Ano Natsu Ga Houwa Suru

Yesterday, I killed someone
You said that, right?
Soaked to the bone in the rainy season
You were crying in front of the room
Summer had just begun, yet
You were shaking so badly
That's how it all started
The memories of that summer day

The one I killed was from next door
That jerk who always bullied me
I got fed up and shoved him aside
I just hit the wrong spot
I think I can't stay here anymore
I’ll go die somewhere far away
I told you that

Then take me with you

Grab the wallet, grab the knife
Pack the handheld game in the bag
Let’s break everything we don’t need

That photo and that diary
I don’t need them anymore
A murderer and a loser
It’s a journey for you and me

And we ran away
From this cramped, cramped world
Leaving behind family and those who live here
Everything, all of it
Just you and me
To a far, far place where no one is around
Let’s survive together
There’s no victory in this world anymore
Murderers are everywhere

You’re not at fault
You’re not at fault

In the end, we were never loved
By anyone at all
In that miserable common ground
We easily trusted each other
When I held your hand, the faint
Shaking had already disappeared
Without being tied down by anyone
We walked along the tracks

We stole money and ran away together
I felt like we could go anywhere
At this point, there was nothing to fear
We had nothing to be scared of
The sweat on my forehead and my glasses
Now, they don’t matter at all
It’s a journey of the outcasts

Someday, I dreamed of a gentle
Hero who wouldn’t abandon us
Even if we turned dirty
Would they still save us?
If that’s the dream, I’d throw it away
Because look at reality
There’s never been
A four-letter word for happiness
In this life, isn’t that right?
Everyone surely thinks

Wandering aimlessly in a swarm of cicadas
With no water left, the world starts to sway
As the demons close in
We foolishly play around, and suddenly you
Grabbed the knife
I could make it this far because you were by my side
So it’s okay now
It’s okay now
Dying is fine, just me alone

And then you cut your neck
Like a scene from some movie
I felt like I was watching a horror film
Before I knew it, I was caught
You were nowhere to be found
You were the only one missing

And time passed
Just the hot, hot days went by
Even though family and others are here
For some reason, you
Were nowhere to be found
I remember that summer day
I’m still singing now
I’m still searching for you
I have something to tell you

At the end of September, I sneezed
Repeating the scent of June
Your smile, your innocence
Are filling my head
No one is at fault
You’re not at fault
So let’s just let it go

That’s what you wanted to hear, right?
