When I open my eyes again today,
I hear the cries of cicadas and your sleeping breath.
There’s no way this relationship could go on forever, could it?
But at least until summer ends…
I’m sure you’re probably thinking the same thing,
Here inside this damp and gloomy room.
I want to always be here.
But I can’t do that, can I?
So, right now,
I’ll wave goodbye to my summer lover. I’ll be the one to say goodbye.
Even if the seasons revolve and summer comes yet again,
The two of us probably won’t be found there.
I’m sure I’ll be the one who cries, but I’ll be the one to say goodbye.
I’m so hopeless.
I stop by a run-down convenience store, using nothing but small change to buy ice cream bars.
You always buy the cheapest sherbet they have.
At a park, children on summer break are playing. I watch them for a while,
But continue back to that damp and gloomy room.
I really don’t want to become an adult…
I want to always be a kid.
But I can’t do that, can I?
So, right now…
I can hear another voice within me, trying to stop me.
“Can’t things just stay like this?
You could stay trapped within this summer
And never be an adult for the rest of your life!”
I’ll wave goodbye to my summer lover. I’ll be the one to say goodbye.
We’re so happy together, but if things stay like this,
I’m sure you and I would just get stuck here.
I’m sure I’ll be the one who cries, but I’ll say goodbye.
I’m so hopeless.
