Romaji

Tomatte shimae tokeidai hachiji wo tsugeru aida ni
Yakusoku sugite tameiki anata no kao ga mou miesou

Tomatte shimae tokeidai kaisatsu nukeru toki made
Yoyaku wo ireta dinaa mo dainashi ni natte kyanseru wa iya

Anata ga mada tatte imasu you ni
Ressha ni yurarenagara watashi mo yureteta
Iinogare nante tabuu da wa attara nante iou
"Kenketsu shitemashita no"

Sentakumono ga karande ressha wa tochuu teishi shita
Koko kara aruite itte maniau no nara orite yuku no ni

Anata ga mada tatte imasu you ni
Ressha ni yurarenagara watashi mo yureteta
Mado no soto de kasuka ni naru tokeidai no kane
Mimi no oku de zawameku

Yubikiri kawashita koyubi no hone wa kishimi
Makka ni somari binetsu wo yadoshita mama
Anata no yubi ga yurunde hodokete yuku
Shizuka ni sono te wo kiriotoshite

Tomatte shimae tokeidai hachiji wo tsugeru aida ni
Yakusoku sugite tameiki anata no koe ga mou kikoeru

Anata ga mada tatte imasu you ni
Ressha ni yurarenagara watashi mo yureteta
Iinogare nante tabuu da wa attara nante iou
"Kenketsu shitemashita no"

Anata ga mada tatte imasu you ni
Ressha ni yurarenagara watashi mo yureteta
Mado no soto de kasuka ni naru tokeidai no kane
Mimi no oku de zawameku

English

Let the clocktower stop as it announces it’s 8:00
I think I can see your face, sighing as the time we promised passes

Let the clocktower stop until I get through the ticket gate
Even our dinner reservations are ruined, I hate that we’ve got to cancel them

I hope you’re still there
I was shaking too, thrown about by the train
Excuses are taboo, when I see you I’ll say
“I was giving blood”

My washing got tangled and the train stopped halfway
If I’ll make it in time if I walk from here, I’ll get off now

I hope you’re still there
I was shaking too, thrown about by the train
The clocktower bell, chiming faintly outside the window
Is loud in my ears

As we make a pinky promise the bone in my little finger creaks
Stained bright red, with a slight fever
Your finger loosens and lets go
And you quietly drop your hand

Let the clocktower stop as it announces it’s 8:00
I think I can see your face, sighing as the time we promised passes

I hope you’re still there
I was shaking too, thrown about by the train
Excuses are taboo, when I see you I’ll say
“I was giving blood”

I hope you’re still there
I was shaking too, thrown about by the train
The clocktower bell, chiming faintly outside the window
Is loud in my ears
