Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

何ページもついやして綴られた僕らの気分

Our feelings written across many pages

どうしてか一行の空白をうめられない

I can't seem to fill in the blank line

押花の栞はさんで君と転がす使い捨ての自転車

With a pressed flower bookmark, we roll along on a disposable bicycle

忘れかけの煉瓦を

The bricks I almost forgot

積み上げてはくずした

I stacked them up and then knocked them down

イコールへとひきずられていく

Being dragged towards an equal sign

こわいくらいに青い空を

The sky is frighteningly blue

遊びつかれた僕らは

We, tired from playing,

きっと思い出すこともない

Surely won't remember

そうやって今は僕の方へ

Now, pushing towards me

押しつける陽射しの束

A bundle of sunlight

まだ二人はすぐそこにいるのに

Even though we are still right there

「どうかまた会えますように」なんて

"I hope we can meet again," I say

どうかしてるみたい

It feels like something's off

...

...

1ページめくるてのひら

Turning the first page with my palm

くちびるで結んだミサンガ

A friendship bracelet tied with my lips

ねぇ今日も変わらない今日で

Hey, today is just like any other day

雨ふれば電話もできるよ

If it rains, I can call you too

そうやって今は君の方へ (いつのまにか切れたミサンガ)

Now, I'm heading towards you (the bracelet has somehow come undone)

押しつける僕の優しさを (でもなぜか言えないままだよ)

My kindness pressed against you (but for some reason, I still can't say it)

本当どうかしてるみたい

It really feels like something's off

...

...

どれか一つをえらべば音をたてて壊れる

If I choose one, it will break with a sound

それが愛だなんておどけて君は笑ってた

You laughed, joking that this is love

間に合ってよかった

I'm glad I made it in time

街は知らないふりをきめて眠った

The town pretends not to know and sleeps

忘れかけの煉瓦を積み上げた場所にゆこう

Let's go to the place where I stacked the bricks I almost forgot

海を見渡す坂をかけのぼって

Running up the slope overlooking the sea

こわいくらいに青い空と

The sky is frighteningly blue

右手にサイダー左手はずっと君をさがしている

With soda in my right hand, my left hand is always searching for you

そうやって塞いだ両の手で

With both hands closed off like that

抱きしめている春の風

I embrace the spring breeze

まだ時間は僕らのもので

Time is still ours

「いつか、忘れてしまう今日だね」なんて

“Someday, this today will be forgotten,” I say

言わないでほしいよ

I don't want you to say that

そうやって「今」は僕の方へ

Now, "the now" is towards me

問いつめることもなくて

Without questioning anything

まだ二人はすぐそこにいるだろう

We are still right there, aren't we?

「そうだ、空白を埋める言葉は」

“That's right, the words to fill the blank are”

いや、まだ言わないでおこう

No, I think I'll hold off on saying them

...

...

1ページめくるてのひら

Turning the first page with my palm

くちびるでほどいたミサンガ

A friendship bracelet untied with my lips

始発電車まばらな幸せ

The first train, scattered happiness

...

ねぇ、今日も変わらない今日だ

Hey, today is just like any other day

...

...

本当どうかしてるみたい

It really feels like something's off
