[English]

It's okay to have nothing tomorrow

It's fine even if the talk is pointless

It's okay to be meaningless

As long as we're here now, that's enough

Even trivial fights

And the setting sun fading away in the city

Close your eyes, and it's a treasure

Our trail becomes one

Days of wandering turn into an endless map

Even if tears fall or it's painful

Even if we're apart, don't forget

No matter when or where

We're not alone

It's okay if our steps are a little different

It's okay if we take different roads

Don't worry about it, just go with the flow

As long as we cherish what’s important

Even if we're with someone, we felt empty

A boy with sad eyes

Now he feels a little nostalgic

Our trail becomes one

Days of wandering turn into an endless map

Even if tears fall or it's painful

Even if we're apart, don't forget

No matter when or where

We're not alone

Facing strong headwinds again, footprints erased

Even if I can't see anything anymore

It won't disappear, engraved in my heart

Here we come, to this point, oh

Our trail becomes one

Days of wandering turn into an endless map

Even if tears fall or it's painful

Even if we're apart, don't forget

No matter when or where

We're not alone

[Japanese]

何もない　明日だっていいさ

くだらない　話だっていい

意味のないくらいでいいさ

そこに　いま　僕らがいればいいんだ

しょうもないような　諍いも

街に消えてった　夕陽も

目を閉じれば　宝物さ

僕らの轍は　ひとつになって

道草の日々が　果てない地図へ

涙していたって　苦しくたって

離れていたって　忘れないで

いつになったって　どこにいたって

独りきりじゃない

歩幅くらい　違っていいさ

道じゃない　道があっていい

気にしないくらいでいいさ

僕らが　大事にしてりゃいいんだ

誰といたって　虚ろだった

悲しい瞳をした　少年が

いまは少し　懐かしくて

僕らの轍は　ひとつになって

道草の日々が　果てない地図へ

涙していたって　苦しくたって

離れていたって　忘れないで

いつになったって　どこにいたって

独りきりじゃない

また向かい風　足跡さらって

何も見えなくなっても

消えたりしないぜ　心に刻んで

来たよ　ここまで　Oh

僕らの轍は　ひとつになって

道草の日々が　果てない地図へ

涙していたって　苦しくたって

離れていたって　忘れないで

いつになったって　どこにいたって

独りきりじゃない
