Please meet me on the rooftop When the final bell has rung There is something I have carried But I cannot trust my tongue 放課後、屋上に来て ひとりで待っていてください (Come to the rooftop after class And please wait there alone) I watch the clock and picture Cherry blossoms in your hair You smile and step much closer Like you always wanted me there I wrote the words last night Then tore the page in two So I wrote them all again And sealed them up for you 時計の針が進むたび 胸の音だけ大きくなる (With every movement of the clock hands The sound of my heartbeat grows louder) Maybe you will take my hand Maybe I will look away Maybe neither one of us Will know the proper thing to say I waited by the railing Practicing your name Every perfect sentence Vanished when you came 夕焼けが髪を染めて 桜が肩に落ちてくる (The sunset colors your hair Cherry blossoms fall onto your shoulders) The rooftop door swung open My heartbeat ran ahead I held the pink envelope And quietly said: 笑わないって約束して これを受け取ってください (Promise me you won’t laugh Please accept this) Please open it, Senpai And tell me what you think There’s no letter. This is a gun... I knew you would come. Ten seconds. Nine. Eight. Run. Down the fire escape Over the rail You cleared three floors Without touching the stairs I gave you ten seconds You needed six The first shot split the sign Above your head You took the alley I took the roof You crossed the traffic Without losing your shoes You stole a motorcycle And tore around the bend The way you hit that corner Made me want this chase to never end 逃げる背中を見つめながら もっと速くと願ってる (Watching your back as you run I find myself wishing you would go faster) I never wanted you bleeding I wanted you hard to catch Each time you vanish from my sight I want you more than that Left turn Wrong street Through the diner Over the seats Back door Chain fence You looked back. You smiled. You made me miss. Again. At this distance You should not make me miss. すごい (Amazing) Make me earn it! Kick out the lights! Change your direction! Don’t let me learn The way that you move! Run like you mean Every step! The footsteps stopped behind me The warehouse became still I followed your shadow Until it vanished from the wall 初めて君を見失って 胸がもっと熱くなる (For the first time, I lose sight of you And my heart burns even hotter) Then cold metal touched my shoulder And your breath reached my ear Caught you. A pink envelope waited On the surface of my desk The handwriting was yours The message said: 机の上にピンクの手紙 昨日と同じ色でした (On my desk was a pink letter The same color as yesterday) "Same rooftop after class. This time, you run." もちろん (Of course)
