1.We can’t go back anymore, the two of us,
2.Still unable to love anyone else but you.3.
4.With the eraser in my mind,
5.So you wouldn’t just vanish,
6.I tried to swallow down each frame, every memory.7.
8.Back when the rotary at the station
9.Was still a gathering place,
10.We’d hold hands tightly, still in our loungewear,
11.Just the two of us.12.
13.We can’t go back anymore, the two of us,
14.Still unable to love anyone else but you.
15.This tangled, seamless thread of time
16.Wraps around me, clinging tight,
17.And won’t let me rest.18.
19.I want you back.20.
21.Even you, who hated summer,
22.Smiled as you looked at the ocean,
23.Pretending it was a bother,
24.But throwing me a peace sign.25.
26.I was captivated by your gentle, soft smile,
27.Like a warm patch of sunlight,
28.And those sudden, playful glances you’d give.29.
30.We can’t go back anymore, the two of us,
31.Still unable to love anyone else but you.
32.This tangled, seamless thread of time
33.Wraps around me, clinging tight,
34.And won’t let me rest.35.
36.I want you back.37.
38.We used to imitate lines from the TV,
39.Sniff each other’s hair,
40.Record our “itadakimasu” moments on video,
41.But now you’re blurred with tears, drifting farther away.42.
43.We can’t go back anymore, the two of us,
44.Still unable to love anyone else but you.45.
46.I want you back.47.
48.This tangled thread of time
49.Wraps around me tightly.
