心のプラカード (Kokoro no purakaado) – Heart’s placard
from Kokoro no placard single.
——
Look here
Just for a moment
Please notice
My existence
Look here
Just for 5 seconds
Please see me
Standing so nearby
But really
Even when our eyes meet
I can only look away in a hurry
Unable to speak
Heart’s placard
If you can see it
You’ll understand
My feelings, but…
“I like you”
If I can write that down
Even with a racing heart
And nervous sweating
I’ll be able to confess
Give me a chance
Just one will do
I pray alone
As I wait
Give me a chance
Even an unexpected one will do
Please turn
Towards me
“Pluck up your courage
And call out to her”
Everyone tells me to just do it
But I can’t
Heart’s placard
From my mouth to my hands
I feel the load
Taken off my chest
“I like you”
If I can let you know
Even without a reply
Even if you look undecided
I’ll be happy
Everyone
Somewhere in their hearts
Have hidden away
Precious words
Heart’s placard
If you can see it
You’ll understand
My feelings, but…
“I like you”
If I can write that down
Even with a racing heart
And nervous sweating
I’ll be able to confess
Heart’s placard
Hey, I’ll put it out
My thoughts
In all honesty…
If I can’t say it
I’ll just write it down
What I want to tell you
What I want to say
Please notice my placard
