【English Cover】息もできない(Iki mo Dekinai)/ZARD

“Asking God if it’s okay for me to just believe…”
(Yeah, that was kind of a Taylor Swift reference, so what?)

Hiya everyone! Alice here!
It’s been… (checks) 7 years since I’ve written an English version of a song on this account. My songwriting skills have improved since then (I hope), and so I have written “Iki mo Dekinai,” **the** song that explains the honeymoon phase of a crush perfectly. I know the emotion too well. So, here it is! Written in English!

Lyrics by me! (If you like these lyrics, feel free to use them in your own cover! And please tell me if you’d like cause I’d like to hear it!)

When you’re here, I know I’m in love with you
So in love, that I can barely breathe
Even when you’re away
Can’t stop feeling this way, that I feel whenever you put your arms around me

If I listen so carefully, I can hear your heart beating
We’re alone here in time and I’m the only one who can hear it close to me
Yeah, I’ve got friends and family to talk to
And sometimes I like being alone
All the things in life I’ve already had goin’ on are special to me but when I’m with you…

When you’re here, I know I’m in love with you
So in love, that I can barely breathe
In the past, love has broken my heart a million times
So I’m scared of falling in too deep
But when we’re here together in the setting sun
All I want is to be right by your side
Well, the end’s far away as I wish on a star,
”All I want is for this love to stay,” is that cliche?

Would’ve thought that talking about love with you would feel so wrong
So imagine my luck when you just looked at me with a smile, listening along
But I don’t know if I just want to let everything out right here and now
Cause I’m still thinking about how you might feel and I still don’t know how you see me in your eyes

Well, I mean there’s the thing about the both of us
Overthinking nearly everything
Even if no one else understands what you’re like
Don’t ever change a single thing
And it’s because of you that my world is changing too
And I don’t ever want it to stop
You’re the one that I want to be here close to me
Can you feel it too? I really hope you want me too…

When you’re here, I know I’m in love with you
So in love, that I can barely breathe
It’s like the moon’s on a rollercoaster ride through my heart
Lighting up the darkness inside
Cancel all of your plans you got tomorrow cause
I’d do anything for just a chance
Want this love to be true, hope it’s not just a dream
Asking God if it’s okay for me to just believe

Coat is off as I feel a sudden warmth on my skin
Heading towards a brand new season right in front of me
