Original Lyrics: Naze Boku Tachi wa Hashiru no ka? Lyrics (Romanized)
1.If we can’t find some kind of purpose
2.Humans can’t go on living
3.Up ahead, faint and hazy
4.We search for a goal that rises into view5.
6.The sunlight reflecting off the classroom window
7.Looked just like your gaze
8.I had this feeling you were definitely looking this way—
9.Was I just imagining it?10.
11.The droplets of sweat speak to me:
12.What is your heart searching for?
13.Honest feelings
14.Like they’ve been blown by the wind
15.Fade away somewhere16.

17.Why is it that we run?
18.Why do we keep circling
19.The midsummer schoolyard over and over?20.
21.Why is it that we don’t stop?
22.It’s not like
23.A teacher or someone told us to
24.I think youth is irrational25.
26.Because the wind stopped blowing at some point
27.The temperature on the ground keeps rising
28.Surely no one would be satisfied
29.With a season that’s just pleasantly cool30.
31.Direct sunlight beating down
32.Burning our skin—
33.Even breathing is painful
34.But I want to believe
35.I’m someone who can overcome that…36.
37.We have no choice but to run
38.There’s no meaning to it at all
39.Our legs just move on their own40.
41.Aren’t we going to leave the schoolyard?
42.Not just stay in the same place…
43.Even if we’re tracing circles
44.I still think
45.This behavior is irrational46.
47.This time
48.That’s too much to handle—
49.If we don’t let it out
50.Somewhere
51.We’re bound to explode52.
53.Why is it that we can’t stay still?
54.It’s not thought—it’s impulse that drives us55.
56.Why is it that we don’t stop?
57.It’s not like
58.A teacher or someone told us to
59.I think youth is irrational
60.We run so we won’t lose to that irrationality
