Title: Slow Starter
Words: Sakurai Kazutoshi
Music: Sakurai Kazutoshi
if you listen carefully, you can hear it faintly
a voice teasing you to come to it.
the departure bell rang
slow starter, time to go
if I run away from here, and go home to the country
I might make it out without anymore problems
but I waited, waited longer
slow starter, time to go
I may seem pathetic but I don’t need sympathy
wagging my tail, I’ll take when I see an opening.
other people laugh “you don’t have to put up fronts”
I don’t dream dreams that won’t come true.
the departure bell rang
slow starter, time to go
