There are several interesting things about this song. First of all, the lyrics are written from the prespective of a female. In the line "shiawase ichiban...", "shiawase" is sung in place of "kazoku" (family). I interpret this to mean that the guy in this put his family over her (on holidays and such). As for the line after that ("onna no buki"...) it basically means that nothing she did (even sexual things) ever really made him happy. In several lines in this song "kimi" is pronounced in place of "denwa". This means that now she thinks of the phone he gave her as him, since that's all he has to remember him by now. In the line "kokoro wa kare susuki" it literally means "my heart is dead miscanthus" (miscanthus meaning a type of tall Japanese grass). I figured my translation would sound a little bit better. Also (for those of you who don't know), the song titles and artists mentioned are real ones. The later is Utada Hikaru's "Automatic", and the former is "Nagai Yoru" by Chiharu.

誰が真実なの？気づいた時は遅すぎて
片手でバイバイと真っ赤なポルシェに乗り込む彼
出会った時くれたDoCoMoのF503i
電波が届かない、いつでも私（あたし）だけ圏外
家族（しあわせ）１番、私（あたし）が２番おかしくないですか？
「女の武器」見せてもまだ「かけるてこないんですか？」
電話（キミ）を見ていた、ずっと待ってた
四六時中、飽きもせずじっと
電話（キミ）を見ていた、今夜も鳴かず
心は枯れすすき
彼と同じのたばこ吸ってニオイなつかしremembrance～
ドラマみたいにいつかは来ると
ずっと待ってたHappy end～
二度と戻れないと最後に涙のリクエスト
町のネオンと酒（バーボン）、酔わせて下さい今夜は・・・
音痴の客が「千春」の「長い夜」を歌ってる
タクシーのラジオからは
「ヒッキー」の「Automatic」
電話（キミ）を見ていた、ずっと待ってた
四六時中、飽きもせずじっと
電話（キミ）を見ていた、今夜も鳴かず
心は枯れすすき
メールも見ていた、ずっと待ってた
センター問い合わせもしてみた
電話（キミ）を見ていた、今夜も鳴かず
夜（こころ）は枯れすすき
