Orange

On a sleepless night  
I sigh all alone  
How's everyone?  
I feel kind of lonely 

That's not like me  
So stop laughing  
It's just that I don't know   
My true self 

Into the broad earth, a single seed   
Extended its roots  
And bore fruit that was still unripe 

The fruit wants to hurry up  
And turn orange-coloured 
Basking in your light  
My ideals and dreams only expand  
Notice me, hey  
I tried to eat   
An orange today, too  
But it was still sour, and I cried  
Because it's unlike me to leave any behind  
I ate it all  
I loved it; I felt like crying  
I loved it; I loved it 

Even if they're similar, they're different  
Mandarins and oranges  
Friends and lovers  
And our two hearts, too 

I didn't want to get hurt  
So I fled  
When I did that, not even light  
Would shine upon me 

They're miracles, right?  
Encounters and love  
Seeds and buds  
Even for the fruit that was still unripe 

The color orange makes me recall   
The sunset glow that I saw  
On that day  
It seemed as if our two shadows   
Held hands together  
I wondered if  
The oranges would turn sweet someday  
Or would they wither?  
I didn't want to learn of my future  
So I ate it all  
It was sour...  
I loved it, but I felt like crying  
I loved it, so I felt like crying 

The fruit wants to hurry up  
And turn orange-colored  
Basking in your light  
My ideals and dreams only expand  
Notice me, hey  
I tried to eat  
An orange today, too  
But again, it was sour and I cried  
Because it's unlike me to leave any behind  
I ate it all; I loved it  
I felt like crying; I loved it  
I loved it  
I loved it; so sour  
I felt like crying; I loved it  

Orange
