Lyrics & Translation
I chased after your back
Because you're going far away to another town
I didn't want to go home
When you came to pick me up, you walked away
A car started chasing, I ran after it
I waved goodbye until I couldn't see you anymore
I was faster than you, right?
This time, I'll be the one chasing you
Tag, I always win at hide and seek
I didn't realize I was falling in love
Only when I was the one chasing did I understand
I ran because I wanted to touch your back
We had no way to contact each other
I almost forgot about your back
At the opposite platform, there's a lingering memory
You were there
Maybe I’m just mistaken
Could it be, ah...
I lack the courage to say something
I don't want to admit it, it's so annoying
Even though it feels like so long ago
Hide and seek, you always win
This feeling can't be hidden
Even when we meet, I don't know what to say
I don’t know
Don’t decide how it ends
You were chasing after me
I was used to being liked
Loving you just because we might never see each other again
That’s unfair, ah...
You can't play hide and seek alone, you know
Love can’t even be born
Only when I’m the one chasing did I realize
I want to touch your back
Hide and seek, you win again
My love still hurts
Hurry up and let me touch your back
Just once more
End this game of tag
Let's go home quickly
