Monday Tuesday Wednesday, thinking of youThursday Friday Saturday, always
Are you doing well?
Before I noticed, it’s summer again.
Ever since you left here,
the shape of the town has changed.
The family restaurants have folded,
ushering in a convenience store takeover.
Everyone’s condensed in places now.
Parks, too, are gradually nowhere to be found.
Ah, speaking of that, have you received
the info for the class reunion?
You say you can't get presentable, but
you ought to show up once in a while.
Or rather... come home soon.
Have you been doing well?
I guess you still remain in our hometown.
In between the buildings, softly,
the summer wind blows through.
Monday Tuesday Wednesday, thinking of you oh oh oh oh
Thursday Friday Saturday, always oh oh oh oh
Sunday, orbit round and return once more oh oh oh oh
Forever, no matter the time, feel free to return.
Always be your home.
In the end, even that fellow left town.
Before I registered it, my number of friends had steadily dropped.
Furthermore, about my age increasing...
That time in senior high school,
lying sprawled on the breakwater:
under cold weather, didn’t we search for shooting stars?
The next day, I caught a cold, remember? Lol.
This is completely off-topic, but that guy who left town -
he should be in the same district as you.
I know you’ll say there’s no reason to meet up.
Well, at any rate, everyone's raring to meet up again.
Or rather… I want to see you.
I did bump into that guy.
Though the world is so wide, isn’t it strange?
In this district that doesn’t go to sleep at night,
I can’t find a single shooting star.
There must be times you feel like crying out,
and things that make you want to run away.
The evening sun sinking into the sea, the surfers on the waves.
The train doors cracking open,
the wind that blows… welcome home.
