1.A narrow path by the tracks
2.As I walked alone
3.For some reason, suddenly
4.I remembered you
5.That railroad crossing
6.With a slow, clanging descent of the barriers
7.Urging me to decide—
8.Was just seeing you in class enough…?9.
10.A green train passed by
11.And at last, my feelings
12.Which I had pushed aside
13.Became clear
14.Emotions are honest
15.Trying to convey this affection16.
17.My sympathetic nerves are dominant
18.I’m overflowing with determination
19.My whole body pulses with passion
20.Pressing the accelerator of my heart
21.With my heartbeat only rising higher
22.Right now, I love you23.
24.Like the wind, the familiar rapid train speeds by
25.In an instant, does reality just disappear?
26.On the tracks
27.The metal wheels roar and turn
28.Something creaks—
29.The weight of the ordinary
30.Feels like it’s about to break, and I feel uneasy31.
32.On the way home, for some reason, I felt down
33.Today, I wanted to finally gather my courage and say it—
34.But my timing was off again
35.So I kept making excuses and watching you go36.
37.If my parasympathetic nerves took over
38.Maybe I’d sleep better
39.If I just confessed, I’d probably feel more at ease
40.I need to hit the brakes on my heart
41.Take a deep breath and rest
42.Love is just like breathing at your own pace43.
44.People can’t control
45.Their emotions
46.And maybe
47.That’s what makes us human
48.So I should listen properly
49.To what my body is telling me
50.Ah, my feelings for you keep growing stronger
51.Someday, I want to tell you
52.But for now…53.
54.My sympathetic nerves are dominant
55.I’m overflowing with determination
56.My whole body pulses with passion
57.Pressing the accelerator of my heart
58.With my heartbeat only rising higher
59.Right now, I love you60.
61.You and I should think it over—
62.The balance…
63.Which one of us
64.Which of our nervous systems is in control?
