Lyrics:
Can’t I catch a break - on long nights spent awake
All I do is think about our heartbreak
Planned apologies, I had memorized
‘Til I saw your face and I was tongue-tied

Lord give me one more chance
I don’t want to let you get away!
Lord give me one more chance
Won’t lose you to yesterday

Passing by, passing by like clouds in the sky
With nothing left to say, stranger by the day
(I) can’t let it end up this way!

Lord give me one more chance
I don’t want to let you get away!
Lord give me one more chance
Won’t lose you to yesterday

Passing by, passing by like clouds in the sky
With nothing left to say, stranger by the day
(I) can’t let it end up this way!

Lying everyday, leading me astray
Haven’t we both had enough to give way?
Even lookin’ back, all I see is black
I can’t even find a way to fight back

Lord give me one more chance
I don’t want to let you get away!
Lord give me one more chance
Won’t lose you to yesterday

Lord give me one more chance
I don’t want to let you get away!
Lord give me one more chance
Won’t lose you to yesterday

I hope you all enjoy the new music!

What amazes me about Caitlin is how she translates the lyrics from Japanese to English and does it in such a way it fits musically. The woman must be a genius.

[pmuean]

The music: easy listening enjoyable pop funk to light your mood
The lyric: P A I N

[brandon-cl]

I'll never cease being impressed by how great these covers consistently are. Making a cover that rivals the original song in quality is hard as it is, let alone when doing it in a different language.
Also that art of Taeko Onuki is amazing

[miiikuuuu]

GIRL OMG U LITERALLY GOT IT, THE GOOSEBUMPS OMG, LITERALLY ATE LEFT NO CRUMBS

[noseasoning]

I won’t lie I was slightly skeptical about an English cover of this song, but after hearing this I was blown away. This is absolutely fantastic and I love it even more than the original. You always deliver quality.

[granthse]

I am constantly impressed that you make English covers of Japanese songs sound good. so many people try to literally translate then force words to fit into the music and it always sounds awkward but you always keep generally the same meaning of the song while still making it sound good in English. this is how its done and you are the gold standard for these covers in my opinion, for whats that worth coming from a life long japanese music lover

[moisesarellano]

I like how even though the lyrics were altered, it still captures the same emotions

[witherfang]

Damn that chorus hits different than the original

[Jdrunnin]

My favorite song has finally come to youtube! Another wonderful song from City Poppin Vol 2

[MikeChimeri]

The Taeko Onuki original was the song that led me down the city pop rabbit hole last Tuesday night. I have listened to that countless times since, and now I have your adaptation to add to the rotation. Your refrain captured the gospel choir sound Taeko strove for on the original. The breakdown matched the Eric Gale-esque guitar solo you'd find on a Bob James or Grover Washington Jr. song from that era (the '70s). The first "passing by" ("ima o") even felt like an homage to how "that's the time" was structured in Roberta Flack's "Feel Like Makin' Love, " which Bob arranged (and covered shortly after). Anyway, thank you again.

[tadakimasu]

Heard the original, this was an appropriate rendition to 4am. Stayed up listening to this banger in the background on loop in the most literal sense to 4am! Thanks for sharing~

[Triggerx]

Can't wait, gonna be a banger I'm sure!
Some other covers that would be sweet:
Mai Yamane - Tasogare; Junko Ohashi - I Love You So; Tomoko Aran - Midnight Pretenders

[sen]

omg you're making English covers of my favorites!

[Leephyow]

OMG!! this cover is P E R F E C T, I love it!

[aisas]

My ears experience quality sound. I think I will have good dreams tonight. And in the morning, if I have work to do, I always listen to your music while working.

[Ebbsy]

Once again, she has done it, and I am so thankful for her dedication and hard work.

Thank you so much Ms. Myers! Your work is highly appreciated and it had elevated my taste in citypop so much.

[braydenleaderofthetirkins]

How are you this good?! I’ve been trying to get my parents and friends to listen as well since I feel like these songs would be up their alley as well. Great work!

[Azuraug]

I need a playlist of all the covers she has done from JP songs into english cause she's so insanely good at it

[jdd_]

you don't understand how happy I am whenever I see you post.
