見せて 未来の私 Show me my future self 00:01
笑ってるの ねえ? You're smiling, right? 00:05
二人の歩幅 呼吸 仕草 重なってゆくの Our steps, breaths, gestures are overlapping more and more 00:08

また置き忘れたビニール傘 I forgot my plastic umbrella again 00:30
慣れないヒールの靴ずれ Get a blister from the unfamiliar high heels 00:33
今なら笑える I can laugh now 00:35
5時のチャイムで出来上がってたカレーライス The curry rice that was ready at 5 o’clock chime 00:40
あの頃は甘口だったのにな Back then, it was mild 00:45

はぁ 何度言えばわかるの? Sigh, how many times do I have to say it? 01:29
でも誰かのせいに出来るって But being able to blame someone else... 01:34
ふと思えば Sometimes I think... 01:36

Lyrics & Translation

[English] Show me my future self
You're smiling, right?
Our steps, breaths, gestures are overlapping more and more
Watch me, the me from that time
Next time for sure, come on, don’t stop
Keep moving forward, even if you sometimes run away, grab tomorrow
I forgot my plastic umbrella again
Get a blister from the unfamiliar high heels
I can laugh now
The curry rice that was ready at 5 o’clock chime
Back then, it was mild
Yes, right now, I’m just at the perfect moment
Don’t stop, keep going forward, seize tomorrow
Keep moving, even if you sometimes run away, grab tomorrow
My room is a mess again
I just finished cleaning
Sigh, how many times do I have to say it?
But being able to blame someone else...
Sometimes I think...
Is this what happiness really is?
I’m leaving, see you later
I’m home, welcome back
Let’s eat, thank you for the meal
Thank you, thank you
Words and words start to color and fill in
Hey, look
Show me my future self
You’re smiling, right?
Our steps, breaths, gestures are overlapping more and more
Watch me, the me from that time
Next time for sure, come on
Jump in, stumble and fall, I’m here with you
Show me my future self
You’re smiling, right?
Our steps, breaths, gestures are overlapping more and more
Watch me, the me from that time
Next time for sure, come on
Jump in, stumble and fall, because you are here with me
I’m leaving, see you later
I’m home, welcome back
Thank you
