世界的中心

這首歌會讓我想起ゆりか   我的第一個筆友
不知道怎麼的我們兩個就斷了音訊
在過了許久以後的現在  她的地址依然在我腦中沒有忘記

是我的信寄丟了嗎
還是她怎麼了
或是換過幾次地址的我錯過了她的回信

我記得我總是很期待的每天去開信箱
看看有沒有她的回信
這次她會在信裡寫些什麼呢
她會喜歡我送給她的東西嗎
她又寄了什麼給我呢

我常常會想起ゆりか
一個很善良純樸的金澤女孩
她寫的每一封信
她親手做給我的車票夾
我都還收得好好的

hello do you remember me
I am your long lost penpal





Hello
Do you remember me
I am your long lost pen pal
It must have been ten years ago we last wrote
I don't really know what happened
I guess life came in the way
Let me know if you're still alive
Let me know if you ever used that knife or not

Hello
Yes I remember you
I've got a husband and two children now
I work as an accountant and make fairly good money
I still have your letters, you used a pink pen to write them
And you would comfort me
when my tears would stain the ink
And I would send you mix tapes with Kate Bush on

I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters
Tried to make life better than it was
I still wasn't kissed at sixteen
And I still need a friend

There was this letter
I never told you this back then
But it would be fair to say it saved my life
I sat in the window
The only one left out from a party again
Pretty sure I didn't have a single friend
Then I checked the mailbox

Dear long lost penpal
I was lying the whole time
I'm really a 46 years old man named Luke

I have three children
and a wife, she doesn't care
And I hope you don't resent me
And I hope you do not hate me
For trying to find my way back to what it's like to be young

I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters
Tried to make life better than it was
I still wasn't kissed at sixteen
And I still need a friend
