Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

「ただいま」の代わりに扉の音を殺して

Instead of "I'm home," I quiet the sound of the door

暗い部屋へと抜き足差し足で入り込んで眠る日々の先に

Stealthily entering a dark room, beyond the days spent sleeping

やっと軽くなったカバンを肩に掛けて

Hanging a bag that finally feels lighter on my shoulder

子供の声飛び交う道 寝不足らしくもない早歩きで進む

Walking quickly down streets filled with children's voices, not even tired

「寂しい」と告げる事さえ躊躇ってたあなたには

For you, who hesitated even to say "I'm lonely,"

「溢れ出しそう」を溢れ出さして欲しいんだ

I want you to let it overflow, to spill out naturally

どんな言葉も力不足なら 早くドアを開けよう

If words are not enough, then quickly open the door

ただ「気をつけて」と伝え帰りを待ち侘びてた

Just telling you "Take care," waiting eagerly for your return

あなたの優しさにはもう用はない わがままだけ聞かせて

I no longer need your gentle kindness—just let me be selfish with you

夢や生き甲斐って馬鹿でかい絵空事の中

Dreams and purpose in life are just big, silly fairy tales

あなたがいなくちゃ何にもないのと同じ

Without you, it's just nothing, the same as nothing at all

「ただいま、おかえり」のくだりがやけに響く

The scene of "I'm home, welcome back" echoes strangely

とはいえ暮らしとは理想よりずっと忙しなく

Still, life is busier than dreams or ideals, far from perfect

すぐに鞄の中重くなって 要領の悪さに我ながらに呆れる

My bag gets heavy quickly, and I’m amazed at how clumsy I am

「寂しい」と告げる事さえ躊躇ってたあなたから

From you, who hesitated even to say "I'm lonely,"

「溢れ出しそう」を溢れ出さしたのは僕なのに

I was the one who caused "it’s about to overflow" to spill out

約束はもうボロボロになってた それでも笑ってくれた あぁ...

Promises are already tattered, but you still smiled—oh...

嘘つきが偉そうな事また言うけれど 許してほしい

Liars sometimes say lofty things, but I want you to forgive me

有言実行にはほど遠くても誓う事で

Even if I fall far from keeping my promises, I swear to try

あなたに支えてもらいながら 救われながら

While being supported and saved by you, I hold on

ただ「気をつけて」と伝え帰りを待ち侘びてた

Just telling you "Take care," waiting eagerly for your return

あなたの優しさにはもう用はない わがままだけ聞かせて

I no longer need your gentle kindness—just let me be selfish with you

夢や生き甲斐って馬鹿でかい絵空事の中

Dreams and purpose in life are just big, silly fairy tales

あなたがいなくちゃ何にもないのと同じ

Without you, it’s just nothing, the same as nothing at all

「ただいま、おかえり」のくだりがない日も聞こえる

On days when I don't hear "I'm home, welcome back"

ああ、明日は早く帰れるよ おそらくだけど

Oh, tomorrow I’ll get home early, probably

いつもごめんほんと

Sorry, always, really
