Lyrics: (Japanese)

Hachi gatsu juu go nichi no gogo juu ni ji han kurai no koto
Tenki ga ii
Byouki ni narisou na hodo mabushii hizashi no naka
Suru koto mo nai kara kimi to dabetteita

"Demo maa natsu wa kirai kana" neko o nade nagara
Kimi wa futebuteshiku tsubuyaita
Aa nige dashita neko no ato o oikakete
Tobi konde shimatta no wa aka ni kawatta shingouki

Batto toota torakku ga kimi o hikizutte naki sakebu
Chi shibuki no iro kimi no kaori to mazari atte muse kaetta
Uso mitai na kagerou ga "Uso ja nai zo" tte waratteru
Natsu no mizuiro kakimawasu you na semi no ne ni subete kuranda

Me o samashita tokei no hari ga nari hibiku beddo de
Ima wa nanji?
Hachi gatsu juu yon ka no gozen juu ni ji sugi kurai o sasu
Yake ni urusai semi no koe oboeteita

Demo saa sukoshi fushigi da na
Onaji kouen de kinou mita yume o omoidashita
"Mou kyou wa kaerou ka" michi ni nuketa toki
Mawari no hito wa minna ue o miage kuchi o aketeita

Rakka shite kita tecchuu ga kimi o tsuranuite tsukisasaru
Tsunzaku himei to fuurin no oto ga kigi no sukima de karamawari
Waza to rashii kagerou ga "Yume ja nai zo" tte waratteru
Kuramu shikai ni kimi no yokogao waratteiru you na ki ga shita

(Instrumental solo)

Nando sekai ga kurande mo kagerou ga waratte ubai saru
Kurikaeshite nan juu nen. Mou tokku ni ki ga tsuiteitaro
Konna yoku aru hanashi nara ketsumatsu wa kitto hitotsu dake
Kurikaeshita natsu no hi no mukou

Batto oshinoke tobikonda shunkan torakku ni buchiataru
Chi shibuki no iro kimi no hitomi to kishimu karada ni ranhanshashite
Monku arige na kagerou ni "Zamaa miro yo" tte warattara
Jitsu ni yoku aru natsu no hi no koto. Sonna nanika ga koko de owatta

Me o samashita hachigatsu juuyonka no beddo no ue
Shoujo wa tada
"Mata dame datta yo" to hitori neko o dakikakaeteta

Lyrics: (English) (You can sing along! Cover by Zoozbuh)

August 15th, 12:30 noon, I don't see a cloud above
The sun is shining down, what a pretty day
So sick of this summer heat, I can't beat away the haze. The rays are giving way
And spending all my time having conversations, sitting next to you

"Hey but I... don't really like the summertime..." And as you petted that cat
You said such a daring thing, right from under your breath
Ah, and as the cat had ran away...  You tried to chase it in the end
Jumping right out in front of a traffic light that poured a shade of red bright red

Crashing in and breaking you to bits
That truck heard a scream a little bit too late
Blood dripping everywhere, I choke on your smell of hair
I breathe in a gulp of air and just can't take it!

Are these lies? The heat is mocking me
"What you see is exactly what you're gonna get!"
And with the blue of sky, I hear singing crickets cry
And fall right back into another dark sleep

Sitting up in my bed, I could hear ticking clocks the shock will mock my ever ringing head
I look to see the time
August 14th, 12 something noon, I don't see a cloud above, the sun is shining down...
And yet I hear a cry of a cricket singing loudly in my head

"Hey, but I... I really have to wonder why..."
Cause in the dream I had last night, we sat in the same park we are sitting in now
"Hey, I think the two of us should leave" But stepping slightly off the path
Their heads turned towards the sky and were gaping, pointing, struggling to keep away a scream

Stabbing holes and splitting you in two
The beam made a seam as it fell from the sky
Ringing a wind chime and shaking a passerby
Then filling the air until they hit those park trees

Are these lies? The heat is mocking me
"Bet you wish you were asleep, but it's not a dream!"
Vision had blurred away and keeping my thoughts at bay
I swear you stood there while keeping such a dark smile

(Instrumental solo)

Endlessly I see that overheated haze
And again, the laughing will repeat on through the days
You've been dying for the past ten years
We are trapped in cycles, and the end is never clear...

But a story is a story all the same
And today, like any has an ending so to say
Far away, and beyond that scorching summer day...

Crashing in and hitting me instead of you
I push you aside and to nearly dodge a truck
Blood dripping everywhere, you choke on my smell of hair
You breathe in a gulp of air and just can't take it

Are these lies? I haven't heard him say
"What you see is exactly what you're gonna get!"
Maybe this summer day has finally gone away
But that's all I'll say, so this is where it ends now

August 14th, sitting alone on a bed a girl awakes, repeating just the same
Muttering again...
"Guess I failed again..." as she sat all alone and held a cat still cradled in her arms
