For practice, I did my own translation of that song. I personally like looking at multiple translations 'cause it's interesting seeing the slight differences that arise, so if you're also into that kind of thing, you can see my translation here ^^
As usual and without change, the ring of the alarm clock's bell starts
I rub my drowsy eyes, slip out of bed, open the curtains, and greet the sun. "Good morning"
Today is one more day I'll do my best
While en route to school, in the train I had an encounter
A drama-like love
While thinking things such as it's a result of the season that I'm having such hopes, there was a tap on my shoulder. "Huh? Me?!"
I turned my face, and it was indeed the beginning with him
From then on, every day before going to sleep there was a good night message via text*
On Sunday let's see a movie, meeting place in front of IMS
Wasn't it a good thing
Thank you, paper doll
Since then our happy days continued over the span of half a year's time
It's not really that something changed, however lately we just argue and disagree
Although the reasons are trivial, for some reason I can't be subdued
I understand in my heart if I were to simply say "sorry" that it'd be good, yet when I'm told "tsch, you're untender," I regrettably say too much, against better judgment.
Incredibly bad
I don't know what would be good to do
At that time there's no turning back
What a sad song it seems I'm listening to
Please teach me, paper doll
The map we drew together which is still unfinished is carefully placed into my pass holder
I wonder if you do this, too?
I hope so
It was placed in a magazine that love is an illusion
How simple it would be if I could think so
At such times, I unfold the map I'd expectedly put away
"Forever looking back on the past isn't good"
That was your favorite phrase to say. Your words changed me.
This type of thing is a first
Starting today, I say goodbye to my tears and sighs
Someday I wanna see/meet you with a smile
Surely tomorrow's gotta clear up
Thank you
Thank you, paper doll
* it says in the lyrics the message is by "テレメ" which I'm just assuming is like texting!
