lyrics

We stood and watched the satellites fly
And we held hands but never kissed goodbye
I will name a planet, tell me how far it lies
Tell me how it will die, tell me where in the sky it is
Three stars stand in a line
Our sign on the celestial sphere
One end points to Spica, and one to Arcturus
We tried to cry but no one could hear us

We were tears running in the rain
On a one way plane, on a runaway train
Was it love or envy, love or envy
That kept him with me, that kept him with me
We were just two lovers lying on the ground
Watch the sky turn round, watch it die and drown
Was it love or envy, love or envy
That kept him with me, that kept him with me

We saw our reflections in a window
And we looked like a king and queen though
I will name the stars, tell me how bright they burn
Tell me how they will die
Tell me how they will turn for us
Vega, Deneb and Altair
Read our fates in the star-crossed lovers
We were just too young, I was just too broken
But our eyes were closed, and our hearts were open

We were tears running in the rain
On a one way plane, on a runaway train
Was it love or envy, love or envy
That kept him with me, that kept him with me
We were just two lovers lying on the ground
Watch the sky turn round, watch it die and drown
Was it love or envy, love or envy
That kept him with me, that kept him with me

Every word was like a signal from a satellite
However hard I tried, I couldn't find a way to write
An ending for our tale, so stops and starts without a fight
It was to no avail, I took a flight and vanished in the night

(Through the marvels of planetary advancement
My voice is coming to you from a satellite
Circling in outer space
My message is a simple one)

We were tears running in the rain
On a one way plane, on a runaway train
Was it love or envy, love or envy
That kept him with me, that kept him with me
We were just two lovers lying on the ground
Watch the sky turn round, watch it die and drown
Was it love or envy, love or envy
That kept him with me, that kept him with me, yeah

We were tears running in the rain (雨は降ってた ame wa futteta)
On a one way plane, on a runaway train (あなたの顔が anata no kao ga)
Was it love or envy, love or envy (私の目に watashi no me ni)
That kept him with me, that kept him with me (むなしく映ってた munashiku utsutteta)
We were just two lovers lying on the ground (星が変ってた hoshi ga kawatteta)
Watch the sky turn round, watch it die and drown (空が回ってた sora ga mawatteta)
Was it love or envy, love or envy (笑って泣いて waratte naite)
That kept him with me, that kept him with me (二人が別れた futari ga kawatteta)
