Houkago Blues

Oleh : Tomohisa Yamashita

I'd always slip out of boring classes
To smoke and sigh behind the back of the school
After school I always fought
Trying to ascertain my own existence

All I thought about was for today to be over quickly
Walking along without finding tomorrow or my dreams

The rain poured down, but I kept walking without putting up my umbrella
Without even the courage to offer a hand to anyone who fell
I thought I didn't care if people said I was a bad seed
I wish the night would never come, twilight after-school blues

They only say what sounds good
Looking so innocent as they lie
Those who went before me say, "Make something of yourself"
But I don't want to become an adult who hides the truth

I don't want to live for nothing but status and prestige
With my leather jacket open, I climb on my bike and ride away

The rain poured down, but I kept running aimlessly
Unable to tell anyone about these feelings
I know it's pathetic and that I've got to grow up
But I'm all alone in the rain, with only the regret to huddle up with

The rain poured down, but I kept walking without putting up my umbrella
Without even the courage to offer a hand to anyone who fell
I thought I didn't care if people said I was a bad seed
I wish the night would never come, twilight after-school blues

The rain lets up and the white crescent moon shines through the clouds
Tomorrow I'll once again live life my way, twilight after-school blues
