1.On the platform waiting for the first train,
2.I sniffed the sleeve of my worn-out shirt.
3.As expected, it only smelled of cigarettes,
4.There was no trace of your scent.5.
6.Let’s take a little detour,
7.Maybe buy something sweet on the way home.
8.But I found myself 12 yen short,
9.So I picked up some cheap candy instead.10.
11.Just like you said,
12.This world is full of things beyond our control.
13.Just like you said,
14.It seems we were never destined to be.15.
16.I tried to hold onto
17.The time that was slipping away,
18.But my hands fell through the air like grasping at nothing.
19.Don’t go, don’t go, please,
20.Don’t go, don’t go, please,
21.Don’t leave me alone,
22.Don’t leave me alone,
23.Please.24.
25.Just like you said,
26.This world is full of things beyond our control.
27.But the morning was so bright,
28.It felt as if it was waiting for me to return.29.
30.Just like you said,
31.This world is full of things beyond our control.
32.Just like you said,
33.It seems we were never destined to be.
