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
