Cherry Blossoms (Sakura)

My diploma's all crumpled
I'd meant to throw it away
But hey, let's trade
Our fingertips are jostled apart
By the rambunctious underclassmen

I like being far enough apart
To hit you with my shoe
Hey, let's kiss
I won't curse the spring wind
Look, cherry blossoms fell onto my hair

Someone's using the seats by the window
Maybe we can see from here
Someone carved "I'm not speaking to you anymore"
And then right next to it
"This time I'm really not speaking to you anymore"
No one notices it on the desk
We breathe quietly

I want to be cherry blossoms, so many
In the wind, so many
I'm practicing being alone
In the middle of taking a deep breath
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't
God started making it, but stopped
I don't understand this feeling at all
When I, when my hand touched you
I can't, I can't, I can't

I knew someone I didn't know
Would call out to me as the sun set that day
But I stayed with my friends
And that was enough to keep me warm

After all, if I cry
They'll see me looking ugly
I won't curse the spring wind
Let's walk to the ticket gate together

"Shall we go somewhere?"
"Wherever's furthest from here."
We skipped class
Go faster
I'll hold on to you tightly
Blown by a wind no one would choose
We kept chasing

I want to be cherry blossoms, so many
In the wind, so many
I'm practicing being alone
In the middle of taking a deep breath
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't
Even when the departure bell rang, I couldn't say it
The gentlest wind this year
Blows past my momentary hesitation
I can't, I can't, I can't

"Shall we go somewhere?"
"Wherever's furthest from here."
We skipped class
I can't make this into "a good memory"
I want to believe this wound
If we're painted white
Will we be able to become new?

I want to be cherry blossoms, so many
In the wind, so many
I'm practicing being alone
In the middle of taking a deep breath
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't
God started making it, but stopped
I don't understand this feeling at all
When I, when my hand touched you
I can't, I can't, I can't
