Breaking ahead, from the west school building
Towards the prefab club rooms
The wind flutters my skirt
I'm the only one running

"That senior is quitting"
Is what I heard just a moment ago
This thing happened out of nowhere so
I'm starting to tremble

The timidly smiling girl
Won't you hold your arms open for her?
Even if what you feel doesn't change
I want to let you hear what I have to say

It was the kind of love that I couldn't speak to anyone about
My heart would race just being beside you
I was hiding my thoughts like no one would be able to tell
I never was able to confess
My very first love
Smelled like the scent of shampoo

The senior I longed for
Was waiting at the window sill
My chest still felt so tight
That breathing was hard
Her pure white blouse
Was translucent from the light behind
The reason I looked like I gasped
Was my secret

She couldn't even voice "I'm sorry"
She only moved her lips a little
Her determination made her
Keep her eyes on my forehead as she cried

It was the kind of love that I want no one else to know about
I always gazed at you casually
If I said anything at all, what I felt would come to light
On my own, I pulled my feelings together
Your hair, when you turned your face around, it had the scent of shampoo

One more time, you hugged me tight
And said "I always knew how you felt"

It was the kind of love that I couldn't speak to anyone about
My heart would race just being beside you
I was hiding my thoughts like no one would be able to tell
I never was able to confess
My very first love
Smelled like the scent of shampoo
