Lyrics & Translation
Who did you learn it from?
Every time we meet, I feel a little lonelier
Just by waving my hand
It seems like you vanish
I tend to overthink everything
That bright tomorrow, you're in it too
Riding on the back of a glass bird
I'm straddling it
You and the angel laughing
Things that weren't there yesterday
I want to show you
That I miss you
Seeing you with bedhead
Somehow makes me feel alive
Getting mad with that young face
The shape of your mouth is also adorable
The shadows of loneliness and your stride
I want to help you find your speed again
If there's anything about to break
I'll hold you from behind
Tightly, until you're forgiven
That phrase "Thank you"—
Also brings worries to mind. It's strange, huh?
I was told it’s a beautiful word
But I feel like it might disappear
If I can cross that puddle
Surely, from now on
We’ll be able to meet again
I don’t want to believe in impossible wishes
I try to stand on tiptoe, so I won’t sink
あるとは信じたくはないんだよ
つま先立つ 沈まないように
Trembles just a little, trying to say something
Even your tears during a passing shower
Did you hide them from me?
With a faint premonition
So I don’t get misled
I believe, I believe
In your hidden true feelings behind your contradictions
Because I notice them, I do
Seeing you with bedhead
Somehow makes me feel alive
Getting mad with that young face
The shape of your mouth is also adorable
The shadows of loneliness and your stride
I want to help you find your speed again
If there's anything about to break
I'll hold you from behind
Tightly, until you're forgiven
潰れそうな 何かがあるなら
後ろから抱きしめる
許されるまで 強く
