1.When I look back on the path I’ve walked, it’s not some neat little tale
2.Of leaping over
3.Of rising above
4.It was never that kind of story, was it?5.
6.If a sudden warmth brings me back to myself
7.There are still wounds
8.That haven’t healed
9.That I can’t forget — and they still hurt, don’t they?10.
11.There were times we trampled the bonds we once praised
12.Times we couldn’t stand together
13.Times we couldn’t understand each other —
14.Yeah, those moments existed too15.
16.In the morning light
17.I tied my tie
18.And rubbed my heavy legs19.
20.By evening
21.There was nothing
22.I cursed those empty days23.
24.At dawn
25.In front of the convenience store
26.From the far eastern edge
27.The sun crept up and dyed the sky28.
29.What’s the point of looking back now?
30.Don’t look back
31.That’s right — hold the present tighter than anyone else
32.Don’t turn to the darkness — the sun will rise soon, won’t it?33.
34.Going against the trends
35.Escaping the crowds in the city center
36.While outside, it’s an ice age
37.But I can’t afford to freeze38.
39.In the morning light, I tied my tie
40.By evening, there was nothing
41.Still
42.I want to keep hoping43.
44.So that I won’t have regrets
45.I’ll keep the fire burning deep in my chest46.
47.What’s the point of looking back now?
48.Don’t look back
49.That’s right — hold the present tighter than anyone else
50.Don’t turn to the darkness —
51.The morning sun will surely shine on us52.
53.What’s the point of looking back now?
54.Don’t look back
55.That’s right — hold the present tighter than anyone else
56.Don’t turn to the darkness — the sun is about to rise, isn’t it?57.
58.In the morning light
59.I tied my tie
60.By evening, there was nothing
61.At dawn
62.In front of the convenience store…63.
64.Still
65.I want to keep hoping
