Flavor of Life - 宇多田ヒカル
ありがとうと君に言われると

When you say thank you to me
なんだか切ない
nandaka setsunai
for some reason it hurts
さようならの後も解けぬ魔法
sayonara no ato mo tokenu
Like a magic spell that doesn’t get undone even after the good bye
淡くほろ苦い
mahou awaku horonigai
a hint of bitterness
The flavor of life...... The flavor of life......
友達でも恋人でもない中間地点で
tomodachi demo koibito demo nai chuukan chiten de
Stuck midpoint between friends and lovers
収穫の時を夢見てる青いフルーツ

like an un-ripped fruit dreaming about the day of harvest
あと一歩が踏み出せないせいで
ato ippo ga fumidasenai sei de
because of being unable to just move one more step forward
じれったいの何のってBaby
Jirettai no nani notte? Baby
what’s causing this frustration Baby

It’s unlike me
信じたいと願えば願うほど
sinjitai to negaeba negau hodo
The more I wish to believe in you

nandaka setsunai
For some reason it hurts even more

sounds more like you
The flavor of life…
