The vending machine sheds light on the side of your face
You stretched out and said you had to go now
With Converse tied tight on your feet
Somehow you looked so mature

The same lonely and languid way home
Never looked this bright

The edge of the lake we walked side by side
The scent of the deodorant caressed by the summer breeze
I confessed my feelings and you nodded
Like a mirage that may vanish any time

“When can we meet next?” over the phone
Now even this dim room is too dazzling to sleep in

Ah may you feel the same way right now
That you may notice the sweaty palm of my hand
Ah please don’t vanish like the fireworks fading into the sky
Tell me that this heart-scorching pain is not a summer illusion

I was scared with the thought
That you may notice the sweaty palm of my hand
My empty left hand; my wish hovering in the air
The lukewarm heat of the asphalt; the melted sweet perfume

Just the four letters on the screen
Shakes my heart stronger than any novel

Ah may you feel the same way right now
The sultry night passes by with the rickety pounding of my heart
Ah please don’t vanish like the fireworks fading into the sky
Tell me that this heart-scorching pain is not a summer illusion

My body still flushing from the lingering afterheat
The emotions you gave me makes me thirsty
The light scent of the night blowing in from outside the window

From now on, every time this season comes around
I will probably recall this night and the loving feeling burned into me
Ah please don’t vanish like the fireworks fading into the sky
Tell me that this heart-scorching pain is not a summer illusion

自販機の明かりに　照らされた横顔
もう帰らなきゃって　背伸びした君の
足元　固く結んだコンバース
どうしてか　やけに大人っぽく見えた

いつもの一人の　気怠い帰り道が
見たこともないくらい　輝いて映った

並んで歩いた　湖のほとり
夏の風が撫でた　制汗剤の匂い
想いを伝えた僕に　頷いた君は
今にも消えてしまいそうな　蜃気楼みたいで

電話越しの　次はいつ会える
薄暗いこの部屋さえも　眩しくて眠れない

あぁ　君が今どうか　同じ想いでいて
壊れそうな高鳴りに　蒸し暑い夜が更ける
あぁ　消えないで　空に溶けていく花火のように
この胸を焦がす痛みは　夏の幻じゃないと言って

汗ばんだ　僕の手のひらが君に
気づかれてしまうことが怖くて
握れない左手　宙を舞う願い
微熱のアスファルト　溶けた甘い匂い

画面に映る　たった4文字が
どんな小説よりも　心を揺らすんだ

あぁ　君が今どうか　同じ想いでいて
壊れそうな高鳴りに　蒸し暑い夜が更ける
あぁ　消えないで　空に溶けていく花火のように
この胸を焦がす痛みは　夏の幻じゃないと言って

消えない余熱に　火照る身体
君がくれた感情は　喉が乾く
窓の外から吹き抜けた　淡い夜の匂い

この先僕はきっと　この季節が巡る度に
思い出す　この夜と焼き付いた恋の想い
あぁ 消えないで　空に溶けていく花火のように
この胸を焦がす痛みは　夏の幻じゃないと言って
