CHE.R.RY (english version)

Preliminary(rough draft) English version of another YUI song.
This time, an uncharacteristically girlish, cutesy love song by YUI. I usually don't like songs in this vein, but YUI nailed it with this one.
I'm still working on getting everything to match the meter perfectly, but it probably won't change much ultimately, and it's at least singable as it is. Oh, not singable by me though, because it's way out of my range. But I present you with the lyrics anyway.

CHE.R.RY (English version)

Tiny phones shivers in my palm
Somehow incites just a little bit of bravery
I quickly tire of emoticons
But if it's you, they can still get a smile from me

My friends all say that I should play hard to get
I shouldn't be so quick to answer your texts
But answering straight off is all I can do
Because I love you
Ah ah ah ah

I fell head over heels for you
Come on boy, haven't you realized yet?
I whisper prayers to the stars in the sky
Cherry
Let these fingers convey a message that'll reach you, baby

Cherry blossoms open to full bloom
I can see it all from here where I'm standing
Wish that somehow I could could leave this room
For ten seconds just see the world you see

But really I'd prefer just to hear my phone ring
Even one line is fine, really, anything
Even if it's all lies, I'll pretend it's true
Because I love you
Ah ah ah ah

I fell head over heels for you
Come on boy, haven't you realized yet?
I whisper prayers to the stars in the sky
Cherry
Let these fingers convey a message that'll reach you, baby

The fruits on the trees that start out sour
Can always grow sweet
I hope my words can
Harness that power
Ah ah ah ah

My heart twists and turns for you
Just how love always feels when it begins
But I know I will wait like this for you always
Spring is offering to send you this message on its cold winds, baby

I fell head over heels for you
Come on boy, haven't you realized yet?
I whisper prayers to the stars in the sky
Cherry
Let these fingers convey a message that'll reach you, baby
