Midsummer Shower

Lyrics, Composition, & Arrangement: Hikaru Utada

In the midst of a dream, I awoke
and couldn't go back though I closed my eyes
The world that was so clear until a moment ago is now an illusion

Softly drawing sweaty me close
we deeply etched so many firsts in my mind

I wonder when I won't be sad
when I stretch my hands to the swaying new leaves
and my thoughts rush to you...
Please tell me

Today I'm not alone
That in itself makes me happy
but though I'm persuading myself I'm fine with that...

Out of breath in a battle I can't win
if I forget the days when I burned with love
for you, I won't be me
Tell me the correct way to say farewell

When I stretch my hands out to someone
and my thoughts rush to you
today the things I want to ask you are so numerous
and they overflow, overflow

The trees bud, time goes round
I want to tell you my unchanging feelings
There's a freedom to be free
The shadows of those at send off stand stock still

Memories suddenly violently
grasp me and won't let go
I love you and so deeply
A midsummer shower won't stop falling

In the midst of a dream, I awoke
and couldn't go back though I closed my eyes
You were in my future until a while ago
Visiting upon tomorrow

In the rain that'll never stop, never stop
my thirst won't ever be quenched, won't ever be quenched
