I know that it was right for
me to run away from you and that town on
that day When I showed you an uncomfortable smile and after a long silence got an even worse attitude than before You rubbed your forehead on the cold asphalt and attacked me for being a disappointment to you You lost your temper And I just ignored that I wonder what are the feelings of those lips that told me “goodbye” one year ago and are now kissing me A short lie became a big one, but I hid my real intentions I prefer a short distance to insufficient words; I thought you would understand me But I taught you how to cry And I just ignored that too They say there are plenty more pretty fish out there in the sea So why do you still have no one at your side with you? How outrageous was the dream I was dreaming Pushing such an arrogant kind of love on you The smell of winter in the big city isn’t right either And there’s no Momochihama Beach or you or Muromi River either Now I know that I can’t say such selfish things to you anymore So I know I can’t tell you to take me to the airport tomorrow even for the last time All of the warnings are now reality and this is my punishment I know that it was right for me to run away from you and that town on that day |

Notes: This song is about Ringo leaving behind her hometown of Fukuoka and someone there to try and make it in Tokyo. Momochihama Beach and Muromi River are both places in Fukuoka.
