Flower

Lyrics & Music: Joe Inoue & Hiroya Takayama

Now that I have sold out
There is not much I can do
Kiss people's ass and hopefully
They'll all come to love me one day

They all sound the same
Can you feel my pain?

If you want to be successful here
All you have to do is sing about love
And they'll love you
'Cause that's all they want to hear

You don't have to mean it
They don't really care
So here's another phrase:

The things I kept searching for are right here
Acquiring things like a reason and a motive aren't necessary
A flower dwelling in my heart blooms here
Come on, come on, come on

You better be careful what you say here
Boy, watch your mouth

I know for one thing they'll get pissed and
Bash the hell out of me via internet

You don't have to mean it
To be loved or hated
So here's another phrase:

The things I kept searching for are right here
Acquiring things like a reason and a motive aren't necessary
A flower dwelling in my heart blooms here
Come on, come on, come on

People react too seriously
To the things I think are a waste of time

I say direct your attention
To the things that matter

The things I kept searching for are right here
Acquiring things like a reason and a motive aren't necessary
A flower dwelling in my heart blooms here
Come on, come on, come on

* The title "HANNAH" is said the same way the word "hana" - meaning "flower" - is said in Japanese

HANNAH

Now that I have sold out
There is not much I can do
Kiss people's ass and hopefully
They'll all come to love me one day

They all sound the same

If you want to be successful here
All you have to do is to sing about love
And they'll love you
'Cause that's all they want to hear

You don't have to mean it
They don't really care
So here's another phrase:

Sagashi tsudzukete ita mono wa koko ni aru
Rikutsu ya riyuu nado wo tsukeru hitsuyou wa naku
Mune ni yadorishi hana ga koko ni te saku
Come on, come on, come on

You better be careful what you say here
Boy, watch your mouth

I know for one thing they'll get pissed and
Bash the hell out of me via internet

You don't have to mean it
To be loved or hated
So here's another phrase:

Sagashi tsudzukete ita mono wa koko ni aru
Rikutsu ya riyuu nado wo tsukeru hitsuyou wa naku
Mune ni yadorishi hana ga koko ni te saku
Come on, come on, come on

People react too seriously
To the things I think are a waste of time

I say direct your attention
To the things that matter

Sagashi tsudzukete ita mono wa koko ni aru
Rikutsu ya riyuu nado wo tsukeru hitsuyou wa naku
Mune ni yadorishi hana ga koko ni te saku
Come on, come on, come on

HANNAH
