The light outside the window, the cloudiness through the lens,
A girl walking home from school, carrying her backpack,
The voices falling through the gaps in the trees,
The song searching in the valleys of daily life,
Is it always the same? Is it always as it is?
My senior from the past has already quit music,
I’m still sitting here, writing lyrics,
Maybe I’ve been searching too hard for the meaning of living through writing lyrics,
Hey, it really seems foolish,
Not being able to notice the things I most wanted to notice,
Overlooking only the things that are really important,
Like wanting you to be by my side,
Even simple words,
I couldn’t say them before my throat, it became scary,
Everywhere, the town quickly becomes dark,
The sun quickly gets farther away without me,
Hey, teacher, tell me,
About everything in this world
That wasn’t written in the textbooks.
I cry when it gets tough,
I cry even when I’m alone,
Each time, I write lyrics,
Then start worrying again,
I cry when I can’t reach,
I cry when I want to forget,
The feelings I can’t put into words,
I scream because I can’t sing,
I cry as my feelings accumulate,
I cry as I remember,
I said it would be the last time,
But today, I’m crying again,
I love you, I love me,
I won’t forget anything, in my lifetime,
I’ll change it into words and voice it out,
I’ll sing about myself.
For example, or maybe,
Talking about what ifs,
I always bragged about those things,
But actually, from now on,
The future is vague, like being lost,
In a flower bed where nearly 10 billion lives bloom and fall,
I always wanted to be the only color that exists,
Envious of the one next to me, always searching for distant stars,
Ah, at this rate, I’ll overlook the palm of my hand again,
I just wanted to know the most important thing,
Before I knew it, I’m once again holding my head alone,
I wanted to be saved by something other than words,
If only I had your warmth,
I’d be fine, I believe I can manage somehow,
Can I believe in that?
It’s okay, because I’m by your side,
Can I believe in that completely?
Hey, it’s okay,
It’s okay, it’s okay.
I cry when it gets tough,
I cry even when I’m alone,
Each time, I write lyrics,
Then start worrying again,
I cry when I can’t reach,
I cry when I want to forget,
The feelings I can’t put into words,
I scream because I can’t sing,
I cry as my feelings accumulate,
I cry as I remember,
I said it would be the last time,
But today, I’m crying again,
I love you, I love me,
I won’t forget anything, in my lifetime,
I’ll change it into words and voice it out,
I’ll sing about myself.
Thank you, I’m sorry,
Goodbye, is there anything else?
With as many words as I can muster,
I’ll sing about myself,
In this world that only comes once,
And in the stars that have become distant,
I cry when I can’t reach,
Even you, whom I wanted to forget,
Ah, as always,
Today, the sun has risen again,
Shining on me,
It’s the start of another day,
So, take care,
Today, I’ve reached my limit,
The rest I leave to you.
