東京タワー (Toukyou tawaa) – Tokyo Tower

from Sora no ki album.

—–

You said that I was Number 1
But as spring rushes by us
Your gaze shifted elsewhere
To that stimulating one

I should have made you ashamed
Maybe I should have designed a trap for you
From the watchtower, I witnessed
The moment love shifted

I understand
That expression on your face
You’re waiting for the opportunity
For a sign of temptation

Why
Did you choose someone whom I can see?
Is it ok to pretend to not know anything and wait for you?
Tell me
Was the forever you wished for a lie?
My plans remain blank pieces of paper
Tokyo melancholy

Exposing old wounds
As if exchanging in brand new furniture
You’re swapping me out
Even the place where I belong

I’ve always known
Even as you said “thank you” with a smile
That you were beginning to tire
Of the plan I had chosen

That’s right
I’m imperfect, I’ll never reach his standard
I cannot even speak one piece of good news
Even now
I continue counting the swelling buds
Of your laughter alone
Tokyo melancholy

Stretching out my hand and there you are
Smiling right beside him
This reality that I cannot accept
Keeps me
Rooted to the spot

Why
Why
Did you choose someone whom I can see?
Is it ok to pretend to not know anything and wait for you?
Tell me
Was the forever you wished for a lie?
My plans remain blank pieces of paper
Tokyo melancholy
That’s right
I’m imperfect, I’ll never reach his standard
I cannot even let you dream of tomorrow
Even now
I continue counting the swelling buds
Of your laughter alone
Tokyo melancholy

KANJI

僕を一番だと言ってた
春が勇み足で過ぎてゆく
君は目移りをしたんだね
刺激的なあいつに

もっと辱めるようにさ
罠を仕掛ければ良かったかな
物見櫓で見てしまった
恋が動く瞬間

僕には分かるよ
君がそんな顔をするのは
つけいる隙与えて
誘惑する合図

どうして
僕の目の届くあいつを選んだの
知らないふりして君を待てばいいの
答えて
君が欲しがった永遠は嘘なの
僕の予定は白紙のまま
東京メランコリー

古くなって傷みだした
家具を新調するかのように
君は取り替えてゆくんだね
僕の居場所でさえも

ずっと気付いていた
「ありがとう」って微笑んでも
僕の選ぶプランに
飽きはじめてた事

そうさ
僕には至らない ヤツまで届かない
愉快なニュースも 何ひとつ言えない
今も
君が笑うたび膨らんだ蕾を
ひとり僕は数え続ける
東京メランコリー

手を伸ばせばすぐそこで
君はほほえんでいる
飲み込めない現実に
僕は
立ち尽くしてる

どうして
どうして
僕の目の届くあいつを選んだの
知らないふりして君を待てばいいの
答えて
君が欲しがった永遠は嘘なの
僕の予定は白紙のまま
東京メランコリー
そうさ
僕には至らない ヤツまで届かない
夢見る明日さえ 運んであげれない
今も
君が笑うたび膨らんだ蕾を
ひとり僕は数え続ける
東京メランコリー
