns
But for some mysterious reason, we share the same dreams

Hey, this love
May not be as dramatic as in the movies
But I want to live out what I have of the future
With you
We grew up
Watched over by an irreplaceable bond
I hope we can look back on our life
And say it was peaceful

Fate is surely
Smiling on us gently
If we can overcome the sadness and the pain
Together
I want
To stay like this with you forever
I pray that we’ll have a happy ending
With all my heart

私さがし(寻找自我)

I got together with my friends for the first time in ages
On a Sunday afternoon
They helped me put closure on the worst of scenarios
How many times have I tried
To forgive you?
All I know is that my tears have all dried up
After all this drama
The sky and the clouds are bright
I smile even less than usual
And begin to give in to sadness

I closed my eyes quietly
And chose my last kiss
Don’t condemn me for doing what I did that day
I can’t see an answer
Surely in time
That same old comforting feeling
Like being given flowers
Will resurface
I’m going to keep true love I had for you
Deep in my heart

When I go to sleep
I always think happy thoughts
You had a habit
Of drinking in a lot of glory
For some reason love ends in sadness
It’s because it doesn’t last forever
That you don’t forget that person

Ever since we met
There were all kinds of lies
But feel like you taught me something
More important than words
Maybe if I’d just carried these wounds around
And lived in pain
I could have merged with your colours, so different from mine
And we could have become a rainbow
Now it was the wind I told
About my whole-hearted love

I closed my eyes quietly
And chose my last kiss
Don’t condemn me for doing what I did that day
I can’t see an answer
Surely in time
That same old comforting feeling
Like being given flowers
Will resurface
I’m going to keep true love I had for you
Deep in my heart

We’ll never see each other again
So I’ll keep it deep in my heart

Deep grief

By the time a day comes
When we can laugh and talk together
I’ll probably be an old lady
Who’s loved you all her life
Wherever I am, whatever I do
I feel like my heart has fallen out

It was when I fell and hurt myself that I realised
I really wanted to cry at the top of my lungs
Those happy memories are playing out
As I crouch here, unable to make amends

You could never be indifferent to a friend
That’s just the kind of guy you were
When you made yourself ask me out
It was only because I’d worried you
I wanted you to praise me
For my long hair, for the dreams I chose

What kind of person do you have to be
To be connected to the person you love more than anyone under the sky?
When I sobbed, you rubbed my back gently
I know we can never go back the way we were

It was when I fell and hurt myself that I realised
I really wanted to cry at the top of my lungs
Those happy memories are so bright
I can’t move from here
