DREAMS COME TRUE - "Suki" lyrics translation
This song and its cover make me want to cry. It had me at the first few piano notes of the intro. It's so lovely and bittersweet that it has quickly become one of my favorites. And this CD cover photo omg... it's so full of the love that was between the original 3 band members, but is kinda sad to look at knowing that Nishikawa left DCT after they'd been together ~14 years.
Anyways, this song is amazing and fairly straightforward, so I'm surprised I couldn't find a translation online. I think I got it, but feel free to make any corrections to my translation.

KANJI:
やさしい人達の 然りげない誘いを
"×"と大きく腕で書いた 少し笑った
"心に穴が空く"ってこと わかった気がした
妙にぴったりで また 少し笑った
すき… Woo Yeah
帰り道のことは 何も覚えてなかった
ドアを開けたままで バスタブにうずくまった
甘い愛の歌ばかりが FMから聴こえる
(ちょっと失敗)つぶやいて また 笑った
すき… Woo
抱いた膝に 次々にこぼれるしずく
そっか 私
ずっと 泣きたかったんだ
すき… Yeah
すき… すき すき すき すき すき
Wow Yeah Wow Wow
すき すき すき
Ah… すき すき…
ROMAJI:
yasashii hitotachi no sarigenai sasoi wo

“kokoro ni ana ga aku" tte koto wakatta ki ga shita
myou ni pittari de mata sukoshi waratta

Wow Yeah Wow Wow
suki suki suki

TRANSLATION:
To the casual invitations out from nice people,
I drew a big “X” with my arms and laughed a little
I felt like I understood what having “a hole in my heart” meant
Strangely, right then, I laughed a little again
I love you… Woo Yeah
I couldn’t remember anything about my way home
I left the door open and crouched in the bath tub
Nothing but sweet love songs play from FM
(I messed up) I murmured and laughed again
I love you… Woo
As I hugged my knees, drops spilled over, one after the other
I see, I wanted to cry this whole time
I love you…Yeah
I love you… I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
Wow Yeah Wow Wow
I love you, I love you, I love you
