Automatic
Hikaru Utada(우타다 히카루/宇多田ヒカル) Lyrics

I can't help but feel alive, yeah, yeah
I cannot control the overwhelming sensation of being alive

When you picked up the receiver on the 7th ring
Upon answering the telephone on the seventh ring

Even without saying your name, your voice
Without uttering your name, your voice

Immediately understands me
Instantly comprehends me

A melody naturally spills from my lips
A melody effortlessly flows from my mouth

But the moment I lost my words is when I'm happiest
However, the instance when I am unable to speak is when I experience the greatest joy

Even on days when unpleasant things happen
Even during days filled with unpleasant occurrences

When I see you, everything flies away
Upon encountering you, all my troubles vanish

My rainy days without being able to see you
During my gloomy days when I cannot meet you

Automatically become sun will shine when I hear your voice
Automatically turns into a sunny day the moment I hear your voice

It's automatic
It happens involuntarily

Just by being by your side
Through mere proximity to you

Just by locking eyes with you
Just by gazing into your eyes

My heart won't stop pounding, I can't say no (I don't know why)
My heart continues to race, preventing me from refusing (I don't know why)

I just can't help
I simply cannot resist

When I'm embraced, it's like I'm in paradise with you
When I'm held in your arms, it feels like I'm in paradise with you

Dazzling and shining, when I close my eyes immediately (I don't know why)
Dazzling and radiant, when I close my eyes, it happens instantly (I don't know why)

I feel so good
I experience immense pleasure

Oh yeah, yeah yeah
Oh yes, yes yes

Your ambiguous attitude still makes me anxious
Your uncertain behavior continues to cause me unease

I'll keep this deeply in love a bit more secret
I'll keep my intense affection hidden a little while longer

Even on days when kindness is painful
Even during days when kindness becomes difficult to bear

You always tell me the truth
You always speak the truth to me

I can't cry alone on rainy days
I cannot shed tears alone during rainy days

Touch the ring and see, see the sun will shine
Touch the ring and observe, see how the sun will shine

It's automatic
It occurs instinctively

Just by being by your side, my whole body heats up
Simply by being near you, my entire body becomes warm

I can't hide my nervousness, I can't even breathe (I don't know why)
I cannot conceal my anxiety, I am even unable to breathe (I don't know why)

I just can't help
I simply cannot resist

When I access it, on the computer screen
When I access it, on the computer screen

The flickering characters
The blinking characters

When I touch them with my hand (I don't know why)
When I touch them with my hand (I don't know why)

I feel so warm
I experience a comforting warmth

Just by being by your side, I don't think you're lovely
Just by being near you, I do not perceive you as lovely

It's not just because I'm lonely and need you (I don't know why)
It is not solely due to my loneliness and need for you (I don't know why)

I just need you (oh yeah)
I simply require you (oh yeah)

When I'm in your embrace, it's like I'm in paradise with you
When I am held by you, it feels as if I am in paradise with you

Dazzling and shining, wow, wow, yeah (I don't know why)
Dazzling and radiant, wow, wow, yeah (I don't know why)

I feel so good
I experience immense pleasure

It's automatic (tell me why)
It occurs instinctively (tell me why)

I just want you to feel with me
I only desire for you to empathize with me

(I don't know why)
(I don't know why)

Tell me why
Explain to me why

It's automatic
It happens involuntarily

Automatic
Involuntary

Oh-oh
Oh-oh
