I have fallen in love with UVERworld's 君の好きなうた.
All over again. Omg..
How could I have ever got over how sweet I thought the lyrics were..

君の好きなうた
(Your Favourite Song)

I still wasn't able to say "I love you" today
I saw you off, and though we'd just been together
I wanted to see you again, and I hummed
Your favorite song over and over on the way home

The tone of your voice, the direction of your gaze
Even the words you exchange with others
Your small gestures bewilder me
I pray you feel the same
I pray the answer is here
I've been waiting forever
If there's gonna be a miracle, make it happen here and now

Even your warmth when I accidentally touched your hand is precious
I felt like you'd accept me as I am
The things I realized from meeting you
Are changing me, more than ever before

After my last love, I hung my head
And said I'd never love again
But then I was able to think I want to live for someone else again
I'm going to tell you how I feel

No matter where I am or what I'm doing
I can't get you out of my head
You taught me the heartbreak of not being able to reach you
And love's bittersweetness and love's joy

Your smile and your voice on the other end of the line
Your small body and your dislike of crowds
And your bad habits, you're shining with things that are yours alone
Everything is the one and only

Inside of me, my love for you
Changes into the strength to live tomorrow
If we could face each other
Let's walk in step down a road of trust

I love you so much
It's painful and my love just grows
I wanted to see you again, and I hummed
Your favorite song over and over on the way home

Somehow, it sounds extra mushy in English. It really doesn't sound cheesy at all in Japanese.
I guess the essence of certain things really get lost in translation..
