Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

誰でもいいや

Anyone will do

誰でもいいから

Anyone will do

誰かいないか

Is there someone?

声ではないが

It's not a voice, but

睨(にら)む視線が

The glaring gaze

２つと在ると思えた

I thought there were two

これでおさらば

Goodbye to this

呪縛(じゅばく)からさらば

Farewell to the curse

夜が解(ほど)けた

The night has unraveled

好奇心だった

It was curiosity

有刺(ゆうし)鉄線(てっせん)の

To the other side of

向こう側へと

The barbed wire

全然興味ないって

I have no interest at all

蝶(ちょう)が舞い込めば

If a butterfly comes in

想像通りだった

It was just as I imagined

といえば嘘になるが

It would be a lie to say otherwise

退廃的(たいはいてき)だった

It was decadent

コーヒーの泡をこぼした

I spilled the foam of my coffee

そんな　そんな

Such, such

毎日だった

Was an everyday occurrence

僕の前に

You appeared before me

現れた君は

No matter what, no matter what

どうしたってどうしたって

I still can't move forward

進めないままだ

進めないままだ

ヒッピーなこの街の性(さが)に

In this hippie town's nature

どうやってどうやって

How, how

理由を

To find a reason

"大事なんだ全部"

“Everything is important”

聞こえだけは良いけれど

It sounds good, but

向こう側から

From the other side

突如現れて

You suddenly appeared

気づけば

Before I knew it

連れていかれて

We were being taken away

しまいそうな僕ら

We seem to be

手放すことに怯えて

Frightened to let go

君は今日も ステイ

You stay today too

君は今日も ステイ

You stay today too

貴方々(あなたがた)には

To you all

貴方々には　お世話になった

I owe you all a lot

覚えはないが

I don't remember, but

何かと言いたい

I want to say something

そんな顔していますが

You have that kind of face

目に映るものが

What I see

ここに在るもの全てが

Everything that exists here

偽物でした

Was a fake

情にかけたって

Even if I get emotional

棒に振ったって

Even if I throw it away

今に始まる

It starts now

精々舌を噛んで

Just bite my tongue

そこで黙っていれば

If I stay silent there

想定通りだった

It was just as I expected

といえば嘘になるが

It would be a lie to say otherwise

感傷的だった

It was sentimental

君らしくはないが

Not like you, but

そんなそんな

Such, such

表情が

That expression

一瞬僕の目には

For a moment, in my eyes

美しく映ってました

It looked beautiful

ずっとどこかで

All along somewhere

貴方に憧れ

I admired you

その度自分を

Each time, I

失いかけていました

Was about to lose myself

本物を超えろ

Surpass the real thing

ビビれば

If you get scared

君は今日もステイ

You stay today too

どうしたってどうしたって

No matter what, no matter what

進めないままだ

I still can't move forward

ヒッピーなこの街の性に

In this hippie town's nature

どうやってどうやって

How, how

理由を

To find a reason

"大事なんだ全部"

“Everything is important”

聞こえだけは良いけれど

It sounds good, but

向こう側から

From the other side

突如現れて

You suddenly appeared

気づけば

Before I knew it

連れていかれて

We were being taken away

しまいそうな僕ら

We seem to be

手放すことに怯えて

Frightened to let go

君は今日も ステイ

You stay today too

ずっとどこかで

All along somewhere

貴方に憧れ

I admired you

その度自分を

Each time, I

失いかけていました

Was about to lose myself

本物を超えろ

Surpass the real thing

ビビれば

If you get scared

君は今日も　ステイ

You stay today too

君は今日も　ステイ

You stay today too

君は今日も　ステイ

You stay today too
