Against the grain, I reach the obvious response
I’m embraced by the wound I should have cheated
I ask for answers I hold on tightly to
The words I heard occurred
Again and again and again
Same old place, same old mind
No matter how many summers I see
There is only one season for me
Ah, what should I do
How can I keep myself from you
Hey, what to do, what’s the way to
Sing yesterday with a smile
A stale rain has begun to fall
I fake the words I cannot hide
The watery days that have bled
Soaks into a dry dream
Turns me back again and again
Same old place, same old mind
No matter how many spring-times I see
I, myself, I cannot say
Ah, what should I do
How can I keep myself from you
Hey, what to do, what’s the way to
Sing yesterday with a smile
It’s now spring, cherry blossoms in full bloom
The day is coming when I won’t see you
Is that enough for you?
So many times, I protest
Over and over again
Though I paint the days thousands of ways
Tomorrow simply never comes
How can I conceal my “heart”
From what you see in me
Hey, what should I do
Hey, what is the way to
Sing yesterday with a smile again
Ah, what should I do
How can I keep myself from you
Hey, what to do, what’s the way to
Sing yesterday with a smile
When you turn me down the way you do
