I can’t help it
I miss you so much I can’t control it
There’s something I’ve always wanted to tell you
My August sighs won’t make it there in time
Standing at the turnstiles, the train passes me by
My days are filled with things that can’t be rewound
But there’s nothing I can do about it, so I’m waiting and waiting
I was living life surrounded by average temperatures in all directions
When the view before my very eyes
Began to waver
It’s probably not summer’s fault
I can’t help it
I miss you so much I can’t control it
There’s something I’ve always wanted to tell you
I focus on my desire to be by your side
As I scream into the fan, hoping it will reach you
I can’t cover it up anymore
I’m not interested in anyone but you
I wish I could say those three words, “I love you”
Cumulonimbus clouds hang in the summer sky
Their shadows seem so close, yet so far
Ahh, ahh
I had a middle of the night conversation
With the unenthusiastic clerk at the convenience store
I melted into the kind of everyday life that can be found anywhere in Japan
The scent of summer became tinged with autumn
Cutting the melancholy and lethargy with cider
I want to talk with you
As two people who draw breath in this day and age
I’m not exaggerating
Not a year ago, not a year from now
I’ve fallen in love with who you are right now
The summer sky is filled with fireworks
Sadness blooms
This year is coming to an end
Ahh, ahh
All of these feelings, the scenery, the smiles, the irritations
I’m sure I’ll forget them all one day
I don’t want to explain it all away as “nostalgia”
The memories come to me in drips and drops
Ahh, ahh
I can’t help it
I miss you so much I can’t control it
There’s something I’ve always wanted to tell you
Hoping this feeling of wanting to be with you will be heard
I’m humming louder than a wind chime
I want to burn your image into my eyes
No matter the moment we’re in
So that I don’t have to rely on my memory
As the calendar’s pages begin to turn
I hope this fast, yet slow “I love you” reaches you
Ahh, ahh
