Number five!

every time
I think about you
Somehow I feel
It's not fair

we are supposed to be lovers
And to be there for each other
Yet why is it that it's always me
The one who feels sad?

on the magazine every week
On the last page
Look on the horoscope
It says here,

"this week your boyfriend
Appears to be flirty.
Try not to worry about it
But be optimistic,"

ok so now I'll introduce
The other members
Of the band
On the bass
Tsuda atsutaka
Percussion
Sugawara yuki
Another percussionist
Kawai michael
Vibe
Sato takeshi
Keyboard
Nakayama tsutomu

because of you, see
I can't sleep
Hey, if you listen carefully,
You might hear it

the phone ringing at midnight
Must be bad news
It can't be
Be optimistic

(ok everybody sing along!)

a phone call from you
Asking me on a date
I've had enough
Go back to sleep
