Orange/オレンジ
To the fact that I could laugh in a world where you lived,
To the fact that our future you couldn’t forgive,
Every little piece of you, from your warmth and attitude to all your love...
Where the rusted tracks of red and blue ocean coincide,
We knew we’d never be happy, so the two of us lied
You with your gloomy face, our hands in place, the two of us paced
As the distant island’s glow arose
I’m sorry that I couldn’t love you enough,
And that your tears with synchronize with I who couldn’t act tough,
Still, there was no one, no, no one who’d ever replace
You and how you always forgave
If tomorrow never comes, I think it’d be okay with me
To forever, forever, keep that destiny buried
Even now I seek the thing to reach your ears when words alone won’t do
So smiling I can ask to you:
“Tell me, are you well these days? Your smile hasn’t withered yet, I pray.
Say, have you found the strength I haven’t yet to just forget and love somebody new?”
Since I knew
We would never meet again, so instead I’ve chosen for that yearning to be
Under lock and key
Where the sturdy yellow bricks and green ivy intertwine,
The birds would sing along to church hymns on Crescent Moon Isle
And just as lovers do, before the pews, we’ll make a vow too
Childishly wrapped pinkies, we’ll swear to leave
We had more than anger towards the future foreseen,
So I’ll try preparing the stage for a happy ending
But really, me? I couldn’t see any sort of dream.
You didn’t share my nightmares...
Yes, forgiving and forgetting is surely what you’d expect
And we’d never, we’d never, let anybody else change that
Still, my greatest fear would be to hear the tears you shed were for my sake
Living alone made my heart break
“Tell me, does it cross your mind to press rewind and visit when we met?”
Comparing past to present, the weakling who lied, clinging, before me’s washed away
In a way
The morning glow has you show up as once again the person you were back then
You’re as perfect as I remembered
Carrying a love that no one could conquer,
we sang of passion and left the earth
That kind of ending everyone calls the worst,
is not complete defeat, you’ll find
Years will come and they’ll go, you might be alone,
but if you hear a voice ringing, then follow it’s echoing
And come to see me one last time
I never stopped loving you. I never will, no matter what my form
But even so, it seems I’m shouldering that last duty to say these words no more
I won’t mourn
Even if I’m not with you, show a smile for someone new (ooh...)
To the fact that I could laugh in a world where you lived,
To the fact that our future you couldn’t forgive,
Every little piece of you, from your warmth and attitude to all your love...
I’ll say goodbye.
