Friends with Obukuro Nariaki

Lyrics, Composition, & Arrangement: Utada Hikaru

I'm close enough that I can see your smile
I'm fine with just that
It's not strange for friends to be by each other's side
I'm staring at that guy touching you
What should I do at these late hours
when my unrequited feelings just grow stronger?

With you pretending not to notice
and your halfhearted kindness, I want to cry

Oh, we can't be friends, can't be friends, oh
Oh, because I can't help but want to touch you, oh
Oh, we can't be friends, can't be friends, oh
Because there's no point if I'm not your number one, oh

If I could just reveal my inner heart, no, that's impossible
I can lie so very well, yet my heart's honest to a fault

I want to kiss you, because hugs aren't enough
Let me have one kiss. As I thought...

Oh, we can't be friends, can't be friends, oh
Oh, because I can't help but want to touch you right now, oh
Oh, we can't be friends, can't be friends, oh
Because I can't live anymore if you hated me, oh

I should take these embarrassing delusions
and impossible dreams to my grave

Oh, we can't be friends, can't be friends, oh
Oh, because I can't help but want to touch you, oh
Oh, we can't be friends, can't be friends, oh
Because there's no point if I'm not your number one, oh

Tomodachi with Obukuro Nariaki

Sakushi, Sakkyoku, & Henkyoku: Utada Hikaru

Egao mireru kyori ni ireru
Sore dake de ii
Tomodachi nara soba ni itemo okashikunai
Kimi ni fureru aitsu miteru
Mukuwarenai omoi bakari ga tsunoru yofuke wa
Doushitara ii?

Kidzukanai FURI toka
Chuutohanpa yasashisa ni nakitai

Oh tomodachi niwa narenai na niwa narenai na Oh
Oh naze naraba sawaritakute shikata nai kara Oh
Oh tomodachi niwa narenai na niwa narenai na Oh
Mou kimi no ichiban ja nai to imi ga nai kara Oh

Mune no uchi wo akaseta nara iya sore wa muri
Totemo jouzu ni uso tsukeru noni kokoro wa bakashoujiki

KISU shitai HAGU toka iranai kara
Let me have one kiss yappari...

Oh tomodachi niwa narenai na niwa narenai na Oh
Oh imasugu ni sawaritakute shikata nai kara Oh
Oh tomodachi niwa narenai na niwa narenai na Oh
Mou kimi ni kirawaretara ikite ikenai kara Oh

Hazukashii mousou ya mihatenu yume wa
Motte ikeba ii hakaba ni

Oh tomodachi niwa narenai na niwa narenai na Oh
Oh naze naraba sawaritakute shikata nai kara Oh
Oh tomodachi niwa narenai na niwa narenai na Oh
Mou kimi no ichiban ja nai to imi ga nai kara Oh
