Mother's Car

Lyrics: Hitomi Takahashi
Composition & Arrangement: Satoru Hiraide

5 o'clock on Saturday, I spotted you, yeah, beyond my line of sight
At our usual convenience store, you were hand-in-hand, yeah, together with that girl

Just like the colors disappear from the familiar scenery
my feelings, having lost a place to go, grow blurry

I wanted to love you just a bit longer, but
all the doubting and expecting wears me out
I want to ask you, but I don't want to
I just want to forget
before I start loving you more than I already do

Since I was small, the inside of my mother's car has been my hiding place
Unable to stop the finger erasing my phone's memory, I let out a single sigh
Somehow I thought I understood it myself
that things don't always go well

I can't seem to hide my shattering feelings
If you get close, you'll understand, right? I don't want to leave
I want to see you, but I don't want to
I just want to forget
before I start loving you more than I already do

The night advances on as usual
and the convenience store is so terribly bright

Things can't go back to how they were before, hey

I wanted to love you just a bit longer, but
all the doubting and expecting wears me out
I want to know, but I don't want to
I just want to forget right now

I can't seem to hide my shattering feelings
If you get close, you'll understand, right? I don't want to leave
I want to see you, but I don't want to
I just want to forget - I'll be all right, I just want a little time
until the time comes when I can love again

Doyoubi no goji shisen no mukou sou kimi wo mitsuketa
Itsumo no konbini te wo tsunagiatte sou ano ko to futari

Minareta keshiki kara iro ga kiete iku you ni
Kasunde iku ikiba nakushita omoi

Mou sukoshi dake demo suki de itakatta kedo
Utagattari kitai shitari tsukarechau yo
Kikitai kikitakunai
Tada wasuretai yo kore ijou
Motto suki ni natte shimau mae ni

Chiisa na koro kara kakurega ni shiteta mama no kuruma no naka
Keitai no memorii kesu yubi tomerarezu tameiki hitotsu
Nantonaku jibun demo wakatteta tsumori nano
Umaku iku koto bakari ja nai to

Chigiresou na omoi kakusesou nimo nakute
Chikazukeba wakaru desho? Hanaretakunai
Aitai aitakunai
Tada wasuretai yo kore ijou
Motto suki ni natte shimau mae ni

Itsumo no you ni yoru wa fukete
Akireru hodo konbini ga mabushikute

Motodoori niwa modorenai kara nee

Mou sukoshi dake demo suki de itakatta kedo
Utagattari kitai shitari tsukarechau yo
Shiritai shiritaku mo nai
Tada wasuretai yo imasugu ni demo

Chigiresou na omoi kakusesou nimo nakute
Chikazukeba wakaru desho? Hanaretakunai
Aitai aitakunai
Tada wasuretai daijoubu sukoshi jikan ga hoshii dake
Mata aiseru you ni nareru toki made
