Letra:

[日本語]

[English]

帰ろうとしない帰り道　いつもどおり

Walking home along the same old road that refuses to turn back

視界の隅っこ　ほとんど外　君が鼻をすすった

In the corner of my vision, almost outside of sight, you sniffled your nose

空を割る夕方のサイレン

The evening siren pierces the sky

給水塔の下　あれは蝙蝠

Under the water tower, that's a bat

僕らは時計を見ないようにしていたけど

We tried not to look at the clock, but

そんな風にして時間に気付いてしまうから

In that way, we end up noticing the time

かき消すように喋ろうとして

We try to talk so it’s drowned out, but

なんだかやっぱり黙ってしまう

Somehow, we still end up silent

君の影の　君らしい揺れ方を

Watching your shadow sway in your own unique way

眺めているだけで　泣きそうになったよ

Just gazing at it almost made me cry

見つけた言葉いくつ　繋げたって遠ざかる

No matter how many words I find and string together, they drift away

今一番伝えたい想いが　胸の中　声を上げる

The feelings I want to tell you most right now are swelling in my chest, raising my voice

そんなの全て飛び越えて　子供のまま笑って

Surpassing all that, I’ll keep smiling like a child

裸足のメロディー歌うから　いつも今を許してしまう

Singing barefoot melodies, I always forgive the present

笑顔のまま　ずるいよな

Staying with a smile—that’s unfair, isn’t it?

いつの日か　どっちかが遠くに行ったりして

Someday, one of us might go far away

会えなくなったりするのかな　今が嘘みたいに

Maybe we won’t be able to meet anymore, as if today was a lie

じゃあまた会えた時　今みたいに

Then again, when we meet again, just like now

黙ったままで側にいられるのかな

Will we be able to stay silent and just be together?

大人っぽく振る舞ったり　尖ってみせたり

Behaving more grown-up, showing a side of sharpness

刺さった時に誤魔化して　変な感じになったり

Hiding the pain when it stings, feeling strange

そういうの　まとめて愛せるくらいに

Being able to love all that, even the messiness

僕らは僕らを信じられていた

We believed in ourselves

わりと同時に　くしゃみしちゃうのが

It was funny when we sneezed at almost the same time

面白かったよ　泣きそうになったよ

It made me tear up, I was laughing and crying

今日が明日　昨日になって　誰かが忘れたって

Today becomes tomorrow and yesterday, and maybe someone forgets

今君がここにいる事を　僕は忘れないから

But I won’t forget that you are here now

見えない涙拭って　謝るように笑って

Wiping invisible tears, smiling as if apologizing

触ったら消えてしまいそうな　細い指の冷たさが

The coldness of your thin fingers, which seem to disappear if touched

火傷みたいに残っている

Stays with me like a burn

見つけた言葉いくつ　繋げたって遠ざかる

No matter how many words I find and string together, they drift away

今一番伝えたい想いが　胸の中　声を上げる

The feelings I want to tell you most right now are swelling in my chest, raising my voice

せーので全て飛び越えて　僕らのまま笑って

Jumping over everything in unison, we keep smiling as we are

裸足のメロディー歌うから　そして一緒に手を振るんだよ

Singing barefoot melodies, and waving hands together

笑顔のまま　またねって

Staying with a smile, just saying see you again

雨でも晴れでも　空のない世界でも

Rain or shine, in a world without a sky

また明日　明日が　ちゃんときますように

Hope tomorrow will come again, properly, I pray

一緒じゃなくても　一人だったとしても

Even if we're not together or alone

また明日の中に　君がいますように

I hope you’ll be inside tomorrow as well
