In the warm sunlight after school
Just you and me
Sitting in the corridor, goofing around
I love these times
Don’t say ‘how many days left’
Let’s just enjoy our moments
Will we someday look back
On these days with smiles to?
Perhaps it’s because I’ve been by your side, too often compared to last year
Lately, the more fun it is, the more my heart aches
I feel like I want to understand these feelings more
But for now, just for now
I want to stay like this
Why does this feel so sorrowful inside?
Why do I feel like crying?
You’re my friend, but also something special, yet just a friend
Yeah, because what I know right now is
The orange light tracing the silhouette of you
Is so painfully bright and it burns fiercely
It just won’t let go of me
Skipping class on the emergency stairs, you are sitting two steps above
You speak in a whisper
So I get closer
It’s not intentional
Why am I making excuses?
It’s supposed to be nothing special
The usual route home speaks to me
The April we met, and the September we spent at the school festival
It all comes flooding back
How many more times will we be like this?
But I don’t know, just don’t know
The name of this feeling yet
Because what if I come to realize
If I find the clear answer
Something between us might just change
It’s painful, yet not unpleasant
But it’s painful, yet not unpleasant
So I want, I just want
I want to stay like this
Why does this feel so sorrowful inside?
Why do I feel like crying?
You’re my friend, but also something special, yet just a friend
Yeah, because what I know right now is
The orange light tracing the silhouette of you
Is so painfully bright and it burns fiercely
It just won’t let go of me
For now, just for now
It’s just that for now
