The excessive heat woke me up from the dream that I was having...
Because I was put on the Tozai line, they wouldn’t let me off at Shinjuku
I couldn’t find my way
My arms and hair and neck
Were getting drenched in that lukewarm rain that you hate
The things that pour down upon you – maybe rain, maybe fate
Surely you don’t expect that I’ll just leave it at that
I’ll be certain to protect you myself
So keep me near you
Every day, just when the whether forecast ends up wrong, we’re shown the darkness of the lie
The arousal and the excitement and the gasping – it’s getting exhausted and it looks like it’s going to run out
I don’t want to summon it
The smell of the empty dirt or the hollyhock
Or the day that comes toward us even now, changing into a fragrant picture
Devoting myself completely to knowing you – maybe practical, maybe impractical
It’s not like the day will ever come that I’m satisfied
As long as my body lives
So keep me near you
To leave myself in your hands – maybe dangerous, maybe safe
It’s not like there’s supposed to be something to fasten it with
I’ll just give it all to you without regret
The things that pour down upon you – maybe rain, maybe fate
Surely you don’t expect that I’ll just leave it at that
I’ll be certain to protect you myself
So keep me...
So keep me near you
