Words That I Could Say to You

(album: American Saikoro - 2018)

[Romanized:]

I found myself here again
Guess I gotta tangle with the fear again
Low-light Shibuya night's my favorite time
"Nice to meet you," "Nice to see you"
Hātobīto ga kure ma sai
Hajimemashitena on'nanoko hisashiburi
Mecha hanashitaidakedo zenzen muryō, y'know
You ain't gotta worry, betcha don't anyway
Gotta say, fighting for attention ain't my forte
But it's none of your concern
That I can't just buckle down and learn
When you turn my way, nothing to say but "o tsukare"
You're already on to the next girl that's just away
Get it everyday, it doesn't get me down
I get a little bit indignant from what I found
I get to settle with the sound of something so profound
'Til then, see ya around when I'm in Tokyo Town again

Told myself that when it comes to "you and me"
I don't see potential for no happy ending
Kinishinaide kotoba iwanai Tonight baby
Demo riaru ni hanashitai、I'm still wondering
Out of all the words that I could say to you
Maybe you would understand all the ones that matter
I'd much rather lie and tell myself if I knew
Then maybe you could be, we could be...
I'll get over it tomorrow

No doubt, I'm allowed to be a little pessimistic
Working 'til I pass out, hash out another escape
But am I really gonna risk it?
All because I miss you; I don't intend to fix it
I'm grinding, but what if it's a waste of time for me?
Imagine that I climb that mountain and the summit is empty
It always ends over and over again, I swear
Plummeting back to hell and it just ain't fair
Every girl over there screaming about you
I'm still in America dreaming about you
Without you I'm doubting myself
When you're clouding my mind
Even so, mada chanto attenai
Shiranai anata no kage o tsudzukeru yo
Chasing a shadow of someone I don't know
But someday I'll grow up finally
And say it in my own voice: "No choice, honestly"

Told myself that when it comes to "you and me"
I don't see potential for no happy ending
Kinishinaide kotoba iwanai Tonight baby
Demo riaru ni hanashitai、I'm still wondering
Out of all the words that I could say to you
Maybe you would understand all the ones that matter
I'd much rather lie and tell myself if I knew
Then maybe you could be, we could be...
I'll get over it tomorrow

Told myself there never was a "you and me"
I don't see a reason for a happy ending
Kinishinaide kotoba iwanai Tonight baby
Demo anata ni hanashitai，I'm still wondering
Out of all the words that I could say to you
Maybe you would understand all the ones that matter
I'd much rather lie and think if I was like you
Then maybe I could be
We could be...
We could be, we could be...
Together

"Nice to meet you," "Nice to see you"
ハートビートがくれまさい
初めましてな女の子久しぶり
めちゃ話したいだけど全然無料, y'know
You ain't gotta worry, betcha don't anyway
Gotta say, fighting for attention ain't my forte
But it's none of your concern
That I can't just buckle down and learn
When you turn my way, nothing to say but "おつかれ"
You're already on to the next girl that's just away
Get it everyday, it doesn't get me down
I get a little bit indignant from what I found
I get to settle with the sound of something so profound
'Til then, see ya around when I'm in Tokyo Town again

Told myself that when it comes to "you and me"
I don't see potential for no happy ending
気にしないで言葉言わない Tonight baby
でもリアルに話したい、I'm still wondering
Out of all the words that I could say to you
Maybe you would understand all the ones that matter
I'd much rather lie and tell myself if I knew
Then maybe you could be, we could be...
I'll get over it tomorrow

No doubt, I'm allowed to be a little pessimistic
Working 'til I pass out, hash out another escape
But am I really gonna risk it?
All because I miss you; I don't intend to fix it

Plummeting back to hell and it just ain't fair
Every girl over there screaming about you
I'm still in America dreaming about you
Without you I'm doubting myself
When you're clouding my mind
Even so, まだちゃんとあってない
知らないあなたの影を続けるよ
Chasing a shadow of someone I don't know
But someday I'll grow up finally
And say it in my own voice: "No choice, honestly"

Told myself that when it comes to "you and me"
I don't see potential for no happy ending
気にしないで言葉言わない Tonight baby
でもリアルに話したい、I'm still wondering

気にしないで言葉言わない Tonight baby
でもあなたに話したい，I'm still wondering
Out of all the words that I could say to you
Maybe you would understand all the ones that matter
I'd much rather lie and think if I was like you
Then maybe I could be
We could be...
We could be, we could be...
