On nights I can’t see you anymore,
Swaying to and fro on a train heading the opposite direction,
I just can’t play it cool!
I don’t want the clock to strike 12 without you here!

Resting my forehead on a nearly torn fence,
I’m protecting this pride I can’t seem to abandon.
I don’t want to let the rules hold me back!
More so than words, I want time spent locking eyes with you!

I want to hold you right now!
I’ll cross this concourse separating us,
And until you can hardly breathe,
I’m not gonna let go! I’m not gonna let go!

In the palm of my hand, I rolled up my newspaper,
Grasping my bankbook with a little change to spare.
I’m okay with keeping up this ruse—I mustn’t be forceful!
I alone… am pursuing you, and you alone!

I love your eyes when you’re on the verge of tears!
I love your gestures when you don’t know what to say!
But on this night, with so much undecided,
Seeing you about to be swept away is simply out of this world!

I want to hold you right now!
To feel the width of your shoulders… and your passion!
Amid the hustle of this day and age,
I want only you… only you…!

Just as your hair was about to grace your ears, it flew wildly;
Proceeding against the wind, you run to me!
My love and severity shall not be tested
I don’t want to lose these feelings in my heart!

I want to hold you right now!
I’ll cross this concourse separating us,
And until you can hardly breathe,
I’m not gonna let go! I’m not gonna let go!

I want to hold you right now!
To feel the width of your shoulders… and your passion!
Amid the hustle of this day and age,
I want only you… only you…

I’m not gonna let go! I’m not gonna let go!
