Nemukunaru youna hayasa deMizutama wo kechirashiteku
 Yureru wiper wo mi nagara
 Chikoku no ii wake wo kangaeru
 
 Yuutsu na asa no juutai no naka de
 Yoko ni naranda taxi
 Ushiro ni hitori suwatteiruno wa
 Kimi ni yoku nita hito
 
 Shizuka na ame ni koe mo dasezu
 Mune dake ga takanari
 Kumotta glass wo te no hira de fuite
 Yokogao wo miteita
 
 Nan ju meter ka saki no hou
 Dare ka ga jikou okoshiteru
 Boku mo kimi ni nita hito wo
 Namekuji mitai ni sundeyuku
 
 Tooku ni sobieru maatarashii building
 Kasunderu saijoukai
 Ano koro anna no nakatta nante
 Kokoro de hanashiteru
 
 Shizuka na ame ni tojikomerare
 Amai mousou ni hitaru
 Honno suufun kan no rendezvous ga owateku
 Nagorioshii sou ni
 
 Mado wo akete me de oikaketemo
 Soko ni wa dare mo inai
 Usuku hikari no nureru sora wo miage
 Kousaten wo magaru
 | ENGLISH TRANSLATION 
 
With sleepy speedDrops of water kicking about
 While looking at the swaying wiper
 I'm thinking of a good reason for being late
 
 In the middle of stressful morning traffic
 Across is a taxi lining up
 At the back, sitting all alone
 Is someone who looks very much like you
 
 In the silent rain, I don't even make one sound
 Only my heart throbbing violently
 Wiping the foggy glass with the palm of my hand
 Looking at her side profile
 
 Some 10 meters in the front
 Somebody has an accident
 Just like a snail I'm inching
 Towards the person who looks like you
 
 A brand new building that soars high in the far
 Its top level is growing misty
 Before it wasn't there
 Somehow I'm talking about it in my heart
 
 In the silent rain, I'm imprisoned
 Soaking in sweet delusion
 Such short rendezvous has come to an end
 Very reluctantly
 
 Even as I open the window and chase with my eyes
 There is no one there
 Looking up at the sky that is wet with light from rain drops
 I make a turn at the intersection

| JAPANESE 歌詞 
 
眠くなるようなはやさで水玉を蹴散らしてく
 揺れるワイパーを見ながら
 遅刻のいい理由考える
 
 憂うつな朝の渋滞の中で
 横にならんだTAXI
 後ろにひとり
 座っているのは
 君によく似た人
 
 静かな雨に声も出せず
 胸だけが高鳴り
 くもったガラスを
 手のひらで拭いて
 横顔を見ていた
 
 何十mか先の方
 誰かが事故おこしてる
 僕も君に似た人も
 ナメクジみたいに
 進んでゆく
 
 遠くにそびえる
 真新しいbuilding
 かすんでる最上階
 あの頃あんなの
 なかったなんて
 心で話してる
 
 静かな雨に閉じ込められ
 甘い妄想にひたる
 ほんの数分間の
 ランデブーが終わってく
 なこり惜しそうに
 
 窓を開けて目で
 追いかけても
 そこには誰もいない
 うすく光の漏れる
 空を見上げ
 交差点を曲がる
