Simple and Clean

Kingdom Hearts came out in... Seventh Grade? That's it. Everyone was listening to this song, oddly enough. Japanese and English. Two completely different sets of lyrics. Probably one of the only songs out there I prefer in English. At the time, I liked the words, but they meant nothing to me, really just gibberish. Listening to it now, the words seem to make more sense... I still don't quite get it, but it starts to make a little sense.

When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go

You're giving me too many things
Lately you're all I need
You smiled at me and said,

Don't get me wrong I love you
But does that mean I have to meet your father?
When we are older you'll understand
What I meant when I said "No,
I don't think life is quite that simple"

The daily things
That keep us all busy
Are confusing me.

Thats when you came to me and said,

Wish I could prove I love you
But does that mean I have to walk on water?
When we are older you'll understand
It's enough when I say so,
And maybe something are that simple

When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go

Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before

- Utada Hikaru, Simple and Clean

Of course, it could mean nothing at all. A lot of J-pop is so ambiguous that I often wonder if they were even planning to say anything at all. :P But still, it's nice, sometimes, to revisit an old favourite.
