“What U doin?”
“Who are you with?”
“Hey, say something back”
“I’m always thinking about you”
“Ah, I wanna see you”
…oh, there’s no “read” mark on these texts
Somehow, even more than before
I’m totally in love
The electric bill is more than triple the usual
I can’t tell anyone about the covert part-time job I had to start
My sunburned skin, as I’m swallowed up by the waves
No one knows about any of it—I’m so dizzy—just you…
Our matching iPhone cases
Your blue toothbrush, bristles frayed out
I washed your extra-large T-shirt I sleep in
I didn’t mean to do that
Give me back my electric fan… or I could come get it, that works too
Tell me your address, I promise I’ll go straight home once I get it
Detouring around the closest station, and getting an ice cream from the convenience store on the way
It’s O-Bon*, and the temperature’s still 30, it’s a lingering heat, it’s a lingering heat
Happy endings happen only on TV, only on TV
On my occasional days off, getting lunch with friends
Everyone says at once, “Break up!” Should I? YOU SHOULD!
But I’m the one who knows your good points
Who knows them best of all… make no mistake
As if bidding farewell to midsummer
I turn my back on the fireworks dancing in the sky
I thought we had a pinky-promise, and yet
My chest hurts like I’m the one who swallowed the needles**
Give me back my electric fan… but if you don’t, that’s fine too
Because then you’ll have something of mine in your life each day
Keep it always, and in summer, think of me
Continuing into September, and the temperatures’ still 30, it’s a lingering heat, it’s a lingering heat
Unable to meet you, it’s a lingering heat, it’s a lingering heat
Happy endings happen only within you, only within you
