number five! 

every time 

I think about you 

somehow I feel 

it's not fair 

we are supposed to be lovers 

and to be there for each other 

yet why is it that it's always me 

the one who feels sad? 

on the magazine every week 

on the last page 

look on the horoscope 

It says here, 

"this week your boyfriend 

appears to be flirty. 

try not to worry about it 

but be optimistic," 

ok so now i'll introduce 

the other members 

of the band 

on the bass 

tsuda atsutaka 

percussion 

sugawara yuki 

another percussionist 

kawai michael 

vibe 

sato takeshi 

keyboard 

nakayama tsutomu 

because of you, see 

I can't sleep 

hey, if you listen carefully, 

you might hear it 

the phone ringing at midnight 

must be bad news 

it can't be 

be optimistic 

(ok everybody sing along!) 

a phone call from you 

asking me on a date 

i've had enough 

go back to sleep
