**[Verse 1]**
My wife and I left the house with our lunch in hand.
We quickly descended the steep stairs from the fifth floor to the first.
**[Pre-Chorus 1]**
When we got outside, the sky was cloudy,
and a cool breeze greeted us
as we walked hand in hand.
**[Chorus 1]**
“It’s 2.3 billion seconds,” she said to me with a smile.
“Um? What?” I replied, surprised.
“Just look at me! During that time!” she said.
“Uh, okay,” I replied.
**[Verse 2]**
We walked along the park path toward
the entrance of the apartment complex.
We left the complex and we walked
along the path between the rice paddies
**[Pre-Chorus 2]**
until we reached the parking lot.
In the parking lot was
our four-wheel-drive vehicle,
which we had just recently purchased.
**[Chorus 2]**
“It’s 2.3 billion seconds,” she said to me with a smile.
“Um? What?” I replied, surprised.
“Just look at me! During that time!” she said.
“Uh, okay,” I replied.
**[Instrumental Solo]**
**[Verse 3]**
I unlocked the passenger door,
opened it, and said, “Please, my sweetheart.”
She gracefully got into the passenger seat,
and I carefully closed the door.
**[Pre-Chorus 3]**
Then I quickly went around to
the driver’s side and rushed in.
I started the engine and asked her, “Which direction shall we go?”
**[Chorus 3]**
“It’s 2.3 billion seconds,” she said to me with a smile.
“Um? What?” I replied, surprised.
“Just look at me! During that time!” she said.
“Uh, okay,” I replied.
**[Bridge]**
She just said, “West.” I replied, “Understood.”
I asked, “Wait… 2.3 billion seconds?
Is that… until you’re 100 years old?”
**[Final Chorus]**
“It’s 2.3 billion seconds,” she said to me with a smile.
“Um? What?” I replied, surprised.
“Just look at me! During that time!” she said.
“Uh, okay,” I replied.
