Cassette Sakura Dream

[Verse 1]

Sakura on the platform

Petals stuck to my shoes

You laughed, said it’s a sticker

“春はちょっと、切ないね”

Train doors draw a soft line

Between “we were” and “we might”

I wave through my reflection

Your face already fading light

[Chorus]

Cassette sakura dream

You rewind inside of me

甘いまま 苦いまま

I still taste that April breeze

Cassette sakura dream

Every loop feels paper-thin

忘れたい 忘れられない

You keep blooming on my skin

[Verse 2]

Quiet room, Western window

Dust just hanging in beams

Your old thrift-store sweatshirt

Sleeps curled up in my jeans

Typed “元気？” then deleted

Cursor blinking like a heart

Half in English, half in silence

Can’t decide how to restart

[Chorus]

Cassette sakura dream

You rewind inside of me

甘いまま 苦いまま

I still taste that April breeze

Cassette sakura dream

Every loop feels paper-thin

忘れたい 忘れられない

You keep blooming on my skin

[Bridge]

もしあの日

違う言葉 選んでたら

Would we still be here

On this floor, humming our names? (yeah)

“もう平気”と

言い聞かせても まだ

That soft “またね”

Echoes like a ghost in the rain

[Chorus]

Cassette sakura dream

You rewind inside of me

甘いまま 苦いまま

I still taste that April breeze

Cassette sakura dream

Slowly warps with every spin

さよならも 言えないまま

You keep blooming on my skin
