Ballad







FINAL DISTANCE - Utada Hikaru

Even though I'm worried, I can't ask
I'm tired from swimming to you, you've become distant

I want to be with you, but I can't see you; the waves hold me back
Again, just a little further

In order to keep it going baby, we can't stop
If you don't feel the same, tell me
Even if you see the slightest chance
Then it's alright to celebrate

I wanna be with you now
Together, let's shorten the distance
The time is now
We can start over
I can't be alone
I wanna be with you now
One day even the distance
Will embrace me
We can start sooner
In spite of it all, I wanna be with you

You're hurt this much by one word
You will show me loneliness

When you can't protect yourself, keep on trying baby
It's not like I promised, but trust me
Even if you see the slightest chance
It's ok for me to try to celebrate with you

I wanna be with you now
Together, let's focus on the distance
The time is now
We can start over
I want to show you in words
I wanna be with you now
In time even the distance
Will embrace me
We should stay together
In spite of it all, I wanna be with you


Flavor of Life - Utada Hikaru

When I hear you say, "Thank you"
My heart hurts for some reason
Like a magic spell that doesn't get
Undone even after the break up
The faintly burning pain

The flavor of life,
The flavor of life

Neither friends nor lovers in uncertain terms
The unripened fruit dreams about the day of harvest

Not being able to move forward
Those hands are desperate baby

When I hear you say, "Thank you"
My heart hurts for some reason
Like a magic spell that doesn't get
Undone even after the break up
The faintly burning pain

The flavor of life,
The flavor of life

Words that seduce with sweetness, boring talk
I have no interest in them

Though things aren't going smoothly at the moment
I haven’t given up on my life yet

When asked, "What happened?"
I answer, "Nothing much"
The disappearance of laughter
After a break up isn't like me

Whenever I wish to believe in you as I want
My heart hurts for some reason
Liking something else more than
Something you love isn't like you

(The flavor of life)

When I miss the person who is
Fading away in my memory
I want to be more openly cheerful
About the white snow piling up

The future that is smoother
And warmer than diamond
I want to embrace it even with
The limited time I want to be with you

When I hear you say, "Thank you"
My heart hurts for some reason
Like a magic spell that doesn’t get
Undone even after the break up
The faintly burning pain

The flavor of life,
The flavor of life

The flavor of life.



I love her slow songs. FINAL DISTANCE has a short story behind it, which you can read here, if you're interested.
