lyrics
(the coat) Juuroku no fuyu ni katta kōto ga mada aru There is a coat from a winter I can barely picture now Mada shimaru. Sore ga kowai. Mada shimaru n da. It still buttons. That is the frightening part. It still fits. And the song is the same shape Written by someone who knew nothing And it holds me better than anything I have made since The coat from school, from school, the coat from school, from school I have outgrown my life and not the thing I made inside it The coat from school, from school, the coat from school, from school And every summer a field full of children hands it back Kodomo-tachi wa juuroku no mama de, watashi dake susumu They stay sixteen. Only I move. That is the arrangement. Sore de ii. Sore ga yakusoku datta. That is fine. That was the promise. I signed it without reading. Shiranakatta kara kaketa. Shitte itara kakenakatta. I could write it because I did not know anything. Knowing would have made it careful, and careful does not button. The coat from school, from school, the coat from school, from school I have outgrown my life and not the thing I made inside it The coat from school, from school, the coat from school, from school And every summer a field full of children hands it back (still fits...)
