FINAL DISTANCE

Shino: It's FINAL DISTANCE by 宇多田ヒカル/Utada Hikaru on her DEEP RIVER album. LOVE this song. Music video rocks too. It goes so well with what the song is saying! Here's the music video:

FINAL DISTANCE

I love Utada Hikaru so I'll eventually put up some of her other songs too. Here's the lyrics in Japanese and translated. Some of you probably won't be able to see the Japanese lyrics though. :P

気になるのに聞けない
(I wonder but I can't ask you)
泳ぎつかれて君まで無口になる
(Tired of swimming, even you become silent)

会いたいのに見えない
(I want to meet but I can't see you)
波に押されてまた少し遠くなる
(Pushed by the waves, again we get a little further)

途切れないように　Keep it going, baby
(To keep it from tearing, keep it going baby)
同じ気持ちじゃないなら　tell me
(If you don't feel the same then, tell me)
無理はしない主義でも
(Even if I don't usually take risks)
少しならしてみてもいいよ
(If it's just a little then I guess I can try)

I wanna be with you now
二人でdistance縮めて
(The both of us shrink the distance)
今なら間に合うから
(We can still make it now)
We can start over
ひとつにはなれない
(We cannot become one)
I wanna be with you now
いつの日かdistanceも
(Some day)
抱きしめられるようになれるよ
(We'll be able to embrace the distance)
We can start sooner
やっぱり　I wanna be with you
(I knew it, I wanna be with you)

ひとことでこんなにも傷つく君は
(You who gets hurt this much from one word)
孤独を教えてくれる
(Taught me the meaning of loneliness)

守れない時　Keep on trying, baby
(When you can't protect it, keep on trying baby)
約束通りじゃないけど　trust me
(It isn't as I promised but, trust me)
無理はしない主義でも
(Even if I don't usually take risks)
君とならしてみてもいいよ
(If it's with you then I guess I can try)

I wanna be with you now
二人でdistance見つめて
(The both of us stare at the distance)
今なら間に合うから
(We can still make it now)
We can start over
言葉で伝えたい
(I want to tell you with words)
I wanna be with you now
そのうちにdistanceも
(One day)
抱きしめられるようになれるよ
(We'll be able to embrace the distance)
We should stay together
やっぱり　I wanna be with you
(I knew it, I wanna be with you)
