Paroles:

[日本語]

[English]

All day　ずっと　ソファーに寝そべって

All day long, just lying on the couch

スマホを見てる非生産的日常

Spending unproductive days staring at my phone

あんたを見てると腹が立つ　一瞬　殺意さえ浮かぶ

Seeing you makes me angry—sometimes I even feel like I want to kill

悩み一つないなんて　世の中　舐めてるんだろう？

Thinking you have no worries at all—are you mocking this world?

夕暮れのグラウンドで一人

All alone on the school ground at sunset

ピッチャーゴロに全力で走ってたあの日

Back then, running my hardest on the pitcher's mound

間に合う　間に合わないは　生きる答えじゃなく　僕のイノセンス

Whether I make it or not isn’t the answer to living—it's my innocence

自分が　何歳の頃に戻りたいか

What age do I want to go back to?

記憶の目盛りの合わせ方を忘れた

I’ve forgotten how to set the dial on my memory

（Go on back）

(Go on back)

最高の日々は終わった？

Are the best days over?

幸せな日々は消えた？

Have the happy days disappeared?

輝いた瞬間は遠く

The shining moments are far away

（Those days）

(Those days)

過去に　戻れやしないと知っている

I know I can't go back to the past

夢を見るなら　先の未来がいい

If I dream, I prefer the future ahead

一体　何に挫折したんだろう？

What exactly did I give up on?

目指した夢がなんだか　思い出せなくなった

I can’t even remember what dream I was chasing

腹立つあんたはよく似てる　現状維持でいいんだ

You, who gets angry so easily, are so similar—I’m fine with staying where I am

明日に期待しなきゃ　傷つくこともないさ

If I just look forward to tomorrow, I won’t get hurt

真っ暗なグラウンドの風は　

The wind at the pitch-black field

どこかを走る列車の汽笛を運んで

Carries the train whistle from somewhere

行き先がどこかなんて　今はどうでもいい　微かなリグレット

Where it’s headed doesn’t matter now—just a faint regret

本当に　あの頃　そんな楽しかったか？

Did I really enjoy those days back then?

きっと　特別　楽しくはなかっただろう

They probably weren’t particularly special or fun

（Go on back）

(Go on back)

思い出の日々は普通だ

The days I remember are just ordinary

目に浮かぶ日々は幻想

The memories that come to mind are illusions

美しく見えるだけさ

They only look beautiful because of that

（Those days）

(Those days)

大人になったその分だけ

The more I grow up,

青春を美化し続ける

The more I keep mythologizing my youth

今が過ぎる足音が聴こえなくて （目の前の景色に　意識を奪われて）

I can’t hear the footsteps of the passing years

こんな今もいつの日か輝くんだ （大人への階段）

(Caught up in the scenery before my eyes)

自分が　何歳の頃に戻りたいか

Even now, someday, I will shine again

記憶の目盛りの合わせ方を忘れた

What age do I want to go back to?

（Go on back）

I’ve forgotten how to set the dial on my memory

最高の日々は終わった？

(Go on back)

幸せな日々は消えた？

Are the best days over?

輝いた瞬間は遠く

Have the happy days disappeared?

（Those days）

The shining moments are far away

過去に　戻れやしないと知っている

I know I can't go back to the past

夢を見るなら　先の未来がいい

If I dream, I prefer the future ahead
