SCANDAL (English Translations) – Aitai (Want to Meet)

When we were children, the average us looked up to heroes we couldn't be
While finishing our part-time jobs

Because you were always straight-forward, staring at tomorrow
You must have been laughing at my halfheartedness

The elementary students that ran across the crossroad
Somehow reminded me of our past selves

I want to meet you, meet you now
On nights I can't sleep, and even in my dreams
Always, yes, always, my floating memory of you is fading
I want to meet you, meet you now
Although we are separated and you are far away
I still remember the smiling you

In the ever monotonous days, we exchange opinions by e-mail
Besides words of thanks, not much else seems to come

While we were passing off as adults, I couldn't reach you anywhere
The only thing that comes into view is us trying too hard

On a sharp curved street on the top of a hill, we went at full speed
If you saw how I am now, I wonder what you would say

I want to meet you, meet you now
Another sleepless night in my dreams
Always, yes, always I'll remember that promise
I want to meet you, meet you now
If I realize it, you'll be by my side
On the day that won't return

When the pouring rain stops, a new sky will shine
Any time can change for sure
As long as you seriously wish for it, everything will be all right

I want to meet you, meet you now
Another sleepless night in my dreams
Always, yes, always, so you can always stay smiling
I want to meet you, meet you now
On nights I can't sleep, and even in my dreams
Your memory

I want to meet you, meet you now
It's okay if it's like a drawing instead of a dream
Always, yes, always, while I am holding on to these feelings
I want to meet you, meet you now
On nights I can't sleep, and even in my dreams
I won't forget you
