[English]

Platform at Kita-Senju Station

Silver ticket gate

Reminiscing and getting lost in memories

On a bench we sat

We couldn't see a thing

Vowing our future to each other

Trees and cats enduring the cold

As if it were about us

Shaking their bodies, trying to bloom

Smiling beautifully

No need to rush

Someday, become a bouquet for me

Wait for me until then

Let's spend our time together

Exploring what the future holds, until we're bored

While conveying the bare minimum of love

I wonder what kind of future

Is peeking at us from the other side

If we share your strength and my weakness

I wonder what amazing things will happen?

Look, we're already so happy

Someday alone, someday together

Let's keep increasing what's precious

Walking lightly through Kita-Senju Station

Your indigo skirt

Appearing farther and farther away than usual

My footsteps quickening

I felt like I had to be

Honest

Too spoiled by your kindness

It has to be you, the one walking ahead

Who places your palm on the back of a man too afraid

It can't be anyone else

I hope the future

Waves at us

The hardships of daily life and my body

Keep aimlessly searching for a place to return to

Look, the sunset is already so beautiful

When I recall the lights of the past

I'm sure I'll realize what's precious

...

No need to rush

Someday, become a bouquet for me

We couldn't see a thing

Vowing our future to each other

Ah

I wonder what kind of future

Is peeking at us from the other side

If we share your strength and my weakness

I wonder what amazing things will happen?

Look, we're already so happy

Someday alone, someday together

No, even more than that

Shall we keep increasing what's precious?

...

The familiar platform of the station

A light blue greeting

"Welcome home," and

The happiness of stepping on the softly swaying shadow

...

[Japanese]

北千住駅のプラットホーム

銀色の改札

思い出話と想い出ふかし

腰掛けたベンチで

僕らは何も見えない

未来を誓い合った

寒さにこらえた木々と猫が

まるで僕らのことで

蕾を咲かせようと身を揺らしてる

素敵に笑っている

焦らないでいい

いつか花束になっておくれよ

それまで待っていてね

これからの展開を二人で

飽きるまで過ごしてみるからね

最低限の愛を伝えながら

どんな未来が

こちらを覗いてるかな

君の強さと僕の弱さを分け合えば

どんな凄いことが起きるかな？

ほら もうこんなにも幸せ

いつかは一人 いつかは二人

大切を増やしていこう

北千住駅をフワッと歩く

藍色のスカート

いつになく遠く遠くに見える

加速する足音

素直じゃないと

いけないような気がしたよ

優しさに甘すぎて

怯えすぎた男の背中に

掌を添えてくれるのはもう

前を歩く君じゃなきゃダメだから

どうか未来が

こちらに手を振ってほしい

日々の辛さと僕の体が

だらしなく帰る場所を探し続けている

ほら もうこんなにも夕焼け

いつかの灯り思い出すとき

大切に気づくのでしょう

焦らないでいい

いつか花束になっておくれよ

僕らは何も見えない

未来を誓い合った

あぁ

どんな未来が

こちらを覗いているかな

君の強さと僕の弱さを分け合えば

どんな凄いことが起きるかな？

ほら もうこんなにも幸せ

いつかは一人 いつかは二人

いやもっともっと

大切を増やしていこう？

住み慣れた駅のプラットフォーム

水色に挨拶

「おかえりなさい」 と

小さく揺れる影を踏む幸せ
