The Flavor of Life

Arigatou to kimi ni iwareru to nandaka setsunai
Sayounara no ato no tokenu mahou awaku horonigai
The flavor of life
The flavor of life...

Tomodachi demo koibito demo nai chuukan chiten de
Shuukaku no hi wo yumemiteru aoi furu-tsu
Ato ippo ga fumidasenai sei de
Jirettai no wa nande, baby?

Arigatou to kimi ni iwareru to nandaka setsunai
Sayounara no ato no tokenu mahou awaku horonigai
The flavor of life
The flavor of life...

Amai dake no sasoi monku ajike no nai doku
Sonna mono ni wa kyoumi wa sosorarenai
Omoitoori ni ikanai toki datte
Jinsei suteta mon janai tte...
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/u/utada_hikaru/flavor_of_life.html ]
Doushita no? to kyuu ni kikareru to "Uun. Nandemo nai"
Sayounara no ato ni kieru egao watashi rashikunai
Sinjitai to negaeba negau hodo nandaka setsunai
"Aishiteru yo" yori mo "daisuki" no hou ga kimi rashii janai?
The flavor of life

Wasurekakete ita hito no omoi wo
Totsuzen omoidasu koro...
Furitsumoru yuki no shirosa wo omou to, yeah...
Sunao ni yorokobitai yo

Daiyamondo yorimo yawarakakute, atatakana mirai
Teni shitai yo kagiri aru jikan wo, kimi to sugoshitai
"Arigatou" to kimi ni iwareru to nandaka setsunai
Sayounara no ato no tokenu mahou awaku horonigai
The flavor of life
The flavor of life
Ohhh...
The flavor of life...
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

***
When you say thank you to me,
For some reason it hurts,
Like a magic spell
That doesn't get undone even after the good bye.
A hint of bitterness.
The flavor of life

Stuck in the midpoint between friends and lovers,
Like an un-riped fruit dreaming about the day of harvest
Because of being unable to move one more step forward
What's causing this frustration baby?

When you say thank you to me,
For some reason it hurts,
Like a magic spell
That doesn't get undone even after the good bye.
A hint of bitterness
The flavor of life

Sweet talk and tasteless conversations.
It sparks no interest in me
Even when things do not go the way you want
It doesn't mean you've thrown your life away
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/u/utada_hikaru/flavor_of_life_english_version.html ]
When asked 'What's wrong?'
I answer 'It's nothing'
The smile then disappears after goodbye
It's unlike me

The more I wish to believe in you,
For some reason it hurts even more
'I like you a lot' instead of 'I love you' sounds more like you
The flavor of life

The moment when you suddenly remember the scent of someone you had almost forgotten
I want to be able to openly and honestly cherish the white purity of the falling snow more

A future tender and warmer than a diamond
I want to grasp it, in this limited time we have, I want to spend it with you

When you say thank you to me,
For some reason it hurts,
Like a magic spell
That doesn't get undone even after the good bye.
A hint of bitterness
The flavor of life
