I ended up with a new pair of shoes,
So I decided to let some old ones go,
But as I was choosing, it began to feel somewhat pointless;
At the very least, I started to want to hear your voice.

There’s no limit to the things I want –
Even when I finally get one of them, I’m never fulfilled.
What did I want to be when I was young? I’m sure I’ve talked about it any number of times…

I’m going to say something strange now;
It won’t really lead anywhere, but I want you to hear it.
Even if I become what I always wanted, what I really desire,
Is to be the person you fell in love with –
That’s all I really want to say.

The television rehearses today’s happenings in a hurry.
A young girl pursues her pen, while a soldier longs for her native home,
But I have both in hand.

When I don’t have confidence in my answers…
When I can’t make a decision about something difficult…
I end up thinking about what way of living you’d be proud of.

You can go ahead and laugh, saying, “You’re overthinking things,”
But I want you to hear me out until the end.
Even at times when the world presents me with something, all I really desire,
Is to simply be here with you –
That’s all I really want to say.

新しい靴　ひとつ増えて
どれかひとつ手放そうと　選んでたら
なぜかむなしくて
とにかくすぐ君の声聞きたくなった

欲しいものはきりがない
やっと手にしても　満たされることはなくて
むかし何になりたかったか　そんな話きっと何度もしたけど

おかしなことを今から言うよ
まとまらないけど聞いてほしい
なりたいものになれるとしても　望むのは
君が好きになってくれた僕
それが言いたくて

テレビが今日の出来事を急ぎ足でおさらいする
少女はペンを　兵士はふるさとを　求めていて
僕には両方がある

答えに自信がないとき
難しいことを決めなくちゃいけないとき
君に誇れる生き方はどういうものかって　考えてみるんだ

大げさだよって　笑ってもいい
だけど最後まで聞いてほしい
世界が何を差し出すときも　望むのは
ただ君とともにあることだけ
それが言いたくて
