do you want to be loved?

♪「ありがとう」と君に言われると なんだか切ない
「さようなら」の後も解けぬ魔法　淡くほど苦い
The flavor of life　The flavor of life　　♪

友達でも恋人でもない中間地点で
収穫の日を夢みてる青いフルーツ
あと一歩が踏み出せないせいで
じれったいの なんのって　baby

♪　repeat　♪

甘いだけの誘い文句　味気のないトーク
そんなものには興味をそそらない
思い通りにいかない時だって
人生、捨てたもんじゃないって

「どうしたの？」と急に聞かれると「ううん、何でもない」
「さようなら」の後に消える笑顔 私らしくない
信じたいと願えば願うほど なんだか切ない
「愛してるよ」よりも「大好き」のほうが君らしいんじゃない？

The flavor of life

忘れかけていた人の香りを　突然、思い出す頃
降り積もる雪の白さをもっと素直に喜びたいよ
ダイヤモンドよりも軟らかくて温かな未来
手にしたいよ　限りある時間を君と過ごしたい

TRANSLATION
♪When you say "Thank you" to me, it somehow makes me feel a bit pained.
And after you say "Goodbye," that magic that I couldn't escape from is just a fleeting bitterness,
This is the flavour of life. The flavour of life.♪

I dreamt of a harvest day, and picking unripened fruit
In the space between "not quite lovers" and "not quite friends."
And because I couldn't take that one last step forward,
You tell me it's frustrating, baby.

♪　repeat　♪

Sweet empty invitations and dry, flavourless talk -
These sort of things won't ever interest me.
And when things don't go the way you wanted,
You don't just throw your life away.

When you suddenly ask me, "What's wrong?" I just say, "No, it's nothing."
And the way my smile disappears after you say "Goodbye," it isn't like me at all.
Somehow the more I want to believe in you, the more painful it becomes.
Rather than declaring "I am in love with you," wouldn't a simple "I love you" be more like you, after all?

The flavour of life.

The unexpected scent of the person I'd just started to forget, it brings to mind that time...
I want to honestly be happy, more honest than the pure white of piled snow.
I don't want diamonds. I'd rather have a softer, warmer future.
I'd rather spend as much time as I can with you.
