Utada Hikaru - "Manatsu no Tooriame"

Quote:
Waking in the middle of a dream
Even if I shut my eyelids, I can't return
That world, vivid until a moment ago... just an illusion
Softly embracing myself, damp with sweat
You carved, deep into me, so many firsts
Whenever I stretch my hand out to the swaying, new leaves
And my thoughts rush to you
How soon will it be before I cease being sad?
I want you to tell me
Today I'm not alone
And I'm happy, at least in that way
I'm telling myself to say, “I'm fine like this,” though
Breath ragged from an unwinnable war
The days when I was consumed with love for you
If I forget, then I'll cease to be me
Teach me of the proper way to say farewell
Whenever I stretch my hand out to someone
And my thoughts rush to you
Right now, there are so many things I want to ask you
They overflow, they overflow
The trees sprout, the days and months turn
I want to convey my unchanging feeling
That we have the freedom to become free
Standing frozen still—the shadows of those who come to see us off
All of a sudden, those recollections
Seize me in their hands, and won't let go
I love you, now ever more deeply
In an endlessly raining midsummer shower
Waking in the middle of a dream
Even if I shut my eyelids, I can't return
To the future that, until a moment ago, had you in it
Looking for you... into tomorrow
To these rains that will never end, never end
This thirst that that will never be soothed, never be soothed
