Riding my bicycle (riding my bicycle)
Down that familiar road (down that familiar road)
Wiping off the sweat
From waiting in line
Feeling a September breeze
On our day off (on our day off)
If you can't make it (if you can't make it)
The things about you
Make sure you take care of yourself
I thought
We were just friends
But right now,
You,
I really miss you
Maybe
Maybe
Maybe I like you
In the sky
<Br>There isn't a single cloud
Maybe
Maybe
Maybe I like you
It's how love is,
That much I know
But maybe that's an excuse
The windows in the classroom (the windows in the classroom)
Light flickering from the curtains (light flickering from the curtains)
In the second term,
Where did this you come from?
There's an adult side
"What kind of things (what kind of things)
did you do on vacation?" (did you do on vacation)
My way of talking
<Br>Becoming altogether clumsy
I was so worried
About how I cut my hair
I stayed away,
From you,
And watched you from afar
Maybe
Maybe
That's not being brave
There are more certain things,
That are closer to probably
Maybe
Maybe
That's not being brave
It's good always like this
A one sided love
But maybe that's an excuse
You're dear to me
It's painful
How did this become impossible
You're dear to me
It's painful
I'm difficult
I like you, I like you, I like you
The things about you
I really like you
Maybe

That's not being brave
There are more certain things,
That are closer to probably
