No.520 A Quick Leap Through the Night

[Verse 1]
In the lab, I worked wearing a tie and a white coat.
Occasionally, other members would wander in,
But they’d finish their tasks and leave right away.
So, most of the time, I was alone.

[Pre-Chorus 1]h
Someone was watching from outside the door at one point, but I didn’t mind at all.

[Chorus 1]
Outside the window, the sun had set, and darkness had fallen.
The night’s gloom covered everything.
It didn’t bother me in the slightest.

[Verse 2]
If I missed the train, I wouldn’t be able to get home,
So I’d start getting ready to leave around 8:00 PM.
And at 8:30, I’d say goodbye and head out.
It was pitch black outside, and the city lights were glittering.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I mingled with the crowds on my way to the station and boarded a packed inbound JR train.

[Chorus 2]
Outside the window, the sun had set, and darkness had fallen.
The night’s gloom covered everything.
It didn’t bother me in the slightest.

[Verse 3]
Holding onto the strap, I looked out the window,
The train passed Shinjuku, Yoyogi, and Sendagaya, then I got off at Asakusabashi to transfer.
The subway emerged above ground.

[Pre-Chorus 3]
The train sped along, far below the surface level.
Finally, it came to a stop at the last station.

[Chorus 3]
Outside the window, the sun had set, and darkness had fallen.
The night’s gloom covered everything.
It didn’t bother me in the slightest.

[Bridge]
I climbed the stairs and left the station.
A ten-minute bus ride along a dark road,
And I arrived at the housing complex.
“I’m home.” “Welcome back.” Her cheerful voice.

[Final Chorus]
Outside the window, the sun had set, and darkness had fallen.
The night’s gloom covered everything.
It didn’t bother me in the slightest.

[Outro]
