[Verse 1]
I wonder if you still remember, it was hot June in our childhood
On the deserted railroad track, we walked on and on
Enthusiastic, hanging a water bottle around his neck
Masatoshi showed off the mountain bike his uncle bought for him

[Verse 2]
"But I don’t like my uncle because he always makes my mom cry"
I felt uneasy and had to look away, as I saw a big bruise on his face

[Pre-Chorus]
Caught in a shower, we rushed to a desolate station to shelter
From the rain, talking about tomorrow, talking about the day after
Laughing our heads off at silly things, excited to feel the storm was coming, at that momеnt we were all dеfinitely

[Chorus]
Waiting for the summer
Waiting for the summer

[Verse 3]
I don’t want to be here, I want to go somewhere else
I wonder if they mean the same, anyway, shall we have a walk?
Yasuhito had never been the athletic type
He finally sat down hugging his knees and murmured
“I’m always left behind by everyone, I’m really no good, sorry.”
[Verse 4]
Somehow it made us burst into laugh
And it made Yasuhito laugh with teary eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
Hide-and-seek in tall summer grass, the lapse of time was trying to catch us, screaming “Ready or not, here I go”
I was never found, hugging my knees just like then
Looking up at the blue sky from my room and I was


[Chorus]
Waiting for the summer
Waiting for the summer

[Verse 5]
Taller than other kids, tougher than other kids
Taihei always came up with crazy games
“Let’s see who can hang down the longest from this railway bridge, and everyone has to obey him.”
We chickened out and couldn’t do it
But Taihei did as if it was nothing

[Verse 6]
Seven years later, Taihei jumped off a building, I wonder if he was better off without that courage

[Pre-Chorus]
Hide-and-seek under a tall building, I wonder how long it’s been
Since then, there’s no voice saying “Ready or not, here I go”
If today carries on from that day, we’ve got to continue
Our adventure, as I was looking up at June sky, I was
[Chorus]
Waiting for the summer
