[English]

It’s already been two years since we met

It feels fast, yet it feels slow at the same time

Through the dazzling light and the long rains

I'm happy because I'm with all of you

I want to stay together forever, but

I know that nothing lasts eternally

So I'll hold these youthfully bright days close to my heart

Right now, I want to move forward with you

Let's make a promise again at this station

Even after decades, when we've grown into adults

You'll still be running a little bit late, just like always

And you'll probably give me a shy smile

I wonder if I'll be the type to cry

We weren't just friends, and we weren't family

It was a connection unlike any I'd ever known

I used to envy those who found everything so easy

There were nights when I couldn't sleep

Unable to express my honest feelings

As we drifted apart for a while

That's why now, I'll say it out loud

To make sure you hear it: "I love you"

The clouds seem close enough to touch if we reach out

Let's wait just a little longer and reach them together

Even if we are apart, I won't forget

I'll be waiting for you right here at this station

The tight flower buds are blooming vividly

Right now, in full glory

866

Let's keep building our memories together

Forever

Was I always laughing this much?

Was I always such a crybaby?

A side of myself I never knew is coming out

For some reason, when I'm with everyone

Let's make a promise again at this station

Even after decades, when we've grown into adults

Even the cloudy days when I struggled all alone

Are okay now

Because you all are my sunshine

[Japanese]

出会ってから もう2年経つね

早いようで 遅いような

眩しい光 長い雨も

みんなといて 幸せだよ

ずっと一緒にいたいけど

きっと 永遠じゃないから

この青春 抱きしめるよ

いま君と 進みたい

この駅でまた約束しよう

何十年経って 大人になっても

君は変わらず少し遅刻

はにかむんでしょう

僕は泣いたりするのかな

友達じゃない 家族じゃない

初めての出逢いだった

器用な仲間 羨ましくて

眠れない夜もあったよ

素直な気持ち 伝えられなくて

すれ違った時間

だから今は 大きい声で

届けるよ 「大好き」を

手を伸ばしたら 掴める雲

もう少し待って みんなで掴もう

離れていても 忘れないよ

僕はこの駅で君をずっと待っている

固い蕾は 鮮やかに

今 咲き誇る

866

これからも重ねて行こう

ずっと

こんなに僕は笑ってたかな

こんなに僕は泣き虫だった？

知らない自分 出てくるんだ

みんなといると なぜか

この駅でまた約束しよう

何十年経って 大人になっても

1人悩んだ 曇り空も

今は大丈夫

みんなが太陽だから
