scribblings: 眼鏡越しの空 // Sky beyond My Glasses

I first heard this song on the Dreams Come True greatest hits album THE SOUL.

Artist: Dreams Come True

Title: Sky beyond My Glasses

Romaji: Megane-goshi no Sora

原題: 眼鏡越しの空

Lyrics: YOSHIDA Miwa

I used to hate my glasses, but I haven't been able to take them off these past few days

They're just right for "hiding feelings" and "seeing right"

For some reason, I was in tears (1) the morning after I dreamed of you

I was in tears when I thought of how frumpy I am

Every time I call to mind your hair cut short and elegant posture

I'm longing to be like you

On the card in the album of photos of the sky I borrowed from the library

Was your name printed in your sharp, clean handwriting

What I hate isn't my glasses but the way I am

Even though I'm screaming from within the glass, no one notices

I'm sorry I always use them as a barrier

I'll change to lenses that show me off the way I am (2)

Every time I call to mind your hair cut short and elegant posture

I'm longing to be like you

On the back cover of the photobook you left on my desk is a crescent moon

The only thing that knows that side of me

I'm longing to be like you

The notion gives me strength

I'm longing to be like you

The notion gives me strength
