in the morning when I wake I get a melancholy feeling but I take a shower and forget I pass the time choose a necktie an everyday guy in the mirror from the office I make a call to her why am I able to say goodbye to you? the night makes us sad but probably, come 2 o'clock we'll forget let's drive to distant heaven distant heaven terribly distant heaven |
|
* Note: the lyric sheet shows "U2" for the second line. In Japanese, this is pronounced the same as "yuutsuu," meaning "melancholy." I chose this interpretation based on how often P5 uses "yuutsuu" in their lyrics. I can't say what double meaning there might be. | |

i love you we two always dream a different dream even though they sleep arm in arm in the same bed do you remember the time we had a big, loud fight in the kitchen late at night? what happened after that? did we just make up, only that? what do we do from here? if we kiss will it all be better? we two will always take life as a game tell me you love me right now, you can lie do you remember the time we kissed the night away under Tokyo Tower? what will we do on the weekend? will we just watch TV together? what do we do from here? if we make love will it all be better? though the TV is on we two are always so bored we could die even though we're in love what do we do from here? if we make love will it all be better? really, what will we do? just watch TV forever? |

a', from behind the shadow of long hair tells an everyday lie they pry out each other's secrets a false pose, a false rule romance is camouflage a pose of love, a rule of love up until evening, I knew nothing this pretty swedish girl when I saw her vague expression surface, I noticed the agent behind her however, it was too late I knew too much a', wearing a red dress runs along the highway of betrayal the two are puzzled by each other's conclusion a false pose, a false rule now let's just kiss |
|
* Note: the lyric sheet shows A', which is pronounced "A-dash." This is presumably the code name of a female secret agent or something like that. | |

on the satellite TV broadcast a girl from some city is smiling --very happy! on the midnight satellite broadcast the king of some country is shot --I can't believe it! by any chance can you see me too? if you are watching me smile for me I'm waving my hand try singing with simultaneous translation good morning, good day what you are, what you like goodbye, thank you, sakitsumi what you are, what you like ahaha on the afternoon satellite broadcast a flag is erected on some distant star --I can't believe it! by any chance can you see me too? if you are watching me smile for me I'm waving my hand you look tired I'm the same I'm so happy that we met love is here with simultaneous translation good morning, good day what you are, what you like goodbye, thank you, sakitsumi what you are, what you like ahaha |
|
* Note: the ending part of the song is probably meant to imitate a foreigner speaking poor Japanese, which fits the "simultaneous translation" theme. I'm not sure what "sakitsumi" means..."sock it to me?" | |
