LOVE TRIP

Lyrics: Akimoto Yasushi
Composition: Haruyuki
Arrangement: Hiroshi Sasaki

Where have
the street we've known gone?
The empty lots and hills disappeared
And a landscape I've never seen before spreads out

As we updated memories,
we've become adults before we know it
The past? The future?

I wanna go
LOVE TRIP
Beyond time
LOVE TRIP
Let's go back
Those days locked in my heart
I was there
LOVE TRIP
Where are you?
LOVE TRIP
I want to see you
There's something I've always forgotten to say
Love gets overwritten before we know it
But I remember the first pain
Under the summer sky
I met you

In our graduation photo
you're always smiling gently
Whenever my heart broke,
I gazed over and over at my next dream

In that time, what kinda of future
did we imagine with expectation?
I can't remember

I wanna do
LOVE TRIP
In search of you...
LOVE TRIP
Once more
Our youth when we talked together just about ideals
You were there
LOVE TRIP
What are you doing?
LOVE TRIP
I want to see you
There's something I could never say
To this day I've kept on regretting
that I hid my own feelings...
If I can't say I love you,
summer won't end

If I could see you, what could I say?
In a corner of our schoolyard, the same as those days,
now an adult, will I be able
to finally be honest?

I wanna go
LOVE TRIP
Beyond time
LOVE TRIP
Let's go back
Those days locked in my heart
I was there
LOVE TRIP
Where are you?
LOVE TRIP
I want to see you
There's something I've always forgotten to say
Love doesn't disappear; the heart covers it
That's why I want to try opening it sometimes
The blue summer sky
makes me think of you

LOVE TRIP
